Great catch for EBMM.I saw Johnny play in London at the Guitar show.He's sure got fast fingers. Tele's and Silo's are class. Maybe he should have one of these.

Everytime I look at your morphed Silo/Tele (which I do like the look of it, a lot) I wonder what it would have looked like with a tele type pickguard and the classic tele knobs and 3-way switch. I bet it would be even more awe inspiring. Well done anyway.

WOW!!! I have been following Johnny since Redd Volkaert got him the gig With the Don Kelly band in Nashville. I loved his custom Tele. I didn't care for the PRS; but coming to EBMM? I'm speechless (in a good way). I am looking forward to seeing and reading all of what the future holds for EBMM and JH.

i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate johnny on becoming the newest member of the ernie ball family !

And also to share the final track free fall on my cd which just happens to feature old johnny boy rhythm guitar
cody leppo drums , & jim lightman bass

this was recorded 2 years ago now & very rough as far as my
guitar playing goes..
But i thought it was worth sharing here on the forum .:d

youtube- john denner & johnny hiland jam

cool as!

 

[whitestrat]

THe jam will not be taped and there will be very few cameras and no cell phone videos either.

Oh damn... This means the rest of us don't get to see it.

It looks a little like my Autumn Redburst Silo in that pic...

That would be so cool if out of the supposed 4, Johnny Hiland and I both have one.

 

[darchirnoj]

Johnny Christ
John Denner
John Fogarty
Johnny Hiland
John Hopkins
John Myung
John Petrucci

That's a lot of Johns!

(Maybe if I change my name to John I can become an EB artist? Oh, wait, I need to learn how to play first)

And don't forget Jon Gonzalez

 

[robelinda2]

Dont forget John Mayer too!

That one is somewhere in Europe. Has a matching headstock but pickups were changed. Only one I haven't found is the other maple necked one with piezo.

A class act and a tremendous talent. BP I would have to agree that the artist playing EBMM axes would truly be the Yankees of the music world and from this New Yorkers view you kind of remind me of the Boss.lol

I don't think that the JM thing worked out in the end. Unless I misinterpreted BP's comments a few posts back.

 

[Big Poppa]

I havent said a word about John Mayer and the 25th He has a couple of black ones

Sorry BP... I deleted my post.

 

[Slav123]

My bad for misinterpreting the heart-throb big time artist comment, sorry BP! Back to the awesome news about Johnny Hiland!

That's terrific. A testament to the soundness (pun intended) of the guitar and the company. Well done BP and EBMM!

Love my silos. Everyday I look forward to finishing work to get home and play them.

Talking tech talk, I wonder what it is about the Silo that attracted him. I mean besides the looks, feel and tone.... I mean, what made him choose the Silo over the other models. I know his PRS has a bridge pickup that can twang like a Tele, given the proper right hand technique....

Just a guess on my part - the 24 frets. His PRS Sig was a 24-fret model. Also, if I'm remembering the JH neck correctly from when I tried one out years ago (right after they were released) the neck is fairly close to a Silo neck in terms of width and taper (based on my experiences with Silo Specials).

Looks, feel and tone... what else is there?

 

[telemike]

I wonder if Johnny will have some other Balls on Stage in addition to the Silo.. I would love to him twang an Albert too.......
