The subtle nuances I mentioned in my eerlier post....
He had the bridge pickup on his JH model to sound like a Tele bridge pickup. How dos the Silo's bridge pickup sound in comparison?

I had never heard of Hiland before this thread. Went to YouTube and checked him out - WOW. Interesting player and looks like an equally interesting person. Appears to have a nascent blues/rock side that he is developing, no better guitar than an EBMM for that! Look forward to seeing/hearing his development with EBMM.

Thank you to everyone at EBMM and to all on this forum... Johnny Hiland is very excited about the welcome and the NAMM show. We will be making the rounds at NAMM and look forward to hanging with the Fans. Johnny loves the fans and getting to know all of you. Sterling Ball Thank you for the great welcome, its couldnt get any better for Johnny. The Silo is an amazing guitar and Johnny wont put his down. He is ready to show the world what you can do with this great guitar. The Tones he is getting from this guitar are incredible and I can tell you from hearing them, Tele tone is not a problem, this guitar delivers that and much much more. From the incredible Birdseye figuring to the perfect finish, this guitar is all about tone and playability. Johnny wanted me to express his sincere gratitude to all of you and invite you to the OFFICIAL JOHNNY HILAND WEBSITE OFFICIAL JOHNNY HILAND SITE - NASHVILLE SUPER PICKER theres lot of pics and videos to watch...

There is a ridiculous amount of birdseye on my 20th Silhouette.
Both my Silos have got great birds eye maple necks.....my dad has two of them as well and one has birds eye maple, the other is a really old Silo with the 6 bolt neck joint and that is a plain maple neck with a rosewood board.
I thought all (newer/newish) Silo's had birds eye maple necks......is this not the case?
By the way - heard Johnny Hiland at Music Live when no one knew who the hell he was......he just turned up at a stand and just rocked - a great addition to the MM roster!

My wife's Silhouette doesn't have birdseye at all. Doesn't affect the playability or feel, though. Still a killer guitar.

As the EBMM lineup has expanded and the availability of birdseye maple has contracted they've been using the plain maple for the Silos and Silo Specials and saved the birdseye for the other models.
I've had 2 Silo Specials - a 2004 and a 2007 - both with plain maple necks, so I guess the switchover happened before November 2004 when my first Silo Special was produced. I suspect my 2010 will be plain as well. And I can guarantee there is no birdseye at all on my recently acquired Axis SS, just rosewood goodness
