Well, now I've done it. Guitar Center had a used Silhouette and I accidentally bought it. It was owned by a salesman there who bought a Les Paul and seemed genuinely sad to see it go...Seemed -- He is a salesman, after all.
Anyway, he said it's a 1991. Hard tail. Single-single-humbucker. He replaced the stock humbucker with a PRS. Maple fingerboard.
After a quick check on Ebay, I think I did reasonably okay on price: $637 after tax.
Doesn't have the locking tuners or the wonderful satiny neck that my new Luke has, but I really prefer the Sil's passive p'ups to the Luke's EMGs. And the finish is gorgeous -- a Something Sunburst. Not sure what the "Something" is. Here's a photo:

So, what do you think? Was it a good purchase? I have a month to return it. My bank account dictates that I either return this one or sell the Luke...just can't afford to have both at the moment.
