Say "Hi" to my latest addition to the EB/MM stable - a shiney new Silhouette Special followed me home a couple days ago, and she's a sweet playing and sounding axe!

It's funny how they follow you home like that.

Jimi you magnificent bastard. (a term of endearment). By my count this ties us up at eight each. Good thing this is just an exhibition and not a competition otherwise there might be wagering involved. Welcome to the dark world of silos. Hopefully you now have new #1 gig and jam axes I still have yet to unveil my two axisessessess axi axiss guitars. I'll try for that this weekend. How about a group shot?

It is strange, isn't it? and my wife can be so incredulous when I try to explain it to her...

I sat down and intonated and set up the guitar the way I like it yesterday, and I'm having a blast playing it... I really love the contoured bodies on these Silhouettes, and the pickups are sweet, but I still prefer the Axis neck carve (slightly)... As for taking a group shot, I've been thinking of that, but I want to wait until the summer when we actually have some decent natural light again...

Nice!

I've never actually played a Silhouette Special. I should probably avoid doing so, as then I'll have to explain to my wife why I need ANOTHER guitar.

Jimi very nice. You like the humbucker instead of the single coil? I was always a Fender Strat man until I put my hands on a Silhouette Special. I was right after they had come out and I thought "Oh man this thing blows a Strat out of the water". But I didn't have the dough at the time and I'm not a very good player, but I try and I guess that's all that counts. Well I then I was surfing Ebay one day at lunch and what should I run across, but the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen!!! I thought I had died and gone to heaven. That instrument was the "A one-of-a-kind Silhouette Special, built for NAMM 2002" in Fuschia Sparkle with maple neck, three single coil pickup configuration, 5-way pickup selector switch, standard "strings-thru-the-body " bridge, white pickguard, volume and tone controls. Comes with SKB hard-shell case." it was and still is my dream guitar. I'll snap a few digital pictures sometime soon. If you want to hear the story of how I landed this baby let me know, you see I lost it in the last 20 seconds!!

My Silouette causes me more problems than I can handle. Not because it has flaws, but because it sits there and begs me to play it. I will be working (I work at home) and it will just sit there taunting me, telling me it knows that I would rather be playing it. Very disruptive.

I hope that you enjoy yours as much I enjoy mine!
