Hi :)

it's very hot here in france...juste the perfect time to get in the studio and work on news songs...

I loved the way pkuke played "led boots" in paris last year, so I decided to put it in my repertoire...

I'm not able to make it as much amazing as lucious and his cats but I 'm really having great times workin' on the song...

Hope you'll like it too ;)

Tristain,
Smoking playing man, loved the clip. I have a silhouette really similar to that one, and they'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands to get it someday ;) Thanks for sharing man!

Great job again!! After hearing you praise the Luke as the be all/end all guitar, why the sudden shift towards the Silo? To get out of Luke's shadow and form your own identity w/ a non-artist-associated guitar model? Was it the neck and lack of a v-shape on the Silo? Please tell us the details.
 
to be honnest, I did not think about being or not in the shadow of lucious...the luke is an incredible guitar, I have two, I love them both...

but when I had this silo in my hands...I felt in love..the neck, the sound...there's something maginc with it...!!!

but my luke's are still working...I did that for the french distributor...;)

:cool: And I thought the Silo was a non artist related guitar.....other than the silo and the Axis all the others are signatures! :cool:

The Luke is a great guitar that anyone can own without being in Lukes shadow! Its so versatile and flexible for all music styles, and I'm pretty sure that as with all the EBMM sig models, their users do not solely buy these models because of the artist they are related with....

The Silo has no Artist signature on the head stock.


I know the Luke is awesome---I own one---because of the shape, neck feel, and EMG's. Having Luke's name on it as co-designer and endorser is just a bonus. Tristan is hitting the big-time and the media can be quite harsh in labeling him as a Luke copy just because of the guitar he plays, he's endorsed by Luke on his website, Tristan praises Luke as a primary influence etc....(I DON'T consider Tristan as any of this because I've heard all his clips and I love his music on it's own.) The media can be/is a bit**, and is very ruthless. If they were to harp on this point for all of Tristan's career, I can see the pressure setting in to try something else.

That's why I posted the original statement. I was just wondering if the media, or any other pressure, was a factor to using the Silo as his now number one after saying that the Luke was "it." End of explanation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More questions for Tristan:

1. Can you describe the difference in necks between the Silo and Luke in your opinion?

2. Will you be changing pickups in the Silo, or are you satisfied?

3. Do you prefer the hum,single,single pickup configuration in any current/future guitar?

4. Is everything set up to the Luke's spec's on the Silo?

Thanks
