You done good, son. Hell of a deal.

Also, get that switchtip and those knobs changed out to the cream ones. It will look nicer. :)

Really?
So that means the darker the colour, the darker the sound?! :rolleyes:

Yeah Foggy, changing black plastic knobs to for example metal chrome knobs will really brighten up the sound of the guitar when exposed to light :D:D:D

*ROFL*

I love this place ;) goooooood fun !

Exactly Foggy, you got it ! :D

...but the moonstone pickguard on my pearl purple Silo Spec adds even more dimension to the tone than NorM's abalone knobs :eek: :cool:
In fact, all the pearl finishes on Silo bodies make these guitars produce even pearlier tones, while the metallic finishes add an extra amount of edge and "cut-thru" capabilities...

:D :D :D

...sorry guys, but I'm not far from "P"-ing my pants right now... drop dead laughing... :D

That makes a lot of sense actually. It is said that moonstone carries certain mytical properties.

Read here:

Moonstone crystal ­ what are the properties of moonstone?

Now I just have to tell my wife a need a guitar with a moonstone guard. It's only for my holistic health. It's really not about the guitar!!!

Jeeez!
I just read that AND NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY I just cannot keep my hands off the pearl purple and "moonstoned" Silo Spec !!!
I feel better and better the more I use and abuse her :D
...yes, me too I get MOONSTONED in the process ;)

Drifting off into a thread about the esoteric effects our fiddles have on us...

...these effects show off violently in this forum... :D

Go tell your better half (Mrs. "I am a guitar forum" Fogman:D) about the moonstone. She WILL understand ! :cool:

I had bought her some moonstone jewelry a while back. Then I had told her about the stone's inherent properties.
I think I'll have to remind her. ;)
