Look what was waiting for me when I got to the office!
Dargie and Dudley made me a proto. It is LIGHT! This is the lightest Mahog guitair Ive seen in years. They decided that I needed this. It is beautiful and really sounds great The burst is fantastic!

NoRM's co workers speed dialing 911 because he just passed out.

Well I just 911'ed Norm and he had this to say:

You see this? It's nice, and you can't have one!

He also said something about going to buy a Strat to play in Guitarmageddon tomorrow :( :eek:

VEEERY beutiful! Wonder how it sounds compared to the regular Silo.

BTW: What happens to the one-off's and the prototypes? Do they keep them at SLO, or do they sometimes get sold?

Most of them go to employees or artists or the archives, some to Ebay for the CLB.

We are still crazy about what we do and so we keep trying different things. This guitar sounds much better than the mahog w maple top that Kbaim and Norm played at the Biff Babys gig, The anniv sounds the best...it is really cool as it is the only guitar I know of that is made up of 3 tonewoods...alder mahog and maple.

here is another one the burst resolves to dark brown...it is a finished neck and we have no current plans to offer this but figured that you knuckleheads could use some monday eye candy.

Notice the key word "current."

SO there's always hope for you guys.....


:D

'though it's already Tuesday, that's still one great looking guitar!! Keep up the good work!

(and keep throwing these beauties on E-bay for the CLB-foundation... I would love to be able to say I actually bought a guitar for a good cause!)

<NorM raises hand to ask a question. Then he just puts it back down and shuts up.> I guess you qualify as an employee.

Is it tobias that does like six woods? Wait that's a bass not a guitar.

I did get to play them and that was a huge thrill. I didn't plug any of them in though. I know Dargin really wanted the mahogany back wood for the anniv silo. I think the absolute tone strip is a beautiful compromise. I like the burst on the back of the neck and the smoothed out way it looks like a neck through. That one is really pretty.
