Music Man Silhouette question!!

[musicman20]

this guitar is great, very playable, liked the feel of it, and will probably buy one in the near future. but i was thinking it would be nice if i could make some changes to it. so my question is.

if you order Music Man Silhouette can you order one with floyd rose?? and/or without middle single coil pickup?? are there any other changes that can be made or only what they offer.

even if you can ill buy one

thanks

You cant do either I am afraid but it would be very easy to buy a HH pickguard and mod it that way with a 3 way switch or whatever.

I didnt really want a middle pickup ether when i bought mine but the range of tones that it gives is great. position 2 and 4 are incredible for cleans and strat sounds. I couldnt do without it now!!!

You cant do anything about the floyd but i will say this , when the vintage trem is set up to float it can do alot of what a floyd can do and will be rock solid tuning wise. I have mine set up floating and its fantastic, very smooth very stable with none of the floyd draw backs.

If you do buy one , you wont be disapointed.
Good luck

The trem is great, I think you would really love it.

I prefer the Silhouettes myself, but if you want a stock MM guitar with HH and Floyd, you should try the Axis.

You could look for an older Silhouette. I've seen them in the F/S section here with a floyd and HH configuration. If you want the HH, because middle pickups are in the way of your picking (that's how I am), the pickup can be lowered all the way down to the pickguard.

The Vintage Trem is awesome! I couldnt live without it on my 20th Silo and Silo Special.

i was looking at axis too but im drawn more to Silhouette.

if it was an option to have only HH it would be good but with that S in the middle i cancertainly live with it, and like Jack FFR1846 said i can lower the pickup like i did on my ibanez (hey, and more sound options ).

mybe this is a stupid question but, does the tremolo arm stay in a position that you put it or it moves around, if you know what i mean?

 

[BobMac]

You can have it any way you want, either loose and swingy or stiff and ....not swingy very easy to adjust . there is a little screw on the block of the trem which you tighten to make it stay and loosen to make it swing
