...according to UPS. This is the first brand new guitar that I have purchased in many years. But, Sweetwater has 24 months with 0% interest, so I just had to. I've been wanting some single coil tones for a while. I hope I can sleep tonight...lol

It's basic black, maple, HSS. I'll post pics tomorrow as soon as I unpack it. I hope it's here early and I don't have to wait all day...lol

Sorry for the delay, Gentlemen. Yesterday was really busy. When I finally got to sit and play my beautiful, new EBMM I became so entranced that it was 1am before I knew it. Lol. The neck is incredible, the tone is stellar and it has a simple, classic beauty that I love. What probably impresses me the most, is that I didn't have to tweak the truss rod or adjust the string height at all-it suited me out of the box and the intonation is spot on. I usually spend an hour or so setting up a guitar when I first get it. How great is that?
I'll admit that I am a little shocked by the cost of new USA made guitars, but the Silhouette Special is a great value and is a standout at this price point. Other similar guitars by much larger manufacturers honestly come up short by comparison, in my opinion. I really believe that you would have to spend much more to get a guitar of this quality, style and sound anywhere else-if they even exist. Hats off to Big Poppa and the EBMM crew. I'm already planning for what's next...lol. Al HH? Hmmmm...

It's just so cool to open a case and get that new guitar smell and see all the case candy:D
