Hey Everyone,

I'm proud to say, I now have two balls. I went in to see my buddy Mike McAvan at The 12th Fret, here in Toronto. They had this Silhouette Special hanging on the wall for a while but didn't pay a lot of attention to it cause I'm into the Axis shape, etc. I took it down to give it a go and wow did it play well. Mike new I was interested so he gave me the price and I couldn't resist.....bonus, it has a piezo. Let's just say I'm very glad I got this guitar.

New 2005 Silhouette Special, Graphite Pearl, Piezo Bridge.

Congrats!!!
I also talked to Mike about that exact guitar!
I thought about it, but prefer natural headstock, and was looking for an H-S-H combination.
Very nice!! Now play that sucker!

Ok...I've about had enough. Can we all just chip in 10 bucks each and get Foggy a stinkin' guitar already? Hasn't this gone on long enough? Heck...if it will help, I'll throw in 20! :rolleyes: ;)

+1.
I appreciate the sentiment, but since I've already turned down free guitars from a bunch of fine gents; Pete, Raz, Drunken Koogs....
It just wouldn't be right.
In my honour, feel free to name your first born or one of your EBMMs after me. :p

Now, let's not hijack this thread!

Man I looks that moonstone!!!! :eek:

Hey Lumberjack, did they still have the black Silo with black ice pickguard there?
How about the CBP SS with abalone?

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the comments. For those that asked and from the comments some of the guys have said it must be Moonstone. I wasn't sure myself. When I first saw it I thought the Moonstone looked good. But I didn't realize the plastic was still on it. When i took it off, there was a wow factor happenin'

Hey Foggy
I've known Mike for almost 9 years. He's a really cool guy. If this is the black silo you are taking about, they no longer have it. I believe he has one, exactly like it or very similar to it, on order.http://www.12fret.com/new/ernie_ball_music_man_silhouette_blk_pg.html

If this is the CBP Silhouette you are taking about then YES!!!!!they still had it as of about Wednesday. Do I finally see a EBMM in your future:D http://www.12

Talk to him if you are interested. He'll try his best to work with you on the price.

Take it easy,
Scott

Very, very nice looking guitar. I'm glad you got one with the piezo they add so much to the guitar.

I love the colour combination with the pickguard, but gotta agree with foogy on the h/stock.
Still, for the right price I'd have had it. - Damn right I would have.

I actually got a really good price from Grant a while back, but the guitar wasn't exactly what I wanted. Ha!
Soon enough! ;)
