Just wanted to say hey. I recently got the pawn shop deal of a lifetime. A great Sil/special that still had all the plastic on it.Brand new with case and all for $500. I'm pretty sure it still had the factory strings on it.Must say, the best playing guitar I have ever owned. Has made me start practicing more than I have in years.

I have noticed alot of people complain about the bridge humbucker not being hot enough. I found that if you raise the poles up about 2 rotations, it really compare favorably to some hotter pickups.

Also, I want put the peizio bridge on it. I e-mailed customer service and got no response. Anyone know how I can go about getting the bridge to put in?

I have browsed the forum for a week or so. Nice to see a bunch of players that really love there guitar. Peace out, Mike
 
i think peizo install is gonna require some routing. mainly another 1/4 jack to give you the stereo output.
 
Actually, I'm gonna have my tech do it. I actually am gonna have it run down the jack if possible. No way would I do any guitar work myself. I so don't trust myself. The guy that works on my guitars does work for some pretty famous guys so i'm not too worried.
