NGD - 20th Anniversary Silo

[daneford]

Cue the Barry White "Ahhhh Yeah".

I had no idea when I started looking for another Silo that I would end up picking up two in as many weeks. I almost feel a little guilty. Almost.

The top on this one is very unusual. Hard to capture effectively in pictures. The neck on this feels awesome. Just the slightest smattering of birdseye. Even better, it sounds fantastic. I'm looking forward to logging more time on it.

My thanks to Glenn.

Is this the one Glenn sold?
I often looked at it in the FS-Thread but never realized it is so cute. The top is great. What do we call this? quilt? flamed? spalted?
The only thing that holds me back from a 20th are the 24 frets

Anyways Conratulations to this beauty.

It is a stunning guitar. Well done!

Dane, enjoy man, the top always reminded me of a boat wake.

Someone is sitting in your guitar and is staring out of the bridge pup

This is Glenn's 20th. No idea what to call the top. Maybe quilt-ish?

Glenn's "boat wake" description definitely works.

I've had a few days to become acquainted with it. The neck is phenomenal. Somehow it feels even more smooth/comfortable than all the other silos I've played. Overall, BP and crew outdid themselves.

Only thing left to do is throw a push/pull coil tap in and call it a day. Well, that and start taking bets on what the next gas attack will result in.

That "boat wake" is a REALLY unique top - definitely a keeper!

That figuring is called "angel step" for whatever reason. Its quite possibly one of the nicest you can get. Love that case too!

Even if I wasn't prone to gear hoarding, I suspect I'd hang on to this one. I love me some purty guitars.

Never heard of "angel step" before. Thanks for the info!
