NGD - Buttercream goodness!!

[DrKev]

It's taken me over an hour to type this because I just cannot put down my new Buttercream 2005 LE Silhouette Special.

THE TONE! Wow! I really can't say if my hands are having more fun than my eyes but my ears are having the most fun!

With all the most special thanks to the Slav123 for deciding this guitar needed a new home. He is a most stand up of stand up guys and a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks also to my French knucklehead crew their words of wisdom on shipping and customs, and to browndog for the many "is it Thursday yet?"s.

Edit: Pictures added to page 2 of this thread, HERE!

wow Kev Congrats my friend!

it was a long way for you to get your Silo I'm very happy you got this beauty waiting for the pics now though we all know how this guitar looks like

Buttercream ... nice! I love that colour. Nice work Kev.

 

[DrKev]

I forgot just how difficult that colour is to photograph. Most of what you'll see posted already on the forums looks close to white or vintage white. The reality is it's darker and with an obvious yellow tint. It really is very close to the colour of butter!

 

[browndog]

Thats great Kev. Right on time too.

It will be nice to see some better pics than the ones we’ve seen on Slav’s hideous sofa.

 

[Danserrano]

Grats keV. Glad she made it safely to ya!

Congratulations Kev !

Maintenant il faut s'organiser un apéro pour que tu nous montres ton bijou ...

Nice Kev, at last you got one! Is this your first MM?

 

[DrKev]

Oui François, trés bonne idée! Once I get the St. Patrick's week gigs out the way I'll have a little time! Yes, Luc, after a long time of wanting and waiting and life getting in the way of plans, I finally have my first ball.

I think you almost beat foggy on getting your 1st ball

 

[DrKev]

Not in number of forum posts, I think! He'll have that record for a long time.

Just for you Jeff!

Hey! my EBMM Photo Album pics are not working/visible! Is there a forum issue with the Photo Album Profile Page?

 

[DrKev]

Our wonderful Aziah reliably informs me that the guitar left the factory on June 23, 2005 and was shipped to Shelbyville Record Shop. Oddly enough, June 23, is the anniversary of the battle of Springfield (1780). Fans of the Simpsons will note the coincidence...!

 

[Headstock]

Congrats! Love that color.

 

[DrKev]

Here are some shots. The lighting was difficult but I tried to catch the full buttercream colour. Particularly close in the shot of the neck plate, I think. Getting the tort pickguard to not look black is difficult, though this one is quite dark. I may try and find a lighter coloured one one of these days. Anyhoo, enjoy the pics. The album is here and I'll add more tomorrow sometime.

I am very, very happy with this guitar.
Slav, thanks again bro!
