Glenn - finally had a chance to fire the amp up and play the new Cutlass and the Silo Spec A/B (yes my Silo is a HSS). Preface by saying I pulled my full pedalboard out and was using a Mesa Electra-Dyne head through a 1x12 Mesa Royal Atlantic Cabinet.
The Cutlass single coils sound more traditional and glassy/clear than the Silo's do. Both are awesome but different. The bridge pickup on the Cutlass sounds a little thinner than the Silo's does and balances in volume and tone really really well with the singles. There is no jump in output going to the bridge on the Cutlass.
Both are amazing - but there is nothing quite like that roasted neck and those stainless steel frets!!!
Hope this helps
Mike, wow that's great thanx for the inputs man!!!
