Hi all! Thanks for the kind words and comments on yesterday's NYNGD #2014-1!
If you're not familiar or didn't stop by yesterday: For the past couple of years I've done a fun thing that most of you I think enjoyed, and I thought I would do it again this year. Every year, I am a slacker about keeping my Guitar Gallery up to date... So, as a fun holiday thing, let's launch a guitar in the Guitar Gallery each day leading up to New Years Eve! Standard caveat: In the past I've received PM's about my collection and whether I play all of these guitars. My answer is here!
Today's NGD is a Silhouette Special in the stunning Autumn Sparkle Burst finish!
The interesting thing for me about this guitar is that you'll note that all of the other Silo's in my collection (except for the Silo 20th) are old-school or reissue floating Floyd Rose Silo's. The floating Floyd has always been my bread and butter and the vintage trem never appealed to me. Then along came the Luke III (which, trust me, we will discuss before this year's NYNDG's is finished) and totally changed my POV. So this is the first "proper" Silhouette that I've owned with a vintage trem, and it's my first Silhouette Special! The Strat sounds on this guitar are outstanding, but then the bridge humbucker is there to remind you that balls-and-chunk are only a 5-way switch away!
I played this guitar on stage a few weeks ago but annoyingly didn't get a photo of it in action.
I'll be back tomorrow with another NYNGD: New Year's New Guitar Day!
Thanks for looking everyone!
