I've been remiss in my forum duties by not posting pics of the old Silo I sent back to EBMM for some TLC. John repaced the string locks that were missing and hand cut a new nut to replace the broken one (Wow!). A good buffing removed some of the surface nasties. After a John set-up and fret-leveling this oldster plays like a freakin' dream.

I forgot all about that one, they did a great job didn't they?


I should have posted pics sooner, I got it back at the beginning of the year and yes, John did an amazing job.

Ernie, is there a web where I can see all your guitars? (I'm sure that'd take a long time to load :D)

Glen, I think I misled you, I just received a Teal Pearl 7-stringer, nothing sparkly.
I posted a pic in another thread. Sorry:(

Who is this John person you keep talking about?

That´s the guy who is allowed to do the service on the really important guitars:p
You could possibly learn something from him:D

Great job on Nr10
