Older Silhouette pickup types?

[sniffles]

Have come across a second hand silhouette for sale, serial 88352. It has 3 single coil pickups but the seller doesn't know what type.

Can anyone date this guitar at all and maybe help me out on the pickup types?

Hey sniffles:

EBMM reps aren't always on the boards, but they do drop in often. (jongitarz, most specifically) He/they will be able to answer your question, but it may not be until Monday (though recently JG has hit here on the weekend, when he's not partying. )

Hang in there, brother...we'll get you squared!

Shoot me an email with the serial number on Monday, and I will check it out [email protected]

I'm not able to help much with the date (guestimate: maybe 1988?) but the pickups - if they're stock - will have to be either Schallers or Dimarzios, 'cause that's what EBMM put in their Silhouettes - Schallers were stock in earlier Sils up until some time in '88, and Dimarzios became standard equipment after that...

I will find out what p/ups they are after I check the DOB...Just got home from checking out Dudley's band...All guitars and basses were EB/MM and Dudley designed most of them....very cool

No joke Warg.....that's almost what I'll be getting in September tho it's gonna read like this:
Sapphire Black Silouette w/ black pearl guard, rosewoood board, trem and matching headstock. I might have an additional 2 HB guard made up so I can switch them out....

Jon if you see this, what's the model # on the Molex connector that you guys use on the silo guards? Thanks!

Awwwww man!! You don't have enough EBMM yet?

And to the first guy, nice guitar also!
