Paging Jon Smith...You Rock Dude! (BD Silo pr0n!)

Very nice OC!

Thanks Pete, that's interesting.....sending it back is no problem. I would really love for my Honeyburst ASS to get a rosewood fretboard, i wonder if EB would let me buy a new maple neck w/rosewood board if i send the old one back? Better email customer service i think!

Rob, I don't think EBMM would change the actual make-up of your old guitar. If it left the factory with a maple board then they will only replace it with a maple board. I once asked to get a plain headstock swapped out for a painted one, no dice. I think OC got the upgrade to comp nut becaus that's the way EBMM makes all Silo necks now.

OC I actually put the block style axis saddles on my silo as well, they sound better and they are more comfy on the palm, Im not sure why MM doesnt use them as stock for their silos -

All's well that ends well- great looking Silo there.

You are 100% correct. Factory spec replacements only. They will not make a rosewood board for your maple necked piece...if you have a natty stock....you're not getting a matched one...so there you have it.

When i took delivery of it the fret sprout was something awful on this one originally, the neck had been satin poly'd too and the nut was improperly cut...when I took the strings off it actually fell out, the slot was a lil mangled and it had super dead frets on the egb strings from like 1-7 (with grooves actually dinged in on the 3rd and 4th) so essentially I got nothing out of those notes, not even sitar noise. It wasn't that resonant either and the action was like 1/4 high...when I dropped that saddles thats when i knew I had ish...so I got it fixed, and I'm glad I did because now it sounds ridiculously good and it plays like a champ.

BTW the Six Fingered Man (not Pete) and JP are brothers.
