Hi folks,

does anyone have a pic of a Silhouette (Special) in "lavender pearl" featuring a "black ice" pickguard ?
If not - could anyone with magic photoshop hands pimp a pic in that style ?

I'd be soooo happy !!!! :D

Thanks guys !

Axel

Hot damn, millifoo!

Your 'quick and dirty' is better than my best effort!

That lavender pearl looks gorgeous on the Silo Special. I'm not big on the black ice guard, though. (Sorry Axilla)

HOLY SHI(R)T !
That PG is Black Pearl instead of Black Ice, but I do get the idea. I ordered the black ice HSS guard at Mick's today and will hopefully receive it this week.

This is gonne be one unique honkin' Silo, I'd say :D

THANKS GUYS !!!

Doh! I wasn't paying enough attention. The Black Ice was a lot harder to do, and I think doesn't look quite as realistic as the first, which was just inversing the pickguard. For this one one I had to track down a good picture of a Bongo black ice pickguard, then remove the pickups and bass strings, and then fill in all the missing bits.

Here 'tis:

Sub1 - I'm starting now. Question: do you have a higher resolution image or either one? If so could you email it to me: millifoo at gmail dot com.

thanks!

Sub1 Zero, here ya go.

Gorgeous pic -- the extreme angle made this a bit trickier than a straight on shot. I'm a bit of artificial reflection would help the illusion, but it's 1:30am here and I have to hit the hay. :)
