Preferably a Silhouette. I know maybe it's a longshot since it's such an out-there combo, but it's something I've been tossing around.

Actually, any high resolution shots of sapphire black would be nice, it seems like a tough color to photo. Is it basically a black with some blue pearl?

It's an awesome colour! especially if you've seen it in person.
It's what I was about to buy before the Dargie came along.

Awesome finish! Im confused about saphire black and graphite pearl, by the name obviously the second one is a more "light" tone. But to me its hard to tell.

Im just thinking out loud for my next guitar colour, I wish I could say "Ruby burst" or "Bahama blue burst" :eek:

That top JP pic captures Sapphire Black pretty well. It's like a VERY dark gray with some sparkle, but depending on how the light hits it, it can look a lot lighter and/or have purple and blue overtones. I personally like it better than graphite pearl...

My Sapphire Black Silo is one of the best playing guitars I've ever owned...and it has a black pearl guard...I've been toying with calling CS and ordering a white ice guard to get some contrast going on it....but I kind of like the black pearl on the body finish. It's like a stealth bomber...

Excellent, thanks Foggy! I'm definitelly feeling like if I get a silo, it'll be sapphire black.

Thanks Pete!
I actually have that pic. I didn't realize it was his. :eek:

OC, I still want to better pics though! :p
Most of the Sapph. Black Silo pics I have a terrible. I only have a couple of decent ones but they don't do the colour or guitar justice. ;)
