Does anyone have a picture they could share of the pickup routing and back side of a silo pick guard?

I'm considering getting a silo, but would like to do some pickup switching mods to it.

I'd like to see how much room is in the control cavity / pickup route.

Thanks!

Jim,

I don't have a Silo but I'm pretty sure they still have the universal (or swimming pool) route - at least that is what they had originally back in the days when you could get the Silo with either the h/s/h, s/s/h, s/s/s, or h/h configured pickguards (and you could buy extra pickguards to "swap out" at any time thanks to the molex connector to the output jack).

I really like the molex connector. One can get the pick guard assembly off without desoldering.

Looks roomy enough for what I plan to do. Since they already do coil splitting, I assume the humbuckers are four conductor wiring.

Thanks for the photos folks!

:)

Yes they are four conductor, but those pickups are not stock. They are Seymour Duncan Black Backs (just so there's no confusion).
