Pics of the new to me Silo(sparkle)

[lenny]

Hey Gang,
Well here's some pics it all looks original to me and i bought it off the original owner (he sold because he has a morse coming) this is a maple board ,and it has been gigged so even though the board was unfinished it has a real slippery sheen to it ,it almost looks like it was treated ,also i didnt get a date of birth yet but he said he bought it 3 years or so ago very good shape just one little tiny scratch on the back ,real nice sparkle finish to her plays like a dream. also i didnt realize that they came with locking tuners?so now i will take the strings off and give it a Lonney cleaning and polish and a coat of wax,

I got it used they guy said it was around 3 years old but he only used it for the odd gig and mostly studio work,he just ordered a morse and decided to get rid of this one so i scooped it!i got the allen keys original hangtags and keys for the EB/MM hard shell case for a little under $900.00 Canadian so i got a great deal i think i love the way it plays fits me like a glove!

Have you thought about putting on a white pearloid pick guard, and maybe BLACK pups? That would definatly be my preference to complement the awesome Blue Dawn color. But yea, congrats on it, and it is freakin awesome looking.

Don't do it man!!! leave the white pups!!! and put a white pearloid pickguard












Sorry Roubster, that's my preference

 

[Roubster]

Allright, so maybe Cream? lol Actually I think it would look awesome with black humers and the middle single leave white, with that white pearloid. Anyway, just personal preferences here on the Blue Dawn. Me personally if I was still able to order a Blue Dawn Silo, I would go w/ rosewood board, natural headstock, tremolo, white pearloid pg, and than put in black humbuckers and also change the knobs to chrome domes . Just thought I would share, but I am not the one with the nice Blue Dawn am I.

hey lenny,

very cool axe, congratulations!!!!

Too bad you couldn't get a clear pickguard. That would look awesome.

 

[lenny]

yah but like my wife said if i put too flashy a pickguard it will take away from the sparkle effect.........and im inclined to agree with her ..............i like the idea of the clear pickguard though......and just to answer another question i like to keep them stock as much as possible if i were to want black pups i would buy one with black pups just because i hate messin with the electronics.......she is abeauty and ill just play her o original! hehehehehe how many out there own one like this? all white with the blue dawn? i havent seen alot of them

 

[Figjam]

I had a dream the other night that i owned that exact guitar (dont ask why).

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Gorgeous!

 

[kbaim]

Blue dawn. Stil my favorite color ever offered. You should see it on a Luke without a pickguard.

 

[lenny]

Gorgeous!

Thanx Pete
I'm kinda partial to her already

That very nice. Flashy picguards do not take away from the Blue Dawn finish. IMNSHO
