PUPs on the Silos?

[paranoid70]

Does EBMM ever make Silhouettes with a H H configuration? I know the standard HSH config is pretty cool... but my previous Ibanez had that arrangement, and I just thought it was too "busy". It seemed that the pickups were always in the way when I was picking the strings.

So, I was curious if the Silos ever come in a H H config. Or is that model just called the John Petrucci?

It's called the 20th Anniversary

You need to improve your pick technique !

It is quite crammed on the Silo, the extra 2 frets doesn't help, but the picking thing shouldn't be a problem

20th Silo works quite wonderfully!

I need to improve alot of things.

 

[paranoid70]

Yeah, the 20th is an awesome instrument. I was wondering if the standard Silo was ever done up that way as well.

I just lower the middle pickup to the pickguard -

Both of my Silos are HSS.

I am in the LBC too. Where do you hang out?

Usually at home. I sent you a PM... we should try to jam sometime.

You could get a Sub... Honestly the Sub 1 is lacking nothing but cosmetics and those extra two frets. Amazing instrument really, sad that guitars made in sweatshops sometimes go for more on ebay (and even new )

Some folks just don't know what they are missing I guess

Check the sig.

I do like the SUB1 - it's an H H too. I just got it two weeks ago. I was actually playing the SUB1 quite alot since I traded it for my old Ibanez. However, I do have to admit that it gets a bit uncomfortable after a while. I LOVE the contours on the Silo Spec where your right wrist accesses the body. The SUB1 unfortunately doesn't have the same contours on the body.

yes older silos had an option to choose your pup config (HSH, SSH, HH and SSS) I think. Then other models came out (silo special) and they stopped doing that

 

[threeminutesboy]

get a second hand silo HSH change the pickguard to a HH only and change the pickup selector and you are there

 

[paranoid70]

I guess one could always do that. I am not planning on buying any more guitars this year anyway. I was just wondering as I have seen some Silos in different configurations, but never as a H H.

I guess Philip is probably right. The Silos I had seen on 'net with different pickups are probably older models.

If you are crazy you could contour the Sub (I mean crazy brave). I've thought this might be cool, but warranty would be gone and that textured finish seems like it would be hard to duplicate

 

[paranoid70]

I am sure the warranty is gone anyway as I am not the original owner.

You know there was a guy here on the forum who had a Morse guitar and was planning to do something like that. I wonder if he ever pulled it off?

I certainly wouldn't trust myself taking a saw to a guitar. I would probably end up with one of these:

Buy a new scratchplate and drop the pickups in to make it HH.
