Questions about Silhoutte Special

[Fiesta Red]

Okay EBMM experts, here are a few questions about this guitar.

http://www.instrumentexchange.com/bid-form.asp?list_id=063716&pid=41&catid=131&scatid=496&status=1

What is the name of the color of this guitar? What years did they make this color? Is this color still available? Trying to approximate the age.

Thanks in advance!

Isn't that Loden Green?? I think, maybe Jon can correct me.

I also remember those early Silhouette Specials - based on the pictures that would be one of the earliest ones since it has the Wilkinson bridge and the Grover locking tuners.

Our local EBMM dealer got these in when they first came out - the one they had in the green was s/s/s and I remember a candy apple red one in the s/s/h. I believe the dealer called the color "British Racing Green" on the hang tag, but that was 11-12 years ago (circa 1993/94) - plus I don't know if that was EBMM's "offical" name for it.

Back then I thought the Sil Special was a really nice guitar - it only took me 11 or so years to come around to finally buying mine last year.
