Second Ball in the house

[mantrarock]

Hi all

Recently I had the chance to be the owner of a 20th Aniversary Silo. I'd never tried one and had only heard how it was from BP and the rest of the knuckelheads. Last week I finally received it, so I officially have my seconds Ball

Man, the guitar plays and sounds excellent!! I can't wait to take her to a concert... And it looks amazing. Playability, tone or look, I don't even know how to rank them.

Thanks everybody at Music Man for making such fine instruments, I find them so inspiring and everybody else that got me into buying this guitar. The only problem is that I was thinking of getting an AL to complement my Axis and now it will have to wait for several months...

And to make it official, here are the pictures (lots of them to come). Sorry, they are all indoor and with flash but you can get a good sense of the finish and the top.

Enjoy!

"Look what the delivery guy brought"

Love the case

Wooooooow

From what I can see the top looks amazing! I love the rosewood neck instead of maple too....great choice!

Congrats!!

Wow Di you buy that used? That top looks familiar.

The funny part is that we priced the 20th wrong...this is every bit a BFR at a much lower price......It should have ben priced like a bfr...our bean counters were glad we didnt sell a boat load.

 

[mantrarock]

Yes sir, I bought that used. I'll asked the original owner if he belongs to the forum.

Being such as limited run makes the instrument even more special. I hope the BFRs make the bean counters happy again

Mantrarock, great looking 20th, they are something pretty special always glad I got mine too man.

Whenever I see a nice one like that, it makes me wonder why I only have one of these guitars. They are so good, and the price was so much less than that of a BFR, as Poppa said.

So glad Pete talked me into getting a 20th for my first MM.

 

[robelinda2]

man i have as for another 20th, do i need 2???

Yeah, you do!

Get the piezo and trem version, or a piezo and hardtail. Whatever, just get one with a piezo

Great guitar Mantarock, congratulations, it's a beauty.

 

[brentrocks]

that is a killer top dude!!!

 

[GWDavis28]

Mantrarock, I was eyeing that on the bay man, I agree with Brent that is a great top.

Thanks all of you. I'm so glad I didn't let this one pass by...

Now I need to start saving for the next one. Is this a disease?

Nice axe! Congrats!

That's interesting...

Is this a disease?

It sure is...

 

[JMB27]

Good score on the 20th - they mos' definitely rock-the-knot

 

[mantrarock]

Thanks to all of you guys! It certainly is a rocker.

Now I need a strap that suits it. I was thinking of EB inked straps but I can only find low res pics. Can someone post a good one of the different models.

Thanks
