Big Poppa has settled that one!

I love the middle position, it's not metal, but it is magic.

Dean,

Get one worth it, I fixed another of my F ups by picking one back up, I think you could get what you want out of it, I am not a shredder nor am I that great at any style, with the neck pup being fairly hot and the right settings you can go to town.

I play metal on my standard Silo. It's a killer lead guitar. Maybe not the best rhythm bridge pickup but it's lead tone is phenomenal. The 20th should be even better!

Man cannot live on shred alone.......


Seriously, the 20th Silo is a killer guitar. The stock pickups are incredible, I always wonder why folks change them out for after market ones. They really just fit the guitar both in looks and sound. You will not regret getting one!

I love mine. I'm the biggest fan of the Morse bridge, but there's just something about the 20th Silo bridge position- lots of girth.

I still baby this guitar like it was brand new! Don't do that for any of my others.

....(dargie hasnt sent me a 25th yet)

This quote makes me smile...having run my own business, I was initially surprised when I realized couldn't skim whatever I wanted, when I wanted it! Reality set in, and I realized that CUSTOMERS COME FIRST -- especially those that can pay!!

Still, it must be tough to tell your own Dad he can't have a 25th yet...hats off to the Ball family! :)

LOL...I love this place :)

Now this makes me laugh, BP without a 25th, get one too him pronto, needs a 25th, what he says about the 20th is true at least my dumb ass got one back, and a Gold Roller and a BFR ASS:D

here's a teaser of the actual 20th Dean is looking at. The birdseye is all over the neck.

I really wish I had gotten one while I could. I tried one at a store in New Jersey and loved the way it felt, looked, and sounded. Just a really cool and classy instrument. Every time I see a pic of one I get serious GAS haha. But I guess I shouldn't complain because my JP is perfect for me anyway. But my answer is YES.
