Hello

I have some musicman guitars in my arsenal (luke, petrucci, axis......, bfr)and I can say that the silo 20th are the best........I have 1 hardtail and 1 with vibrato, and they always kill me.

For me, the silo 20th are the best musicman never done, if you can have one, buy it fast!!!!!!!!!you won't regret that:)

Is there place for a battery on the 20th? Also, you'd have to file the ears of the pickups down to the DiMarzio triangular shape. If you really HAVE to change out the pickups, I'd suggest try the passive options first. I think I already asked you this: Have you tried the D-Activator X pickups yet?

A ring is always nice too though (along with a good wife). Definitely the most important purchase I ever made -- but no regrets at all.

I gigged my 20th hardtail at a Harley Davidson Biker Rally Bash last night. These guitars absolutely kill!!! Best tone ever hands down! YOU CANNOT GO WRONG with a 20th!

My 20th Silo has the PAF Pro in the neck and Evo 2 in the bridge. It absolutely shreds. I think that EMGs will not make this specific guitar come alive as it is meant to with good passive pickups. I liked the stock ones, but honestly I needed more crunch and shred. These pickups work very well for me and its still incredibly versatile. I find myself using the tone knob quite often actually do get a lot of different sounds.

Try Bareknuckles... I'm sure you won't be disappointed... HOT stuff, plus that nickel cover... he's made an amazing set of 7 string pups for me...

Bare Knuckle Pickups, North Devon, UK - Hand Wound Guitar Pickups

Plus, Tim Mills, used to, or still does, play for Iced Earth... That should give you an indication of his definition of HOT...:p
