Very nice! Diggin the '94. 1 of the 2 made for Joe Walsh?
Yep. DJ turned me on to it. Wonderful guitar. I had some plates made for an SSS and HSH setup, but these Barden “Danny Gatton” pickups are excellent. The lack of a metal plate for the bridge pickup to sit on tones down the Tele vibe a little...but it’s there all the same and really does sound excellent. Unique to the guitar.
The Special is just that. Took out the Silent circuit and put in Areas and a Tyler Secret humbucker. Standard Strat switch and setup. I love that guitar.

That's awesome! Those Barden pups are special.

I've been on a Tele kick lately. Recently sold my '91 that I was converting to a Tele-style setup but G.A.S got the best of me...off it went. I told myself I'd never part ways with her but im sure you know how that goes. Enjoy my friend!

I know exactly how that goes. My longtime goto ‘57 AVRI Strat sat in its case for years after I bought the Silo Special. I sold it to a dad who gave it to his son as a graduation present. Son was elated. Sent me a video of himself playing it. Very cool.

I’d love a nice Tele. Heard someone playing one through a Whammy pedal. Blew me away.

Once you hold an EBMM in your hands, we're all done for haha. Will always have one or more in the stable.

I love hearing stories like that... There's something satisfying knowing the guitfiddle you once cherished, gets in the right hands and continues to inspire.

I love the compact body/neck/headstock designs of the EBMM guitars.

Yeah...I'm not one for mothballing things that could be seriously enjoyed.

Curious: how did you know the Silo was one of the two builds for Walsh? My past post...? Reverb?
