Silhouette history?

[TheBassGuy]

I've searched the forums, but I can't find anything about how the Silhouette came along. I'm kinda curious what the idea behind creating this wonderfull instrument was, and who was involved with the design and testing? Does anyone has any insight on this? I would really love to know what was done and who made this awsome guitar.

PM me a good email address.
I've got some .pdfs for you.

I wouldn't mind seeing them posted again, if it's not too big. Always interesting to review the evolution.

Come on man!!

LoL!
.pdf doesn't work. I wish it did.

Most of the files are 4-5 pages long. A JPeg conversion would take a while.
I wouldn't be able to do it any time soon.

.pdf works fine for me...

cool though it looks like they were actually searching for something to complain about. sharp fret ends...Huh!! I've never seen an EBMM guitar or bass with that condition. Anemic looking necks.....!! Are they kidding?!?

 

[fogman]

I'm just going to post a wack of info/reviews.
It's all good. There are tidbits in each article.

I had to send the other files to Dizzy.
I could get the file size small enough to post.
I kept getting red X's.
