silhouette (HSH) vrs axis sport (HH)

[justbass]

hello. I just sold my axis sport. I'm trying out a parker fly guitar because I heard that they are even easier to play and that they are very versatile. But ultimtely, I would like to try out a silhouette. They have more tonal options than that of the axis or at least it appears that they do. They have more pick ups and a 5 way selecter. anyways, I was wondering traditionally, what is the difference between the two guitars--the axis and the silhouette (HSH in particular). Are the necks different? and yes, I know, play one. I plan to but I would like any info that you guys know of.

The silhouette wins for me by default because of having 24 frets, and some call the silhouette a "my guitar can do anything" guitar. I've heard some bad things about Parker in the quality department, but I can't say that personally.

GET A SILHOUETTE!!!!!

I've only played an Axis a couple of times, but I liked the neck. You would have not problems switching to the Silo. I believe the radius' are the same but the Axis has a little chunkier feel. More like a baseball bat.
The pups on the Silo are not as hot as the Axis (I think so anyways). But they are still very sweet. The 5 way switch will give you a tonne of tonal options.

I've also tried the Parkers and actually love the design. But the comfort of the overall guitar didn't compare to the EBMMs.

also... I believe that you could buy a Silo without ever trying it, and you won't be disappointed!

These guys are all right. The silo is a great guitar, and I've only played it a couple times. On principle I can tell you that the silo is better because it's a ball, and no matter how hard a fly tries, it'll never be a ball. Now I will resort to subliminal messaging...

I used the axis and supersport for years, then I got a silo and It became my main guitar, they are more comfortable to play and the neck is thinner and easier to navigate, at least in my opinion, I love both the the silo is my main guitar and I can get stratty tones as well as heavy tones out of it as well, waht more can you ask for, also the neck on these guitars kills the parker, there is no comparison -

Once I tried out a Parker. Once.
