Silhouette; should I buy?

[rampage]

A tiny guitar shop in a nearby town is closing down and is selling his guitars at very low prices.

He's got one 'new' (probably many years old but never bought) MusicMan left; a Silhouette in some sort of see-through white, tortoise pickguard, HSS, maple neck and a Floyd Rose.

I've got way too many guitars already, but this seems to be an incredible deal at 995 euro's (about 1200 dollars).

What do you guys think?

..okay, there's no such thing as too many guitars

BUY!!! If you don't like it, i'll buy it from you.

If the bills are paid and you have the cash, yes. Silos with floyds are awesome.

If it really is 'new old stock' then it's a really good price. Have you checked it out already? I would ask for a picture, but if it looks too good, I would probably go after it myself.. Just kidding, wouldn't do that of course!

a good deal on a MM is always a good deal....
(that's why we have so many....got great deals!)

I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, the store is only opened on Saturday..

This isn't a photo of the actual guitar but it looks like this:

VERY interesting! That'll be a rare guitar, probably part of that small run they did a few years ago of Silos with Floyds like back in the early days?

Easy got get a replacement pickguard. I recommend a pure white one in case the body is white -- reminds of a half-way Hendrix Strat.

Sweet based on the others research nice guitar, it is a Mary Kay Offer 800 Euros and go from there. If it was in the US I would offer 600.00-750.00 and hope I win, love that color

No, don't buy it. If it's been there for years as you guess, then there's a reason no one else bought it.
