I've seen a 2007 Silhouette Special that is ticking all the boxes for me in terms of woods and finish, but it's an SSS and I'd prefer a humbucker in the bridge position. Does anyone know if the Silhouette Specials are routed for HSH/HSS or do they exist with SSS routing?

Love the Silo Special, a 2007 will be routed SSS if that's what your looking at. I have an SSS and an HSS. The Silo (24 frets) is routed HSH and the really old ones like 90's I believe are routing as a swimming pool, so those can be whatever configuration you want them to be. And the pick guard assembly is connectorized, so you can swap them out so you can have one guitar with 3 or configurations.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

The Sunburst on Reverb? GET IT! Looks great!

I think 2007 may be routed HSS. Just ask the seller to take out a couple of screws and lift the pickguard enough to have a look.
