Does the rosewood fretboard on the Silo Special come with 24 frets? I thought I saw it...

 

[Robotechnology]

No, it was a Silo. Both the Silo and the Silo Special are available both ways... maple or rosewood fingerboards.

There is also an "artifact" of the EBMM Guitar Builder for the Silo Special - when you "build" one with a rosewood board, it appears to "overlay" a 24-fret fingerboard. However, trust me (I used to have one that is now with another forum member while I sort out what I really need in a guitar ) it is a 22-fret neck. Click this link to see what the EBMM guitar builder "built" for a Silo Special, sss, trem, rosewood board:

Cool! I think I found a thread that I may be able to add value to!

<NorM stands up straight and clears throat>

The SiLO Special also has the "Silent Circut" for cancelling hum when the neck pickup only is engaged.

One more:

It seems to me, by all of the pics I've seen, that the bigger "horn" (the one eith the strap screw) is different on the Silo, as oposed to the SS. Is it me or what?

I would tend to agree.
