Silo 20th Wisconsin hunt

[marshalldsl98]

Hey, just registered onto the forums and thought i would kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

I've been looking for a Silo 20th as of late, I live near Marc's guitar in Wausau Wisconsin. To my dismay, about a month ago I decided i wanted to pick one up and went to Marc's to place an order. He called EB and gave me the news that they were out of production.

Ive been looking around on the forum and it seems that you all are very helpful in tracking them down. I would greatly appreciate any replies regarding the whereabouts of a few of them.

Thanks !

arghh, tempting. The only things stopping me is the non matching headstock and rosewood fretboard.

I may end up settling on these things in the end as I want one of these really bad, but if i can find one with a maple fretboard and matching headstock, no one will get in my way of having it lol.

Marshall, try emailing or calling customer service to see if they can assist you in locating one.

They are out there, you just might not get to play it before you buy it.

Good luck, Glenn |B)

Hi Marshall,

There are still a few 20th's out there. You could try Pete DuBaldo, I think he may have one or two/three/four/five/six hidden away

Alternatively, like Glenn says, give CS a call, they may be able to point you in the direction of a dealer that has one.

Good luck with your search.

Hey Marshall, welcome, stick around and enjoy yourself. You understand don't you that at this point beggars can't be choosy...

It's funny what's a show stopper for one is another's dream guitar. Unless there's no way around it, i.e limited edition guitars, I want all of mine with a rosewood fretboard and natural headstock.

Good luck on your search, there are a few out there yet and I'm sure that a couple will pop up every now and then, but I think that people are beginning to realize just how special these 20th's are and it's going to be tougher to find one.

Wild West Guitars have got a 20th, Maple board, matching headstock, non-trem.

Might be what you're after?

Pete DuBaldo is the right man for this...

Why? Can't WWG sell theirs?

Do we have to play dealer favorites all the time? Seems to me the more dealers there are that have success at selling EBMMs, the better off the company is. I love Pete and all, but let's let not steer people away from other dealers - especially when they have in stock right now precisely what someone is looking for.

 

[marshalldsl98]

I agree that having lots of dealers contribute is fine, and the silo they have
at wild west guitars is exactly what i am looking for. But it is relatively pricey,
and pete has used inventory, which as i am on a college budget is important.

Thanks for all the direction so far everyone, seems like this forum has a great community.
