Axel,

where did you find that trem arm? I'd love to get one.

 

[Mincer]

Cool, Mincer, who did the scallop job for ya?

Good question!
Doug Frye of Dmara Guitars- he did a wonderful job.

Axel,

where did you find that trem arm? I'd love to get one.

The link provided by GWDavis above shows pretty much what the trem arm looks like when unplugged, but mine is brushed stainless steel and came with the (ab-)used guitar.
It's not in there anymore as it lacked the original grove where the spring inside the trem holds it. I ordered an original white tipped EBMM replacement part.

 

[Axilla]

OK, I don't yet have many pics of this, so here's one alone, and one with me at a recent show.

Hey Mincer,

boy, as a fellow Silo conversion lover, I really dig what you did with that Silo Special - OK, maybe apart from the scaloping - but really tasty 2 HBs on a suberbly matched PG. NICE job !

Rob, that gold truss rod wheel is an elegant touch.

What size arm was it (in mm) if you can recall?

Cool thread!

Here's my pride and joy, soon to be in a happy relationship with a Luke! I call her Goldie.

I'm going to resist the usual double entendre, and just say: I think EBMM has had enormous courage to think and create outside the established solid body guitar box.

I can't help but to scratch my head when I read of the unending line of complaints from players of the best known names in the business, and yet never seriously consider looking beyond the same old same old design issues. Anyone here ever have to remove a MM neck to adjust a truss rod? Which string trees are you using? How do you solve sticky, skiddy, glossy neck problems? How do you deal with single coil hum problems? Oh, that's right... you don't have to.

[Axilla]

Me guesses me heavily gases for that same guitar as you just got, Scott !
I at least need one more SS in Dessert Gold with Black-Ice pg and one more in Lava Pearl with just the same PG... just that mine will have to be for the right handed though...
Yours just gets me gasing every single time I look at it... *drool*

*sigh*

 

[Oldtoe]

I think someone is enjoying their new SSS Silhouette Special that my wife and I got them for graduating high school early; but I guess we'll never know.
