That poor silhouette

[GWDavis28]

Look at what this guy did.

Yuck! There is nothing appealing about that paint job.

Hmmm....maybe a moderator can check on this, but for some reason it seems like I remember that particular shade and eagle graphic on commercially sold Silos a long while ago?

(then again, it coulda been a hallucination...I useta have those a long time ago too.... )

That's a late 80's Silho with factor finish.

I don't think it was an option when buying, I just think they did them as a prom.

I've only seen them in that Blue colour.

That particular guitar was a NAMM beasty in '88... That particular picture is a scan from Tony Bacon's The Ultimate Guitar Book (p. 79)... They were still using the old Schaller locking trem instead of a Floyd when this one was built. I like the clear platic pickguard.

Yes . We did that finish back in the late 80's.
I think we did a pink and yellow also to match the color coordinated string sets. Extra(blue),Super(pink) and regular(yellow).

Thanks

Derek

I think putting it on a blue background was a good touch as well.

Boo.
