The AL is not the only EBMM for country!

[emanon]

I've been twangin' the hell out of my sss Silo Special. I'm the lead guitarist in a top 40/original country band and my Silo is my main ax. It has the piezo so that is nice too. I play a few drop d songs on my partsocaster Tele and few slide songs on my Gretsch Pro Jet but the Silo sees most of the action. I'm not sure if it is the base plate on the bridge pickup that adds so much to the sound but this thing can twang with the best of them. It is very versatile as I can get all of my Strat tones in combination with that hot and ballsy bridge pickup. Being a former AL owner and MM90 ASS owner I can say that the Silo Special is as good of a country guitar as there is in the EBMM guitar family.

100% agree! I tooo use my SSS piezo Silo Special for my band work, its amazing. The country tones I get with it are sometimes preferrable to the SSS AL.

Yeah, but the AL looks cooler

Sorry for the serious post; I wax philosophical in early morning.

Imo, above all else, Silo Specials (SSS and HSS) are players, right out of the box.

Looking forward to seeing one of your AL's in action as well!!!! Which is your favorite?

Does anyone use an Axis S.S. for country? I can get some pretty bitch'n country tones.

 

[robelinda2]

Axis SS MM90 is great for country!

 

[fogman]

I don't know if this quite qualifies as country, but I love listening to this guy and his beautful Axis.

yep that great Chet style twangin!

 

[HeatherAnnePeel]

With it's Strat-like chimes at lower volumes, an Axis is perfect for Country.

Word.

Mine was fantastic when I had it but I wasn't in a country band at the time.

 

[HeatherAnnePeel]

Heck, I use my Ampeg Dan Armstrongs for Country, so why not an Axis?!

 

[Spudmurphy]

Similarly the AL is not just a country guitar- it can cover all bases.

 

[robelinda2]

Spud can the AL get you to 3rd base? or just 2nd. What a chick magnet it is.
