Third Ball - Does That Mean I'm A Freak

[mcvinyl]

Well yes I finally did it I bought another one. Koogie is right it is an addiction. Got a Blue Burst Silo off ebay here in Aus.

t's one of the older ones with the molex connecter so now I'll get a new pickguard and set up a H S H config as well as the SSS that it has now.

BTW what are the closest pickups to the originals to get for the H S H?

Here's a quick pick from ebay of the baby. I'll take some better ones of it and my two others over the holidays and post them then.

Hey, I don't blame ya! if i had the $$$ i'd go out and buy another EVH tomorrow!!

That Silo is SwEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEt! You'll be wanting PAF Pros for your HSH config. Is that neck figured well. Is it really like the Morse Blue burst or jsut a trans blue? How is the Floyd holding up? The one on my 93 is just about worn out.

Norm,

Derek said that according to the serial number it is "11/92 Silhouette Blueburst HSS Tremelo"

Obviously it's been shanged to SSS. In fact the pups are Kinmans. The Kinman factory is about 15 minutes from my house and apparently Chris Kinman fitted them himself.

Neck isn't figured as much as my Axis. I'm going to try to spend some time taking good photographs of my guitars soon so I'll post some better images once they're ready.

As for the Floyd, it doesn't seem to be holding up to badly at all. The chrome is worn off a little on the low E due to having a sweaty hand rested on it I guess. I'm going to take it apart over the holidays and clean it up I think. It's blocked at the moment which suits me fine.

The saddels on your floyd are not the replaceable. Take care when cleaning them.
