THANK YOU!

My Silo Special is a dream to hold and is a truly stunning instrument. I sit here with it on the stand next to me, and some times I find myself just staring at it. The Blue Pearl is such an awesome color, and crikey does this thing play itself. The Middle position has also changed the way I PLAY the guitar. I started playing stuff I had never really played before, and it has changed me as an Artist all together. I attribute who I am as a Musician today to the inspiration I have received from this guitar!

I'm currently employed by a Music Man retailer here in San Diego(small time, not GC) and when this guitar came through the back door, I just had to have it! The problem is, it's not just this ball that I love, it's ALL of them that come through! When we shut the doors today, I plugged an au natural Axis into a Boogie Stiletto and opened her up. I was in heaven. Then I go home to my loving Silo and I'm in something above heaven. Thank you guys!

Now for the forum members: I have a fetish for the Morse. When i first joined, I was dead set on getting a Morse, but then the Silo Spec came in and just took me by suprise. Thing is that now I'm at the point where I have enough to get a new ball, and I'm really hankering for that Morse. Thing is that I can only really find a few pics of it. I really wanna see this thing in Blue Pearl with Abalone guard(to match my Silo Spec), but all I've seen is White, Black, Blueburst, and that single red one with tortoise guard. So please, someone tickle me with something interesting in the Morse Persuasion!

However, I wanted to post a shot of my own to show off this Silo Spec yet again. I never get tired of these glamour shots I took when I first got her:

You picked up the natural Axis and you didn't take it home!!!????





I thought you were going to say that you couldn't decide between 2 or 3 or more EBMM's as your next guitar......to which I'd have replied "welcome to the club".

:D

I did a hasty photoshop to see how it would look with the Abalone, and it looks like it'd be quite awesome. I really wanna see this guitar with this combo! Looks like I'll just have to order one!

Blue Pearl = super cool color

How much for the Natural Axis ??

This thing is SWEET. The farther you get from the guitar, the more depth pops out of the top. Under stage lights, this thing would be a beauty!

im loving the SILO!!

I really is a dream to play. I was always so sold on the Petrucci and Morse, and never payed much attention to the Silo, but then I played one. It's such a versatile guitar, and fully capable of rock and metal, as well as blues and everything in between. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least.
