Twin 20th Anniversary Silhouette guitars after 11 years

[PeteDuBaldo]

It's not every day that you see 2 of 13 next to one another (13 were made in the piezo/hardtail configuration), so I figured I'd share a couple of pics. The one with the tarnished pickups is my personal guitar and has hundreds of hours of play on it. The other one is virtually unplayed, in near perfect condition for comparison, and oddly enough it was originally sold by us back in 2006!

EDIT: Not sure why these photos are so huge, sorry!

Great story Pete. What is your plan with the "twin"?

Pretty pair, Pete!

I know where one of the other 13 (with a quilt top) in that configuration resides...

 

[Warg Master]

Nice! I still want one of those!

I'm not selling mine, the other one has already been sold.

Yep, that one has got some unique wiring!

**cough** for me it IS the best guitar ever. I love my 20th.

 

[Smellybum]

love your work sir, don't often say this to another man, but you have a beautiful pair of flamed balls.

I still think it's the best sounding.

Norm, my offer still stands, if you ever need to sell that Quilt.... well if you ever need to sell either of them.....

These guitars sound even better in Drop-D and low tunings.

It's hard for me to believe this was recorded nearly 6 years ago! It's also fun to look back and see how each person had a slightly different environment while recording their parts.


The final mix is here

Sounds good, Pete! Is the green guitar a SiloSpec, or Luke? I'm not accustomed to seeing either of them with piezo, as I wasn't around these parts when that option was still available.

That looks like the Dargie 1 Luke.

Thanks! That's my original martini olive green Dargie Delight Luke w/ piezo and Fernandes Sustainer.

Beautiful guitars I also have a 20'th anniversary Silo with the piezo and the tremolo option. Do you know how many of them that came with this option? I hear some say there were 13 made with hardtail and piezo, but I can't find a number of guitars with both piezo and tremolo...
