+100,000,000,000,000.
Trem & Hardtail are both great.
But sometimes you need to inject some epic bar wank into a set and there is just nothing better...
I know it's easy to over do but get it right and BAM

See my post at #19 - I didn't realize it was a new one and not NOS. Another limited run?

I had a Silhouette in that exact configuration once. I traded it to a guy on this forum for my Gunsmoke Pearl Silo Special. It was a great guitar and played wonderfully, stayed in tune great and all that, but I just preferred a 22-fret hardtail instead.
I wouldn't mind a Silo Special with a thicker body and a Floyd in it though. But then again the Morse Y2D with a trem comes close for that.
Im primarily a hardtail player but I can appreciate a very good Floyd. I love the original Ibanez Edge stuff - smoooth action.

I have 3 silos with floyds (all recessed) and look several times a week on ebay, craigslist and the forums for silos with floyds for sale. (Can you spell obsessed? )
I also have a non-floyd silo, but it doesn't feel quite the same, I think it has to do with the string spacing - in my floyd equipped silos, the strings are a bit closer together than in the standard silo.
I looove those guitars.

Everything has a floyd on it now. Schecter, ESP/LTD, Hell even GIBSON are putting Floyds on their guitars now...
I think it would be brilliant for EBMM to put Floyds on a Silo and market them to the new wave of young shredders who will use nothing but a Floyd.
An American made guitar with the playability well above its price point. It could compete with some of the newer "high-end" Ibbys and Schecters as far as price goes, but still be made in the USA which the others most definitely are NOT.

Floating trems make no sense to me. Every time I have played one, they sound like a warped record. But hey! Being Mr Anti-trem, what would I know?!

I mean the actual original floyd design.
Some variations and developments of the original idea have come a fair way. (i.e edge / edge pro / schaller etc)
But yes, the original floyd is still the bridge of choice for the majority of manufacturers

Seriously, had a Silo with a Floyd been out 6 months ago it would now be my weapon of choice for those '80's moments a lot of us geezers get ourselves into. Sadly, these things are only out in Japan (and the Yen is on a high). However, I simply don't understand why MusicMan doesn't have a Floyded 24-fretter out there and I really hope that this is a sign of an imminent re-introduction of the Floyded Silo.
