Thinking about getting another Silhouette and I'm thinking vintage sunburst, matching headstock and a white pearloid pickguard. The only thing I haven't really decided on is the fretboard. I can't seem to choose between maple or rosewood. Slightly leaning towards maple. :confused:
So if you got some pics, post 'em! Especially if they have the white pearloid pickguard. :D

Thanks in advance. :)

I like the combo mine came with. I've owned it for over two years and every time I take it out of the case I think, "That's an awesome looking guitar!"

When I was at Gakki Center, I saw a maple necked SSS Silo Spec in Vintage Sunburst. Damn, that was HOT! Alas, the Candy Red I got was a lot more appealing after playing both, so I got the red one...

Just curious are you talking Silhouette? Or Silhouette Special. Two different animals.

Just to let you know, when I was looking around for a Vintage Sunburst Silhouette, I couldn't find any with a matching headstock. Not that they aren't out there or that you can't get one, but *I* couldn't find any in stock.

I always special order my music mans. Just got a quote today, actually, and I was suprised to see the price went up(Then again, I guess every company did). It's only $100 less than a JP7 I was considering ordering. And sure, when special ordering you have to wait a few months but that's nothing compared to some companies out there. The short wait is well worth it.

You and me both! I'd love a new Silo with a floyd. If I could have it all, I'd like to have 7 string Silo with an OFR 7.

Can anyone post a picture of the silhouette Special like the last one fogman posted, but with a rosewood fingerboard?

Silo's really look great with transparent finishes, it's a shame there aren't more available on this model... I bet most of the existing colours in the MM catalogue would look great on them.

I vote tobacco burst, honey burst or pacific b'burst
