Here she is FOLKS!!!!!! I should have posted earlier, but I was way too busy playing the heck out of this baby! I recieved this from THE MAN himself Pete D, on tuesday (Thanks again for everything buddy). I do apologize for the pics, but I will try and take much better ones when I can. I also apologise for the fingerprints, but you can see I can not keep my hands off of this beauty. This is the BEST guitar I've ever played next to the 20th Silhouette. The millions of tones that comes out of this thing with the piezo and the HSS set up and trem is un-freakin-believable!

Roubster, that's excellent!!! :D

With my recent experience with Silo Specials, I want one with rosewood and piezo! Carbon Blue Pearl? It almost looks like Black Sapphire from some angles. Very cool! :D

I wish I could play mine half as well as you play yours. :eek:

Actually I am really diggin the PUPs on this baby. The bridge sounds great, and that one is staying for sure. The single coils do sound great for clean and very on clean, but also give a very nice clean distortion sound. However I have been thinking about checking out the Fast Track in the middle and neck. Vinnie Moore, Greg Howe and Andy Timmons use those, and they get an amazing tone from these. But I am not changing anything on this guitar for a while.

I know Pete. I have just been busy again and than the rest of the time I have only been playing. To be honest, I have MOSTLY been playing clean with the piezo and mixing with the mags. Just freakin brilliant. I will probably have to post some kind of video, but the next day I have off is next Thursday.

Oooh yeah.. nice one, Roubster! Love the sound of rosewood on SS's. If you make the middle pup change out please let us know how it works out for you.

That guitar kicks ass! What a combination. Are the silo trems screw in bars or pop in ?

Wooooooooow! Beatiful! :eek:

You know, if I'm going to get a Silo Special (I'm in a dillema), I'm gonna have a hard time deciding whether I want a modern looking one like that or something more vintage looking with a maple board and sunburst or something like that.

EBMM is all about the future! Modern all the way.
Every other company has some kind of vintage or retro stylings. They're a dime a dozen (well maybe a little more). Who else has anything close to CBP, Sapphire Black, etc.....
Typical black, white, sunburst and red.... not for me thanks!

Who else has martini olive green? :D;)

Looks great. I'd even go as far as to say that I like the SS better than the 20th!

By the way fogman, the vintage sunburst looks friggin cool as hell. ;)
