Weird Silo I found, any info?

[Colin]

Out of curiousity, you still got any EB Wahs in stock? I'm about due for a replacement.

My last one walked out the door last week, depending if the wholesaler will talk to me (they've removed me from their website) I could get you one in?

Removed you from their website! I am beyond outraged!
For all intensive purposes you are the dealer they should cater to the most!
I'm trying so hard to repress my rage and prevent yet another tirade of aust-wholesaler based rants.

Cheers Colin. I'll drop you an email shortly..

+1

It should be acknowledged more often.
The man should get a cool hat or a cape or a golden staff or something... I'm serious.

yup ive had the pleasure of dealing with Colin for the first time recently, he had just what i needed

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Got the serial number: 93408.

See what we find out

 

[robelinda2]

Good work! Now we just have to wait 6 weeks while a Perth email gets the USA, or are you guys still using pigeons?

 

[marduke]

HAH! hilarious!

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Whats funny is that my old man actually did used to race pigeons as a kid Haha...

Nah.. It's all good. I traded a goat and three laying hens for a diesel genny... Modified the genny to run on canola oil which we grow. Use it to power my amps and effects. The noise scares the locals so they are pretty quick with my telegrams.

Hey my mate has one of those.

Dimarzio pickups, black and same string tree and trem. Weird!

From Dan:

"Good Dr .. the Silhouette in question is more than a few years old - it was built on 11/06/92. In those days, before the Special was introduced, you could order the Silhouette in a variety of configurations - HH, HSH, HSS and SSS and the pickguard assemblies were interchangeable (still are). So all looks right from this perspective. Is the finish color black?

Dan"

Wow.. Even older then i imagined.

 

[robelinda2]

Hah! 17 years old!! The shop said only a few years old.

 

[DrGonzo5150]

The seller responded:

"Hey, thats a big surprise. The owner we are selling it for told us it was only a couple of years old. To be honest it looks it, and we didn't bother checking up on it because we know the owner quite well. I'll be sure to let him know and update the description... Thanks again, and sorry for the confusion- I won't be taking anyone's word without checking from now on!"

Now that distraction is gone...
I guess i'll have to go back to day dreaming about the Triple H AL now

 

[Colin]

what about the string retainer?

 

[robelinda2]

what about the string retainer?

Yeah, there's been no explanation for that. We already knew the various pickup options for the silos back in the 90's, but the retainer cant possibly have been stock for that hardtail body.

 

[DrGonzo5150]

I still think it is an aftermarket modification.
