hey guys just curious if anyone knew what color this was. and also is the price good for a used silhouette.

Wrong link buddy...that's the email address hehe.

 

[Gio_Force_One]

its fixed

 

[Roubster]

That might be medallion gold...older discontinued color. Havent seen a lot of those around. I think that's a pretty good deal for a guitar that seems to be in excellent condition.

 

[Gio_Force_One]

it seems to be the only problem is so far is I have emailed the guy twice and he has not gotten back to me yet and its been over a 2 week period of time so im going to try 1 more time

I think that is a great price if it is as minty as he says. Sure looks clean.

 

[Gio_Force_One]

The guy just got back to me he said the guitar is from either 2009 or 2010 and it is a custom color called olive gold.
was olive gold a color EBMM offered?

That's medallion gold, not olive gold. Olive gold is much darker. MG was discontinued around 2008, at that time OG was introduced. OG was discontinued 1-2 years later. Great price!

I looked up olive gold and it didnt look like the color in the picture , so the guy is wrong on it being made in 2009 or 2010 then.
its not really a custom color like the guy had said, its a color you could order in at the time.
I may go check it out , I waiting to see if the Luke in tru gold will come out cause thats what i would really want , but if not i would like the silo special. Are the neckson them similiar to a y2d?

Are the neckson them similiar to a y2d?

Not really....Silo Special is thinner. More similar to the SUB you own...

That's the only way you can order a colour ... if they offer it

All MM guitars are built to order, so that's probably what he meant. Looks like it's in great shape and that's a great price.

Price is "ok". For about the same, you could pick up the vintage burst hardtail Silo that Pete DuBaldo has. It's listed as used only because I've played it so much. If you're looking in Boston, they're only a couple hours drive or an easy ship to avoid sales tax.

 

[Gio_Force_One]

yeah i saw that one but I don't really like 24 fret guitars too much though, but maybe i will take a trip and go try out. i'd rather get a guitar from him.

Gforce, for a Silo Special that looks like it's in excellent condition that's a great price. Hardtail to boot, snag it man!!!

I sold that exact same color silo with that same pickguard about 6 months ago on ebay. I sold in mint/new condition. Maybe he's the guy. Ask him. That color is pretty much gold. It has a hint of sparkle in it but not overpowering. pretty good price but i'd offer him 750

By the way, this is olive gold (my former Silo Special):
