What do you guys think about that Silo...

[Florian.k]

Hey guys:

http://www.ernieball.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3531&stc=1&d=1176404563

What do you think about this one?
Is the Sound much different about the vintage trem and this one?
Normaly I wanted a HSS combination.... Does a splittet HB in a Silo sound like a single coil?

Regards

Nice piece of ash. On the Silo Special, I can't tell the difference when splitting the bridge bucker and middle single from two single coils, in 2nd position. Can't speak for the neck bucker. Looks like this one has a non-stock bridge pickup. I don't do FR trems so can't help there.

looks like a dsonic on the bridge to me...

yap an Airnorton on neck.... I think its the JP setup

That's an older Silo, with a Shaller bridge. Those are the ones with the molex connectors I do believe. that make it so you can swap out pickguards.

No a trans finish guy, but whatever floats your boat man.

What does a Molex do? Split the pickups? Wouldnt make any sense with SSS larry? I dont know hehe

I likey a lot!!!

 

[robelinda2]

yep that finish rocks!

Both of my Silos have Molex connectors. Love those things.

Here is my molex connector on my Silo Special. Great idea. Makes removing pickguard a breeze. BTW EBs got some great soldering skills. Nice clean joints.

This does nothing with the pickups it is merely a disconnect tool. And a great one at that. It doesn't split or alter the pickups in anyway.

If you don't get it, I would!
Buy that beauty!

Glenn,

You might want to take a closer look at the photo - that is the EBMM Floyd Rose bridge from the early 1990s, not the old Schaller bridge from the 1980s.

Cool that these still have the molex connector even though there is only one factory configuration.

Not a Floyd and humbuckers guy, but someone needs to pick that one up!

Let me get this straight... all new Silhouettes will have this molex connector?

Let me get this straight... all new Silhouettes will have this molex connector?

Larry's was an '05 model and had it...
My '01 AL has it...

The '07 Silos and ALs at the store... well I'm not gonna start takin them apart


That Silo w/ Floyd is definitely a cool looking one, I wouldn't mind having one like that.
