Look at this thread!!!!

Wow. Time to attempt getting back on track.

I'm sure whatever Big Poppa has up his sleeve for the 25th Silo will be super cool. At this point we can only hope the gamechanger gets out of lawyer limbo and sees the light of day by the time this rolls around. I think it would be a great place to debut it.

Other than that, I say Koa (as I mentioned before), or use the same materials as the HH AL but give it a sick maple top and rear loaded electronics like on the 20th.

Would love to dial in a pile of HSH combinations via a Game Changer.

Could do away with the 5-way switch, use a 3-way toggle (located JP style ?) and have the GC presets define what the switch does.

add a nice blueburst finish (like Gretchen silhouette) and this is it

i think it's Silver Anniversary so therefore all chrome!!!!

Sillhouette's always bring out the weirdo's.

Hey I was out for a while but now I'm back. Thank you for thinking of me though.

A 25th SiLO would be great!

This thread....
well....

Moving on.

25th Silo should (in my opinion).........

Slightly Larger/Wider Body
Alder/Swamp Ash/Mahogany body with 5 A Flame Maple top in a "Charcoal" Burst
All Rosewood Neck with a Flame Maple Fretboard (how cool would that look!)
24 Dunlop 6100 Frets
5 Bolt Machine Screw Neck Mounting
Neck Plate flush with body
2 Point Trem
Larger brass block
No Back trem plate
No Screw holes for back trem plate
Custom Wound Direct Mounted Dimarzios HSH
5 way Mega Switch
Tremol-No
Raw Vintage Tremolo Springs
Graphtech Saddles
Graphite/Intonation Nut
Schaller Locking Tuners with Black Pearl Buttons
1 500K Volume
1 Tone with No Load Control
.22 Tone Cap
Treble Bleed Mod
25th inlay on the 12th fret and head stock
Radius/Scale Length and other specs same as normal Silos
EB RPS 10s

Just some ideas off the top of my head.

 

[walleye]

not sure flamed maple is feasible for fretboard material
isnt it meant to be weak?

 

[Dizzy]

BP, I hope your ideas include :

* Sealed / Painted Mahog Neck (ala BFR JP)
* African Mahog Body (ala HH AL)
* Ebony Board
* Original Silo Contours / bevels.
* Super Sucky Maple top, maybe with veneer like Cherry Burst ?
* Some chambering.
* Special Inlays.
* HSH with Single Size 'buckers (i.e. Dimarzio Fast Track etc)
* 3-way toggle with game changer.
* No pick guard.
* One with my name on it !

Awesome idea mate !!
I'm with you, easily the best suggestion so far !

Are you guys giving suggestions to Willy Wonka for his new wanka bar or what?

No, I'm sure "Willy" knows all there is about "wanka bars".

 

[DaPatrooch]

Chambering would be nice and likely I think, hard to say what else that would make it different from the regular Silhouette and the 20th Anniversary. Either way, I'm extremely interested!
