You little ripper !

OMG. I gotta prepare for this as well. The 20th escaped from me, but I wont let it happen this time.

Great thread!

Thanks for bringing it up Dizz...

Great thread!

don't give up on scoring a 20th... there are some floating around. I thought i had missed the boat and was able to pick one up on here not too long ago... when they do pop up you've gotta jump on it. There's a used one at the Nashville GC if you go to their website and look under used... if you're looking to buy one...

25th silo = BFR Silo.

It's time.

 

[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
* 3-way toggle with game changer.
* No pick guard.
* One with my name on it !

i'm seeing a rosewood neck silo...

but honestly i've never seen anything leave the factory that wasn't killer... so i'm throwing out anything... i kind of like the surprise of it all

 

[robelinda2]

Dizz I have to say i'm right with you on almost all those options, especially the painted neck and african mahog body.

Holy crap, this was my 9000th post! What a loser.

25th Silhouette?? The torture never stops...

just when you think all the BFRs and HH ALs were torture enough... there's always another anniversary...

Sealed / Painted Mahog Neck (ala BFR JP)

Thats a BAd Dizzy! Bad Dizzy!

Natural unfinished neck please!!!! Ala Luke neck

 

[Stratty316]

maybe the 25th Anny Silhouette can be a Silo Spec...

How about a 22 fret Silo with no pickguard and figured top? Perhaps chambering and scraped binding?

A 22 fret tribute to the 25th Anniversary of the 24 fret Silhouette ?? That's just plain ridiculous !

So are Left handed guitars and men who dress up in women's clothes and insist on taking pictures of their crotch and then posting them on web forums... but hey, stranger things have happened... hahaha, right Dizzy?

I would do some terrible things to finance that guitar.

My Dream EBMM is a Silhouette Special with a SMY2D pickup setup, carved maple top, basswood body, maple neck, ebony board, and a TOM with a string-thru-body.
