What's the story?

[Rossie]

Is this a custom made SS for Matchox 20? Or just a decal-ed/signed standard SS?

In the process of requesting for further info on the guitar, ie. serial # etc...

 

[robelinda2]

ive played that guitar! A guy near me was selling it on ebay about 2 years ago and i went and had a play. He said it was a Matchbox 20 competition prize. standard Silo special with decals.

What on earth is that ugly pickguard material? aged pearloid?

 

[robelinda2]

Yeah its just worn white pearloid, its about 7 years old. Plus theres signatures on it too.

 

[Rossie]

Ah! The thought of owning a Silo that Rob played!

Will report back in awhile

Rob, can you still remember how much it was going for?

That's the second EBMM that Matchbox 20 raffled off. Cool, I think?

Yeah the guy here wanted AUS $2500 for it, what a fool! In the end after being on ebay about 6 times he sold it for $1400 AUS to a guy in Europe, a few months later its back on ebay and sold to a guy in the USA.

It's now in Malaysia...
Buyer said he bought it in Australia, after a "charity bid" for the band...
Hmmm...

He's asking for roughly AUS$1,800... A little steep... I could get a new Silo for that price...

Forget it, get a new one!! The new ones are so good. If you can afford to buy new then do it. Its magical playing a brand new ball for the first time.
