Hello everyone I have been a member but was unable to post until now, so I just wanted to say HI. I will more formally introduce my self in a different post.

I hope I don't get killed for these but I think that if you took some of the specs on the Eric Johnson and put them into a Silo Special. As far as vintage vibe that would be awsome.

I would also Like to see a Sal Carranza Model:

Siloute Special Body Mahogany with maple top(like the JPM prototype they had some picks of)
Rear Pick Up Routing
HSS and HSH Confugurations all direct mounted
Silo Special Neck With 12" Radius
Standard bridge options

I would like to see Johnny Hiland with one... seems like he endorses/has signature everything else. OOPs, just remembered, he has a PRS deal now... He seems more of an Axis kinda guy, though.

How about Dweezil Zappa?? saw him once with a sparkly Al I think.

+1 for Brad Paisley.

+2 for Zappa and Paisley!

BTW, anyone (besides me) played (and fell in love with) the Dr. Z Stang Ray? Designed for Brad with his input. Now, I'm not much of a country guy, but holy smokes! That amp just rules!

I'll add the +1 for Johnny Hiland as well as the Brad and Dweezil. Man can flat out play. ( although he does seem to have a lot of endorsements, but hey, a guys got to make a living)

Another vote for both Dweezil Zappa and Brad Paisley!
Not only does Dweezil have that beautiful Blue Sparkle Albert Lee, but several EBMM EVH's. I got a DVD with footage from Z's '93 tour of Europe and DZ was playing a Gold EVH for most of the shows.

Brad played an AL on the Mud on the Lens DVD for one song. Come on.... Give these guys a signature model. I'd buy one of both for sure!

Oh crap, I didnt know that! Suhr?!?!?! WTF is that? lol I think he should re-think that, hehehe. But anyway, everyone has a choice after all. Not EVERYONE can play EBMM in the world, and I like that, because the EBMM guitars are even more special to play (this sounds kind of familiar talk :D).

Ohhh yea, and I dont want to forget Tony MacAlpine!!! I could see him playing a 20th Silo with a floyd :).

John Suhr makes great guitars.......Lets not pick on someone who is doing it right in the USA. I have a lot of respect for him

Great attitude as always BP.

The only other guitar brand I have considered buying since getting my first EBMM is Suhr.

John makes a decent amp too - I have a Custom Audio Amplifiers OD100 - its awesome.

Brad's image and vibe is based on Paisley Tele's and knockoffs. He is a great player who is an unofficial member of Biff Baby's Allstars. He loves our stuff and has a bunch of em as JON says. I talk to Brad from time to time and was asked to sit in on their last tour for the encore Walk of Life but I ended up having to be out of town.

I have made Dweezil countless guitars. He loves to play the field and really doesnt need one but would probably love the idea of a sig guitar but I dont want to make a sig guitar unless they player is really commited to creating an exclusive partnership between MM/the guitar/ Dweezil has sit in with Biff Baby's since he was 16
