Arrived - 2007 Limited Edition Silhouette Special HSS Blue Dawn
Latest import -
2007 Limited Edition "Blue Dawn" Silhouette Special HSS Tremolo with Rosewood fretboard & Matching Headstock.
Grainy pics taken by Nokia mobile. Better quality pics to be uploaded soon.
Note: Some review on the color here. The Blue Dawn is definitely a SPARKLE color. It is very very hard to capture the sparkle on film because of the thick poly coat and the nature of the sparkle itself - which is actually tiny light-blue sprinkles (as opposed to the big metal flakes found in the G&L sparkle series). In person however, the sparkles grow and reflect light at any angle you look at it. The level of intensity of the sparkles here is of course lower than the Autumn Redburst I have earlier showcased, but is definitely appropriate for the theme "Blue Dawn", where brightness breaks into the sky, and the stars shimmers away. Fans of the Blue Dawn hesitating to acquire this special piece - DONT WAIT, you will NOT be disappointed.
The G&G deluxe case is however a letdown here. The internal construction of the case looks fragile with the thin cushioned wall and a flimsy storage compartment, as compared to the SKB style EBMM Hardshell case. The guitar does not snug tightly inside the case, and movement is inevitable. The void does however provide space for protection (foam sheets and bubble wrap) to cushion any knocks and bangs. The case was opened up for custom inspection and was NOT repacked properly for its final delivery to my doorstep. Thanks to the many foam sheets and bubble wraps provided by my vendor, the Silo Spec does however arrives in perfect condition. The G&G case, to me, is not a good choice for long-distance shipment and bcos of this, I may refrain from bringing in any future pieces that are shipped in the G&G case.

Thanks... Is this one NOS? or used? How's the finish condition? Can you ask?
It's definately newer than the last Silo you got for me. Compensated nut, and virtual PAF pups...

Then that includes ALL LE series guitars, and BFRs... I don't like the G&G cases either... Their SKB flight cases are much better...

leecs: I actually prefer the V-shaped Luke to silos... Chunkier feeling... Almost like a LP...
savedbygrace: yup, the Luke is a totally awesome guitar, my friend loved playing it (that guy in the picture), he hates EMGs, but the neck pickup was really nice, but the bridge is kinda disappointing to him as he wanted an SSS guitar... Still trying to get him to get an EBMM though... Recently got two friends converted to the JP6! One of my friend is this lovely young lady (well, older than me lar... but you get the picture
)

Considering how small that guitar actually is, your friend is really petite...:mrgreen:

The Sub is discontinued.
But to answer the Silo and Axis question, I asked them, and they said: "Because nobody buys them. If you want we can order." I almost fainted.
I did order a LE08 Silo Spec through them though... awaiting it's arrival.
