Made a trip down to Sacramento today to visit a college for my little brother, and decided to stop off at Guitar Center for a few minutes just to check if they had anything cool in stock.
They did.
A used EBMM Silhouette. Paid $700 out the door for it. Forgot to haggle for strings or strap-locks though. D: No idea what year it was made in, but it seems to be older, seeing as it still has the 6 bolt neck instead of the 5 bolts guitar center and musicians friend say they have.
So far, I'm liking the sound. It's a welcome change from my Schecter. Not to say the Schecter sounds bad, but it just lacks that open, airyness I want out of my guitars. Which is exactly what this guitar gets me. A nice, open, airy tone that sounds great clean, crunchy, or through a massive thick wall of fuzz. And that's just with 10's on it. I like 12s on my 6's. :haha: :haha:
Being used, it has a few scuffs here and there. Especially the back. The front is nearly perfect, with pick scratches here and there. But the back is messed up with really bad buckle rash. :sad: And there is a weird black tarry crap on the back, but I'm not quite sure how to get it off without ****ing it up. Anyone have any suggestions?
TL;DR: Cost $650, best guitar I own at the moment.
