 Reviews


Ren Leblanc gives the Ernie Ball Musicman Silhouette a 4 out of 5!

Ordered directly from the company thru Steve's Music in Montreal, Canada. I paid 1200 Canadian dollars for this instrument. Incredible playability, great variety of tones, single coils are VERY quiet (active) ,tuning keys are incredible (the guitar never untunes even after heavy whammy bar use and string bending

Stock humbucker ( weak )

22 medium high profile frets, rosewood fretboard, two single coils and a bridge humbucker ( all custom wound Dimarzios ),5 way switch, Wilkinson Tremelo, Grover locking tuners

I got my money's worth . This is an incredible guitar. It's incredibly . for versatile and it plays like butter. It's great for someone who likes to play many different styles of music( all with the same guitar of course). The only thing that i didn't like about the guitar was the humbucker, but that's only because I wanted one that could handle very heavy riffing (dream theater style) and lead playing, so I replaced it.

This is not a Strat or a Gibson but it does a great job in reuniting some of their finer qualities. I jam alot of free improv so i wanted an instrument that could offer lot's of tonal options for an affordable price and with this guitar I found just that.
