Description
What makes this guitar special: A conveniently compact piece, with a not-so-compact sound. The Silhouette Special sports an H-S-S combination of DiMarzio pickups for piping hot tonality with plenty of versatility, and a smooth slim-tapered maple neck with a 10” radius that makes lead lines a breeze. Finished in a premium black sparkle (no longer offered), this beauty will arrive ready to play out of the case.
Cosmetic condition: Used but not abused, with some standard wear & tear throughout. There are various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, chips, and scuffs present, along with visible buckle rash on the back and pickwear on the top. Overall, this one is in great shape, with plenty of life ahead of it.
Body: Contoured double cutaway alder body in finish with 3-ply black pickguard and string-through six saddle two-point tremolo bridge.
Weight: 7 lb, 10 oz
Neck: Thin, slim-tapered solid maple neck with gunstock oil finish. Rosewood fingerboard with aged white side dots and white dot inlays. 1 5/8” nut width, 25 1/2" scale length. Black headstock logo and Schaller locking tuners in perfect working condition. Neck is straight and truss rod is fully functional.
Electronics: DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge position (25.95k ohms), with Dimarzio single coils in the neck (23.9k ohms) and middle positions (20.17k ohms). 5-way pickup selector switch and black skirted knobs, 1x tone, 1x volume.
Case: Original hard shell case included. One of the latches is broken on the back side, but the case still serves its purpose.
