Back then the necks had a satin finish on them; the last 6-bolt Silhouette I got my grubby little paws on was a circa 1990 version and the neck had taken on the glossy feel from really being played; it kind of looked like marantz's neck.

Back in the 1990s I was a PRS guy - I had a 1992 CE (they were all 24s back then) and the neck was finished in satin nitro; it got glossy with use.

I read in an old guitarist magazine, that the necks used to be finished with a mix of wax and gun oil. I dont know if it,s true ,but thats how it kind of feels. It,s not sticky, feels polished, very fast. But not in a ibanez way(i,ve got a s540 custom made.dont play it any more,gave it to my son.he loves it). It,s the most comfortable neck i,ve played. Love it. I want another but hard tail. I dont have the trem arm, i,ll have to see if Blind Lemon can work his magic.

The wax/gunstock oil mix is what they use now.

My 20th

My 20th Anniversary Silhouette (1st Ball) just arrived and it is even better than I expected. I couldn't be more excited.

I'm afraid to touch it. Maybe I will leave it in the case and not play it.... Just look at it and keep it as a collector's item.

A quick snapshot.

Hello everyone!

I have owned these two Balls for a short while and these are by far the best instruments in my opinion. Like most of you I have had many other guitars over the past 20 something years and EB's are now my main guitars for life. I know that last part was a pretty bold statement but once you have played the best why bother with the rest! I really enjoy looking at all of the other guitars out there and hope to hear any comments that you might have.

Take care.
Gundar
