Wow, I find that a bit of a shock if it's true. Let's hope not.

That would be a very big development and I'm sure we would have all heard about it already (at least on the forum) if it were true.

Just because MF discontinues a product doesn't neccesarily mean the manufacturer has as well. That was likely going to be my next acquistion.

You can still order a Silo Special.

That SKU appears to be for Carbon Blue which has been discontinued.

lol, you must think I'm a dumb sh!t

Thanks guys, hope you're right that it only means (1) color has been discontinued, (2) MF isn't carrying that particular module or (3) someone at MF f!_!cked up.

After much researching and review of EBMM models ... and as much as I'd like a 25th annie, a JP ... my heart lies with the silo special, I basically want a pair of them: one with SSS piezo, the other with HSS piezo, and then I'll dump my other guitars (a beck strat, an amercan deluxe (HSS) strat and a parker mojo). Preferably in this SEXY color:



On another topic ... is anyone finding access via Firefox painfull today? Page refreshes are taking forever or not resolving at all. I had to <eek> revert to Internet Explorer to post this.

stuff like that on MF usually means that the that specific color or PG etc is distontinued.

This can lead to some pretty sweet deals. I got a sterling 5 like off their discontinued stock due to the PG being discontinued at an absurd price.
