Music Man Silhouette
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
When I think of the term super strat, this is the guitar that comes to mind. When I think of my days of youth cutting my neo-classical teeth on a beat up Fender Japan Strat modded to the nines, I really could have used the 24 frets that comes stock on this model. The Silhouette [...]

MusicMan Silhouette Bass Guitar
Monday, December 20th, 2010
Once in while, we come across an instrument or a concept that leaves many people scratching their heads in wonder. I always like seeing and hearing the quirkier side of music.
