I found this on Facebook Marketplace for dirt cheap. It was someone's project guitar that he lost passion for. At first I thought it must be a Warwick bass converted to guitar, but it's neck through so it's the neck it's born with. The pickups are a Seymour Duncan SH4 JB in bridge, an unidentified SD single coil in mid and a 59 in neck. There used to be four pots, but the previous owner ditched two of them and moved the volume and tone to the lower position. I was annoyed with the empty holes until I put two bolts in there and it's sort of cool, I think. It's gotten locking tuners and a nice setup so now it's my doom stick. I have to say, I'm really surprised at how comfortable it is. Neck is smooth and the body is really easy to handle. I've never seen one like this before, so curiosity got the better of me, and I'm glad it did.

Just got done with this. All electronics have been upgraded and also installed locking tuners. It's my first Charlie Christian, and I'm very impressed with it. The Silo is amazing. Super tight and powerful. It plays fantastically in drop C. Very pleased with this one.

Inspired by the Arthur Rimbaud quote “Idle youth, enslaved to everything; by being too sensitive I have wasted my life.”
