The Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette arrived in 1986 as the company's first electric guitar after years of building basses. A 25.5-inch scale with 24 frets, a slim bolt-on neck with the compact 4+2 headstock, and a body thinner than a Stratocaster's make it a distinctly modern instrument, offered in several pickup layouts including HSS and dual humbucker.
The Gibson ES-335 Dot is a semi-hollow electric guitar featuring Gibson's classic double-cutaway design with a solid maple center block running through the body, combining the resonance of a hollow-body with the feedback resistance and sustain of a solid-body instrument. Named for its simple dot fingerboard inlays (distinguishing it from fancier ES-335 variants), it delivers the warm, articulate tone that made the platform a defining instrument in blues, jazz, and rock since its 1958 introduction.
