The Silhouette uses a 22-fret neck, alder body, Wilkinson VSV non-locking tremolo and Grover locking tuners. The new electronics use a Silent Circuit in the active electronics that eliminates single-coil noise without changing the tone. You can get the guitar with a single DiMarzio humbucker and two single-coils or three DiMarzio single coils.

The neck is carved from selected maple with either a rosewood or maple fingerboard and adjustable truss rod. Scale length is 25 1/2 inches with a five-bolt neck attachment with recessed neck plate, sculpted neck joint and quick-change battery compartment. The alder body comes in three different finishes: pearl purple, candy red and pearl green. All guitars come with a pearloid pickguard.
