Re: Shannon
If back of the headstock is signed by Shannon.
That would be one thing. -

Re: Shannon
there's more ways than that, but yeah, mike signed the back of them. is it floyded? is it non recessed and chrome? is the neck heel different from current soloists? is it h/s/s?
there's a few owners of them here that i'm sure can post pix.Comment

Re: Shannon
it's not my guitar but it is a 91/ou1365/-s/s/h-/recessed floyd/ black hardware but the heal is nothing like the 2000 I had or my 93 or my Charvels the heal is very low I'll try to get a pic of the heal when I see it nextComment

Re: Shannon
Year 1991 and serial number OU1365 indicate that it would not be a Shannon Soloist. That Shannon Soloists were made in 1997/1998-ish.
Here are a couple shots of mine to highlight the important identification features of the series, but keep in mind that the stock pickups are not the pickups shown in the following photographs. They also came in four finishes only (black, white, slime green, blue ghost flames, and possibly an elusive sherbet orange one).
Binding nibs over fret ends:
Old-style "bulky" neck heel:
Mike Shannon signature under the clearcoat on the back of the headstock:
Non-recessed Original Floyd Rose, chrome:
Silkscreened logo rather than mother of pearl, chrome hardware again:
Whole guitar, poplar body wings:

Re: Shannon
if the guitar has recessed trem, then it is not Shannon but from what I have been reading, if it smells like beer, it could probably be a Shannon Soloist.
