A few members were asking for pics on this, so just sharing pics of my yellow Soloist. Based on the serial that i finally got around to looking up, she is a 1987 first year Ontario custom shop order. Not a San Dimas shop as i originally thought, but just as good in my opinion. Sorry, if not the best pictures.
What nice player and she is pretty too. Nicely bound dot neck with ebony board, original floyd. Pickups are Dimarzio super 3 in the bridge and a couple of seymour duncan stacked singles. Has push/pull pots that unstack the neck and coil tap bridge pickups. Has a big brass block, D-Tuna and back stop. The yellow is not the bright yellow on some newer models, it is has a bit more mustard influence to it in person. Really reminded me of Steve Vai's yellow soloist from the 80's with the eyes all over it. That is was drove me to buy it some years back. Always dug his old Jacksons from the David Lee Roth days.
Some additional details on the neck angle. This has the vintage neck angle that requires the floyd to sit higher than a guitar with a more modern non-recessed floyd. Kinda like a violin, at least thats always what it made me think of.
Let know what you think...
