Off Topic 1989 Silhouette in action

Hello there,

I've decided to record one of my favourite solos using my trusty 1989 Silhouette and Scuffham S-Gear 2. Few months ago I had a chance to purchase this amazing instrument (my first MM), and I'm very pleased to be a proud owner of this baby. It has some dings, and the color is more greenish than blueburst, but hey, it's almost 25 years old :)
At first it didn't stay in tune very well (and yup - it's a vintage schaller trem with micro-tuners), so I've decided to install Schaller M6 locking machine heads and take off the "top lock"). Now I can do almost everything, that I do with floyd rose equipped guitars, without all the downsides.

Here are few photos:

Great guitar, and great playing! I've been using S-Gear for a while as well, really great modelling software.
 
Slick playing! Guitar looks amazing. I also like your Blues guitar as well.

Welcome
