I found this clip on YouTube:

He is one of Sweden's best and most experienced studio guitarist, mostly renowned for his work with ABBA, Chess (the musical) and whatnot...

An excellent looking guitar! I bet it plays just as well.

What are the main differences between an old Silo HSS and the current Silo Special-models?

It looks like one of the early Silhouette Specials that was just labeled as a Silhouette. The bridge is a Wilkinson bridge. The pickups? Not sure. I think they were Schaller. The tuners, I believe, were locking Grover tuners. I believe those are the only differences between those guitars and the current Silo Spec.

The Silo's all have 24 fret necks. This one is a Silo Special with 22 frets.

Is it just me or does that have gold plated frets

Slightly off topic, but...

Nice. He looked like he could play that song blindfolded.

Those frets caught my attention as well ?

While admittedly off topic, that tune was very Trans Siberian Orchestra sounding...pretty cool.

I took the family to see TSO last weekend. My kids really loved it, it was a lot of fun. (BTW, I think the bass player played a Stingray).
