2017.5.11: I got the reverse head I was looking for, with inlays, and the tremolo unit has been replaced with a Floyd Rose Special from Sinclair, already processed.
The exact same model was listed in the 1989 catalog on the Horizon history site.
At the time of acquisition, the rear PU had been replaced with a TB-4, but the front may be stock?
2017.9.12: The sustain block was the same size as the original Floyd Rose in the marble airacula, so I transplanted it to this one.
2020.2.18:I went from 2Vol to 1Vol and used the extra hole as a coil tap switch for the rear hum.
2021.10.30: A few years after I got it, during maintenance, I noticed that one of the frets on the 6-string side had been bent and driven, and the fingerboard had been replaced because of a scratch on the high position side.
The bridge tucking is not a good craftsman's work as it has a DIY feel to it.
I had the frets replaced with Jescar 57110 nickel frets, and reassembled the instrument to the Jackson soloist's playing comfort.
The binding on the tip of the head was also peeling, so I had it repaired.

What kind of images would you like to see?
Hi, Shin! I have the very same one made in 1990, would like to know year of production of yours and maybe closeup pictures of inlays, headstock, etc :)
I think I only've seen 5 or 6 of them on the web
1. mine
2. yours
3. one that was on sale with white pickups
4. one in Finland (fully refinished, had broken headstock)
5. one on sale long ago, nothing special(10 years+)
