Back in 1987 (during the period, when I played shredder guitars), I tried out the 3-pickup version of the Soloist (I thought at the time, that they were kind of cool, since Dr. Know of Bad Brains, and few thrash metal players used them). It was a nice playing guitar, but more than I could afford at the time. They're OK guitars - for Super Strats.

Looks like you'd get your hand bit if you adjusted the tone...

 

[Elias Graves]

No. Just....no. Let the 80s go.

Adjust tone? What is this "adjust tone" of which you speak?

I can't imagine anyone but a prog fan wanting this, but I can't imagine an actual prog-based musician playing either instrument. Meaning with a King Crimson album cover on the guitar. Soloist style super strats are/were quite common to the genre, especially the more metal bands.

Why? You'll be picking a nose with no hair!

 

[Gorgon90]

I'd rock it.

 

[Muppet]

I'd rock it... at home, and only at home.

 

[BEACHBUM]

I'm at a loss for words.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Love it. And yes, ditch the inlays.

 

[Virtual Pariah]

Love it.
Keep the Inlays. They are so fitting for that type of guitar.
