I think this is very cool and interesting Soldano information

I don't think this has been posted but here's some info on the first SLO100s that were sold by Mike back in the day I think it's cool as hell. Look at all the names!

Tim Pierce is one of the first guys. Haha, always a gear fiend. Some heavy company on there with him.

Nice, was looking for this the other day and couldn’t find it.

 

[Fusionbear]

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

 

[gtrwun]

Some seriously heavy hitters on that list. Pretty cool find.
Bill Connors. One of my favorites. Wonder if he used one of these during his “Holdsworth” era records? Loved his lead sounds.

Awesome stuff!

Bad ass! Don’t forget, he made one for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Unfortunately Steve died before he was able to tell Mike what he thought about it

 

[Racerxrated]

Yes; this is VERY cool...awesome history here.
Thanks Greg!

I was a Howard Leese's house and saw No.2 about a month ago.

CC Deville got his ordered right before Clapton. Now that's badass.

I think R stands for rack as Vivian’s were rackmout as he was the first guy to ask for one in rackmount format. Not sure about P as I don’t think mike was doing preamps that early.

No EVH... Hmmmmm.

He’s on page 2 that’s posted on Soldanos Instagram account

On the Insta post it says P=X88 preamp. Page 2 has star studded list too. EVH had serial no 90-5150. Right smack dab in the middle of recording Carnal Knowledge. What’s interesting is that I think the Peavey 5150 came out in 1991, just a year after he bought an SLO. And James Brown/Peavey wasn’t on that list.

Henry Kaiser. ?

THESE SOUND GREAT FOR METAL RUNS!

Wow this is fascinating. I just checked out the Instagram page and saw page 2 with EVH etc. My SLO is 90302, so it's in between page 1 and page 2 on that post -- I wonder who originally ordered mine? I actually talked to "the man" once on the phone. It didn't occur to me to even ask if he had that information. Super cool guy too -- answered all my questions.
