In the video from the Guitar Legends show in Sevilla '92 you can see and hear the high E-string gets stuck in the fret ends, so Keith has to pull it out. A guitarplayer needs his tools to be flawless and work smoothly all the time. Obviously the Silhouette didn't, so out the window it went. Can't say I blame him.
Watch from about 4:10 in this video of Going Down:

I doubt that's the reason he stopped using it.

If I remember the story correctly, Keith's original was a prototype which was later stolen or lost, and the replacements were not as good.
I've had two Silhouettes , and I think they're excellent guitars, the one's like KR and Wood used. I've always thought KR was attracted to it because the neck is similar to the Dan Armstrong.

Does anyone know Keiths basic rig for those late 80's gigs? Was he hitting a pedal on the SFD and GS lead work?

A Marshall head was the source for the leads in Sad Sad Sad etc.

I don't think KR or RW have had a pedal onstage since 81/82.

He actually used a Soldano SLO-100 for most of the US tour, and a 50 watt Plexi from some US shows and the 1990 tour.

This is about the Dan Armstrong he used from 1969 until 1971, which has a prototype pickup. Stolen in July 1971, and replaced for the early 1972 shows and abandoned ever since.

No, he said this about the MM Silo. What you wrote above is true, too.
I believe it was mentioned on the description plate when the MM was on display at Exhibitionism.

The heads in the pic I posted above are Marshalls, aren't they?
