Allan Holdsworth –
SynthAxe on "Radio Free Albemuth"
[Holdsworth is listed on guitar at AllMusic, but if you listen to the actual recording, it is apparent that the solo is performed with a synthesizer. Holdsworth was a prolific user of the SynthAxe in this time period, and did not perform with regular guitar synthesizers. The synthesizer may have been processed through a guitar amp, a method Holdsworth had previously employed on "Mac Man" from the album "Sand". ("Castles Made Of Sand", Guitarist, November 1987)]
