Well that looks exactly like my Washburn Solar US custom shop Ola Signature, which I got a few years back then...except that I have a Hipshot bridge and Duncan pickups. However, love that guitar!!!
@MOsKOn hahaha ibanez copycats? this guitars are based on the washburn parallaxe and solar, washburn made better guitars than the indonesia ibanez, they are shit guitars, just the japan ibanez are good, solar made good guitars for a good price
@MOsKOn there's nothing wrong with starting with a low or mid-tier guitar and upgrading over time. hell one of the best ways to learn about gear is chop-shopping budget copy guitars into something truly unique. That's how I learned pickup wiring and trem installation and pretty much everything. better to do it on a $300 ibanez or squier than to fuck up an expensive instrument.
I have this model guitar and it is my most played, even above my Ibanez Pia and other high end axes. I've barely recorded with naything else since I bought it. The Fluences/Evertune combo is incredible. The only thing I changed was a chrome pickup selector knob as the white one didn't cut it!
Never been a huge superstrat guy, but that was satisfying. Perfection, as human imperfection in everything can ever be. Great platform. Maybe P-90 for me in the neck - but aweseome still.
@@ClinesMindMetal I bought it the instant I saw it, moments after Ola posted the introductory video. Even among all of the other Solar chugging & shredding monsters, it's in a gorgeous class all by itself. 10/10
2:32 - This is one of The Haunted´s best songs from the modern era in my honest opinion. It´s called "No compromise" from the album "Revolver". If you haven´t heard it - what the f'ck are you doing, go listen to it NOW! You´re welcome 🤘
@@zmr28 Damn, you´re right! My bad. Love that album though. My preference is the earlier album but "Revolver" was a hit in my book. No compromise is the first song, I sang it in my head and I did an oopsie. 😂
Wow, this guitar looks amazing. I told myself a new PC comes before a new guitar, but this has me second-guessing.... Chrome on white looks great, and Fishman + Evertune is the dream combo.
So sick, after watching the last video with fluence pickups I immediately thought Ola going to put these pickups in his next guitar. I noticed after you put delay/distortion/overdrive onto your signal chain the fluence pickups really shine especially for recording.
Hey man, Solar Guitars release new guitars at an incredible pace! That one is pretty sick I must say. With all the features it has, it makes a damn good flag ship.
Nope. My S1.6PP also shipped with 9's and I just switched them to 11's for dropped C tuning with no problems, other than tuning/intonating with the Evertune bridge. That part takes awhile when switching string guages. Especially if you're not familiar with them, as this was my first experience.
Seems extremely unlikely that the nut slots are within 0.001in tolerance and a perfect fit for the default strings. You will generally want to do some minor setup tweaks when changing string gauge but you should be able to go pretty thick before you need to worry about the nut. Everyone bridges may also need spring changes with large changes to string gauge but it depends what tuning you’re using. If you raise gauge without lowering tuning you may need everyone adjustments. For example, if you tune down to C standard with 12-60 strings you should be fine, since the lower tension counters the string gauge.
I think he said 11 to 60! Standard B, but I use 12 to 56 D'addario strings on my standard B guitars. 1 of which is a Jackson and the other is a A1.6BOP ARTIST SERIES SOLAR GUITAR! I had to wallow out the lowest 2 two out with the old set that came on it, (it has a graphite nut, which make it an easy operation!) So I don't think you would have a big problem! V⚡🇺🇸
One would think it would be better to have to switch the "blarghy" on, rather than pull to turn it off. Otherwise it is a very pretty guitar and very modern with those pickups and the evertune bridge. I hope it sells really well for you.
One could always re-wire the control as a mod. But yeah, the second voicing is superior to my ears. I don't really like any actives, they always feel stale and lifeless, but this demo made them sound less bad.
Man... I found a video about one of the A series today by chance, and I've spent about 6 hours watching your videos. You are a superbly good human. Thank you for the laughs. Thanks for your FAQ videos. And thank you for your guitar brand. I'll be looking to adopt one of your A1.6D LTDs when they're available. The Vinter is a damn sexy guitar too, but if you had an E series with 24 frets, I'd be a happily poor man! Thanks again!
Epic, love this color way and the Fishman/evertune combo reminds me of Ken Susi signature guitar. You should totally have him on for coffee, maybe him and buzz together! 2 on Ola ...with ☕️
Olaf I had played infinite electric guitars but that guitar the one you playing in this video is one of the best sounding and looking guitars... thqnk you
i want a left handed version of this! oh my oh my, this is a marvel to look at and probably a dream to play. i have yet to get my south paw on a solar...bucket list guitar for sure, must have it!
@@johnnyknowles6642 meh limited selection just means limited addition to me lol, means buy one and then buy the next model lol. These solar guitars are so sweet! i hope to get one someday soon! id be happy with any leftie solar tbh. a solar is better than no solar imo
Oh true, yeah cost at the moment is a hindrance but the price is still good. I'm just gonna keep on saving. By then there maybe some more models. I wish i could gave the patience for any v. Lol they are slippery on the lap.
Please release models with these specs (with or without the option to have with other Fishman pickup models) in more colors! The Duncan Solar is good but having more pickup options standard would be very welcome. I love my A1.6FRC though I replaced the pickups with BKP Nailbomb set. I would totally buy a blood red/black hardware version of this with the Evertune and Fishman Moderns or Devin Townsend set.
Gotta say, I'm so on board for the Solar hype-train, the quality and price point is second to none! Any idea when we can expect a headless guitar? Cheers!
Sweet guitar! I need one in white! Im eyeballing the km7 mkiii snowblind super hard too. Will there be a black chrome version of the hardware and pkup covers of this to compliment the dark neck? Neat!
This one looks similar to my white Washburn USA Solar although pickups are different (white SDs in mine). My favourite design out of Solar guitars so far.
Bro. Just received this guitar 3 days ago. It is... well... absolutely fucking KILLER! I had a Solar S1.6PP which I loved dearly but this one with the Alder body and the Fishman Fluence Modern is definitely better than the other one I had IMO. Great product !
@@SaltyOceans I highly suggest you get it. Don’t have money? Then pile up because it really is worth it. Solid instrument. You have the high quality Solar instrument with the high intensity Fluence Modern with agressive low end. I’m tuned to B and it is just insane.
@@philippelafortune-leroux1620 god damn. Yeah its definitely going to be my next one. I already have a solar so i kinda now what to expect quality wise. Im really looking forward to it. Thanks man

Need to offer inlays on some of them Ola ! Please lol some of us love our sharkfin inlays. Maybe do a piece of the solar logo for an inlay and than still have that big beautiful one at the 12th fret !! Otherwise love what solar does and your continual refreshment to things !!!!!
I was checking the website this morning and this guitar actually made me stop and check the specs. I like it as is, but I'd have already ordered one if there was an option for gold or black hardware... I'll add it to my list of guilty pleasures along with the GC1.6FAB ;)
Reminds me a bit of Ken Susi's signature guitar with the evertune and fishmans. Also, Ola.. I know you say lefties dont sell unless they're black, but this would sell instantly
This comment has two reasons first the guitar looks super good and second you can see these videos from the solar guitar website before they are set to get seen by everyone because they are not listed but already linked to the website
I have this guitar and it is the best sounding guitar ive ever played and it aint close. also side note, that very last little lick you played to end the video was insane...
I actually emailed Solar to see if there was a way I can get my hands on a white A1.6 or a 7 with an ebony fretboard, and they said no. Im glad this just showed up!
It's cool to see someone not actually hating on the CabClone! I use one and just bypass the shitty IRs from the unit and use the ones I have on my computer.

All Against All - The Haunted
