What I love about Solar guitars is the no-bullshit-frills aesthetic. No inlays, flat black, no stupid rainbow colored binding, etc. I can't wait to own one of these one day, they sound great and have everything I'm looking for.
Looks so cool with the blacked out logos. I wish more models get this treatment. Can't beat how badass a dark fretboard without anything really on it looks
The black on black looks incredible. Especially the Solar inlay at the 12th. I've been thinking of putting Fishman Fluence Moderns in my Solar and this may have just pushed me into pulling the trigger on that. Solar is killing it 🔥
I've emailed several times about this and never got a reply. A G series in the purple burl with a Floyd Rose is my wish, but apparently they're not interested.
@@ChunkyPuke4me whenever other companies have offered this kind of service, the prices ended up being quite extravagant . So perhaps it just isn’t cost effective but I imagine people would be willing to pay the extra money to have custom choices.
Custom Shop guitars are really costly both to build and to buy. Instead of machining multiple copies of the same guitar, dedicated luthiers have to go down a list of options and it's time intensive and hence cost intensive. it's a better way to keep the costs down by offering limited runs that are mass produced. So short answer, no or at least not at this stage.
@@Beyond-Antares your point falls apart despite it's detail because essentially all I would be asking for is a G series Solar guitar as offered on the website with current floyd rose option and current neck, pick ups, tuners, etc except allow buyers to choose other colors. Solar has reds, blues, purple and more, but those colors are not offered on all models with specific components. They're already making the guitars and spraying the colors. We'd just like the option to choose the color of the offered models. Maybe one day. Excellent guitars nonetheless. Cheers.
I didn’t know Solar existed until I saw At The Gates last October and they looked and sounded so sick. I looked them up after the show and bought a V, but I’ve been hung up on the baritone since and might just have to get one.
Probably going to pick up the A1.6ATG when I get a new 6 string. Went with Bare Knuckle Aftermath's on my 7 but it was a tough call, really want to play around with those Fishman as well, and that guitar is just gorgeous. Great featureset, the Evertune was the cherry on top.
I am usually not sure about Fishman Fluence pickups but those guitars sounds killer in the mix! That's interesting how they have different scale length for the same tuning. I would love to have your advice on how to 6 string baritone, how to mod your regular guitar to make it baritone... stuffs like that
Look awesome! I wish you said something about difference in handling & feel. I would probably dig the shorter scalelenght model, how is tuning stability in B on that one?
Ola, I have a guitar that came with a push pull tone and I swapped it out for a 'push push' pot and so much more user friendly for live playing as instead of fumbling to pull up the knob, a light push down and it pops up like magic, then a simple second push and it locks down, genius great alternative for coil splitting ect.
I have baritone ATG but previous model. It is a great instrument! Fishman fluence pickups are super sensitive and sustain seams never ending :) the only thing that bothers me is cable plug - I play mostly sited with guitar between legs and unplugging it every time I hand guitar to not drain the battery. Regardless of those small inconveniences this is my best guitar I have, Thank you Ola! \m/
It would be so great if more of the Solar guitars with Fishman's also came with Hipshot instead of Evertune! Would die for this version with Hipshot (the non-baritone version) 🚀💥 Best regards
Hi Ola, is there a Solar model with 3pc neck through, 27 scale, 7 string and evertune? Could not find this combination, always one thing's out. I'm not even asking black, because duuh, obv..
The mix sounded awesome. Loud drums loud bass. Guitars cutting through. Singing along in my head. Guitars should have had a push/pull installed for voicing of the pickup. Great work Ola love it
@@ESPE2M1 Love mine, would never go back. I guess if you use a floyd or like ability to change tunings quickly then other bridges are good... but the tuning stability is amazing.
@@umosay No Floyd's here. I always wondered why you don't see more Evertune bridge equipped guitars. Cost I assume? Are string changes the same as a regular hardtail?
I borrowed one for a week. Im guessing if you record and mix its a good solution. It was not for me, with evertune i had quite a hassle to put and keep the guitar in the "bend" mode. It's less of a hassle to just tune my guitar
Why is the baritone model on the website have dot inlays etc, and not blacked out as shown and featured in this video? is there a different model number for the sig in this video and not the ATG model on the site?
Ola this two guitars have a beautiful, shiny, polished fretboard. How did you guys do that? It looks so good! I've only seen one other company do that. I'm loving those
Have a good friday everyone!
You too!
You too!
Why thank you
Have a great weekend sir 👊🏼
RIGHT BACK AT YA HOMIE
Slaughter Of The Soul is one of my all time favorite albums.
Agreed. Its a gem.
Ok
Isn't it one of everybody's?
@Tzaak Official their new stuff is awesome too
I just heard it for the first time this week
Absolutely freaked out on it
It’s everything I ever wanted from metal
Those guys have been at the gates for a long time, maybe someone should open the door ?
Sieges used to take a very long time pre-siege engines, but this is kinda getting ridiculous. Might wanna pack it up.
They bought bogus tickets from a scalper. Security won't let 'em in.
Who heard Tompa's vocals in their heads?
I need one of these guitars in my life. At The Gates \m/
try not to headbang
@@dw9860 I was on a bus and was close to it \m/
I heard your voice when reading this comment and almost started to headbang too!
@@22222Sandman22222 😂
Only the dead are smiling!!!
Cold and Blinded by Fear: the two songs that got me into Swedish death metal so many years ago.
When I see this, I feel my soul go cold. Only the dead are smiling! Beautiful guitars!!
What I love about Solar guitars is the no-bullshit-frills aesthetic. No inlays, flat black, no stupid rainbow colored binding, etc. I can't wait to own one of these one day, they sound great and have everything I'm looking for.
*Do the side dots also glow black?*
And I would put on some black strings for ultimate blackness.
Needs black frets
DR strings should get you covered
But would you play Blackened?
You could never play a major scale with all that black
@@mobilemetal4554 Sure you could, it would just turn into a minor scale!
Looks so cool with the blacked out logos. I wish more models get this treatment. Can't beat how badass a dark fretboard without anything really on it looks
Looks sinister as hell! Love it!
they look amazing, i think i want one of them
Love the bridge!! If the lefty V had that instead of the Evertune, I'd buy it.
Got to love you starting the video with my favorite ATG song.
Nice!! I don’t know what it is about this colour and body shape, but these guitars remind me of the bat mobile.
Totally!
The black on black looks incredible. Especially the Solar inlay at the 12th. I've been thinking of putting Fishman Fluence Moderns in my Solar and this may have just pushed me into pulling the trigger on that.
Solar is killing it 🔥
Pro-tip: check if the pickup cavities are deep enough for fishamns first ;)
Thanks...now our band members want your brand even more! But seriously, epic release this. They look amazing and such good specs.
Oh helllllll yes. The 27" is a must-buy. Absolutely amazing.
hell yeah! At the Gates is the band that greatly influenced/influences how I write guitar melody and harmony.
Evertune, fishman modern, 27” bariton, all black. Instant buy for the studio 🖤🖤🖤
sadly the bariton has no evertune :/
@@brunowilliam7529 yes, it's a real pity. But the specs were soooo close :)
The most exciting riffs I've ever heard on Ola's channel
Ola, would you ever consider having a custom build option available on the website. So we can pick and choose hardware and colours etc?
I've emailed several times about this and never got a reply. A G series in the purple burl with a Floyd Rose is my wish, but apparently they're not interested.

It has been adressed in several FAQs, for now Solar Guitars is not big enough to establish a custom shop.
a pity that the baritone doesn't have an Evertune bridge. I'm looking for that. :(
OMG, missed opportunity ;-(
I think one of the solar baritone models is a 27” with an evertune I believe it’s one of the poplar burl ones
@@SRDTX but unfortunately that one is not BLACK ;-(
my thoughts exactly
it would make this an easy decision
Is it just me or does the 27” model sound better?
Love the blacked out logos
I finally broke down and bought the A1.6 27" ATG baritone and case today 🤘
this is seriously one of the best guitar tones i've ever heard, so crunchy!
Love the energy you had presenting those guitar. Love the black on black
At the gates - Slaughter of the soul - one of the best albums period! 🤘
Your alternate picking is insanely clean, fast, and accurate! 😯
Timing Man !! Next week 25th anniversary of Slaughter od the Soul !! Sick guitars !! 🔥🤘
I feel my Ola closing in! 🤘🤘
2 years later YT reminds me that I need to spend to some feriepenger on a Solar baritone
Incedible Sound. What Amp / Box combo is it ?
I didn’t know Solar existed until I saw At The Gates last October and they looked and sounded so sick. I looked them up after the show and bought a V, but I’ve been hung up on the baritone since and might just have to get one.
Tidy! Baritone looks amazing! Also can spot the Mick T Jackson in the rack, nice!
Nice ! The riff att 0:14 goes 5-8-5 with at pull-off though before the end though
This is a sick guitar, totally eyeing the Baratone.
Ola playing these at the gates riffs, amazing
3 of my favorite metal patterns on that opener. God damn! Love that.......
Probably going to pick up the A1.6ATG when I get a new 6 string. Went with Bare Knuckle Aftermath's on my 7 but it was a tough call, really want to play around with those Fishman as well, and that guitar is just gorgeous. Great featureset, the Evertune was the cherry on top.

It´s an evertune, don´t mind my question about tuning :)

Blackened awesomenesss !!
I saw At The Gates live, about two years ago! I always liked their sound! They sound amazing in the records and on stage!
Wow I love these new Black Dahlia Murder signature guitars!
That baritone rips them off at the base and throws it out the window. Earned a sub 🔥🤘
Just preordered model 2 🤜🤘🤛
*salivating and rubbing hands with glee*
That's exactly what I've been looking for in a guitar. Simple and straight to the point.
This vid made my Friday. Thank you Ola!!
Got to see them 2 years ago in Charlotte North Carolina with arch enemy and amon amarth their live sound was to die for
Man! What a nice pair of instuments. So hard to choose between the two. Probably have to get both of them and bolt them together to make a doubleneck!
These look awesome 🤩🤩 Sounds great with those Fishmans Too!
Blinded by fear is the song played at 2:40
Badass guitars! Badass guitar players!! I remember purchasing the burning darkness back in the day, blew me away.
Cool, not sure which one to buy. Does the "normal scale" work well in B? Which strings gauge should be used for it?
Thoughts on hipshot vs evertune? (still havent pulled the plug for evertune equipped guitar, but considering) thank you
They both look so good in that all-black finish!
Hey man made my Friday morning loud and proud sounds awesome🤟
Those are sick! Wish there was a 7 string version.
I can’t imagine Ola without solar guitars
Hey Ola what plug in are you using sounds great!
I have baritone ATG but previous model. It is a great instrument! Fishman fluence pickups are super sensitive and sustain seams never ending :)
the only thing that bothers me is cable plug - I play mostly sited with guitar between legs and unplugging it every time I hand guitar to not drain the battery.
Regardless of those small inconveniences this is my best guitar I have, Thank you Ola! \m/
Love that blacked out look!!! Stealth mission approved!!
I think a red/yellow swirl like the ATG lovo would be cool.
It would be so great if more of the Solar guitars with Fishman's also came with Hipshot instead of Evertune! Would die for this version with Hipshot (the non-baritone version) 🚀💥 Best regards
I have the original one with the grover tuners. Such a sick guitar. The one with the ET is calling my name though!
THAT guitar....is one of the best looking ones you've made so far.
So dope!
Maaaaan, that tone is so crunchy!!!
Does it come with a metal zone?
Slaughter of the soul. Such a good album!
which plugin and which settings to create that tone??
Can you please show us more of the basses on Sunday? Heavily considering buying it but I’ve only seen a few seconds of it
Hey Ola, is this an amp or a plugin you're using in this demo?
I'd love to see some models with EMG 57/66 :)
Both are badass. That baritone model though really speaks to me.
A launch of At The Gates signature guitars would not be complete without Ola playing "Blinded By Fear".
Beautiful guitar and a great song choice
Hi Ola, is there a Solar model with 3pc neck through, 27 scale, 7 string and evertune? Could not find this combination, always one thing's out. I'm not even asking black, because duuh, obv..
Ola, was that one of your riffs at the beginning?? That was EPIC
That was cold by at the gates
That's a killer fiddle right there. Thanks Ola .
Oh Shizzy!! At the Gates, Signature?? I'm onboard with this!!!
The mix sounded awesome. Loud drums loud bass. Guitars cutting through. Singing along in my head. Guitars should have had a push/pull installed for voicing of the pickup. Great work Ola love it
They do have a push pull. He showed it off towards the end of the video, he just phrased it weirdly.
@@IllusionaryFuneral thanks 🙏🏻 my bad
@@Daemot No worries! Enjoy your day.
Hmm 25.5 6-str in standard B? Would be nice to know the string gauge.
Hipshot bridges are great, love the weighted one I installed on my 7.
Holy shit I am early for once. When will the left hand LP models be coming out?
🤣🤣
We could only wish....
Can you please release an a1.6 29" with this all black aesthetic. Instant purchase for me.
I've never been into that band, but that riffinh on the beginning of video was orgasmic
why solar still non have black gloss guitars? only matte collor.... sad(
amazing guitar , i had the fisrt at the gates version but love it like this !!
sick at the gates riff in the intro
What song was it? I was all about it. 😂
@@JohnGuitarNoises At The Gates - Cold ;)
@@Tescoszatyor legend!
Oh shit, the baritone version is basically exactly what I need in my life.
Same, just wish it had the evertune bridge
I'm trying to decide if I really want an Evertune in my next guitar.
Same here. Any downsides to an Evertune bridge?
@@ESPE2M1 Love mine, would never go back. I guess if you use a floyd or like ability to change tunings quickly then other bridges are good... but the tuning stability is amazing.
@@umosay No Floyd's here. I always wondered why you don't see more Evertune bridge equipped guitars. Cost I assume? Are string changes the same as a regular hardtail?
@@ESPE2M1 It's quite a new tech, not many have adopted it yet... thankfully Ola got onboard. Yeah, string changes are simple with locking tuners.
I borrowed one for a week. Im guessing if you record and mix its a good solution. It was not for me, with evertune i had quite a hassle to put and keep the guitar in the "bend" mode. It's less of a hassle to just tune my guitar
You can pull the knob and… absolutely nothing happens. I have the baritone, it’s good. Zero quality check but it’s so good looking.
Why is the baritone model on the website have dot inlays etc, and not blacked out as shown and featured in this video? is there a different model number for the sig in this video and not the ATG model on the site?
Hey Ola, I have an esp exp300 Gibson lawsuit guitar from 99 if you're interested.
They are BEAUTIFUL.
Make more 27” scale models!!!! Especially 7-strings/with a floyd rose PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WILL BUY ONE RIGHT NOW
So good man, and tasty riffs.
What riff is that at 2:38 sounds so familiar
Blinded by fear by atg
Under the serpent sun and those guitars can both live as one
I can't seem to find this information anywhere: is the neck pickup alnico or a ceramic? I am assuming the bridge is a ceramic.
Ola this two guitars have a beautiful, shiny, polished fretboard. How did you guys do that? It looks so good! I've only seen one other company do that. I'm loving those
