The Gotoh licensed Floyd Rose really is the best Floyd rose unit out on the market right now. It's so ergonomic. Not a single sharp edge on the tremolo. The Gotoh tremolo might be a good choice to include on your Solar guitars Ola :)
mechajabo I have, they're super expensive and made by Ping in Taiwan. The MIJ Gotoh Floyds can be picked up aftermarket for like $120 max. Technologically speaking, the Sophia trems are the most advanced tremolos out there, but they're very expensive and quality is questionable.
Unchainedmaple888 no doubt about the price. It's something I had considered to upgrade my 7 string eventually but it's difficult to get a chance to really go out and give one a fair try.
Wow, sick tones Ola. I have a couple Duncan Pegasus/Sentient sets and they are great versatile pickups. Beautiful looking guitar too. That lead section you did on the sentient was nice and juicy (fluid). Great review!
I have just upgraded my Ibanez RG with the same bridge. This Gotoh GE1996 is absolutely amazing! Rock solid tuning and stability. It gave the guitar better sustain and brightens too.
sweet guitar ! i like the way you play dude , you don't phone it in like other players you actually work for your sound used too like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani , but their music has gone downhill for years now ... but that's what you get when you HAVE too play their own song 30+ times in a year... Rock On my man !
When a video starts with My Grief, My Sorrow, you know it's going to be good even if it's a demo of a potato. But looks and sounds like a really cool guitar. And great demo as usual.
Now thats a tastey looking 6 string slab of wood!!, i think i must be getting old, im liking maple quilt tops, not just black/matt black pointy-have-ya-eye out guitars!!lol!. Great review ola.
Hey Ola, great review mate. Do we have pricing and purchase information? There's no relevant info on the Vola website and reverb doesn't have the Ares.
i really really really REALLY want to bug a Solar E1.6 and swap for Pegasus Sentien pickups, they sound so well on video, wanna know if they are worth...cuz loving the V eq (more bass and treble, lower mids)
I just put some Solar pickups into my old ass beat up 2002(ish) mexi-strat, and it sound metal as fuck now :) Perhaps your guitar company can start selling pickups? How long does SD hold the rights to those bad boys? Would love to have them in my 8 string too. Maybe i'll get lucky and find someone else who went crazy and pulled these pups :P
Starts his own guitar company, still demos other guitars. What a djentleman.
It’s a good way to know what other guitar companies are doing to their guitars.
This is normal. Like Rob Chapman and others.
Those giant Millennium Falcon Lego sets don't buy themselves!
HAHAHAHA
Starts his own guitar company
Then starts 'Vola', his own rival guitar company
the plot thickens...
(V)Ola guitar? olaminati confirmed
(S)ola(R)
Sr. Ola
JiTiAr35 ooohhhh......good point....hehe
Ola is also a brand of ice cream
Ola is everywhere
Another guitar with OLA in its name.
Your solo skills have improved with time, keep going
You really do like JP :)
What a beautiful guitar! I was not expecting it to sound so damn heavy as well !!
Ola would make a banjo sound heavy
Ola could make a potato sound heavy.
Ola would make one of those old crappy Hondo guitars sound heavy
Amazing what mixing can do..

Unchainedmaple888 should check out cls Sophia bridges

The ABM Katana looks quite interesting as well
Does The 'v' in 'Vola' stand for Very... Very Ola ;) ;)
No.
Locking nut plus locking tuners sounds a bit overkill to me, but I'm used to standard tuners on a LP so what do I know? :)
That is the most prrrrrring guitar tone I have heard in a while.
Man, your lead playing is really developing. I know you said you don't consider yourself a lead player, but your style is very smooth and clean.
Wow, sick tones Ola. I have a couple Duncan Pegasus/Sentient sets and they are great versatile pickups. Beautiful looking guitar too. That lead section you did on the sentient was nice and juicy (fluid).
Great review!
I have just upgraded my Ibanez RG with the same bridge. This Gotoh GE1996 is absolutely amazing! Rock solid tuning and stability. It gave the guitar better sustain and brightens too.
Ola I suggest you to put the tremolo bar in the opposite direction so the"gargle" effect be easier. ..and this video is fantastic as always.
Vola Ares , oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu!
rustic pronounced rust-ick btw love your sound when you play through mahogany bodies.
Love that nazgul bridge pup and gotoh trem 😍😍
The solo you play around 2 minutes is soooo Per Nilsson. Yessss.
Already owned a guitar company but does an awesome review for another guitar brand! My utmost respect goes for you Sir
Ola, If I could play like you, I would quit my job and just play guitar and listen to my own awesomeness. So impressive!
Love that guitar tone tbh
Hey Ola, it is a Vola Ola 😁
That solo was sooooo good!
Your deep down damning metal tones and playing ability is just sick,, In a good way.
Seeing The Haunted live on February 14th, can't wait! You guys rock!
love the clean sound!
Ola playing Vola!! 🤘😁😝
5:10 "Subscribe. Godda-!"
Cool! Headstock looks familiar but I can’t think of anything in caparison. Get it... lol
Nice soloing, Ola!
Ooo shit. Love this track. End, hi, Ola ))))
Pizdets _ Prodakwens
Can you please tell me name of that tune ?
That thing looks killer I'd love to get my hands on one :) thanks Ola I was wanting to watch a proper review of those Seymour Duncans thanks again 🤘
amazing opening riff!!!
sweet guitar !
i like the way you play dude , you don't phone it in like other players
you actually work for your sound
used too like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani , but their music has gone downhill for years now ...
but that's what you get when you HAVE too play their own song 30+ times in a year...
Rock On my man !
2:48 Dam I love that riff
OK that's a f*(&king Caparison
Hola Ola, how do you like the Vola?
1:57 Man your soloing git gud! that's some tasty chops right here!
Great solo! Strings look nice and slinky!
Beautiful guitar.
beautiful thing for sure. sort of in between a suhr modern and a mayones
Holy shit it's been ages since I last listened to My Grief And Sorrow xD
When a video starts with My Grief, My Sorrow, you know it's going to be good even if it's a demo of a potato.
But looks and sounds like a really cool guitar. And great demo as usual.
Now thats a tastey looking 6 string slab of wood!!, i think i must be getting old, im liking maple quilt tops, not just black/matt black pointy-have-ya-eye out guitars!!lol!. Great review ola.
Nice guitar, cross between a Mayones Duvell/Caparison type thing with a more traditional shaped body.
Ola Vai :D Nice playing man!
it looks cool
if it didn't have that thick maple cap I'd bet dollars to Donuts that this fiddle would sound a ton "brighter"... how was that gotoh bridge?
Hey Ola, great review mate. Do we have pricing and purchase information? There's no relevant info on the Vola website and reverb doesn't have the Ares.
Does anyone else judge a guitar company's logo font. The guitar looks beautiful but the font ruins it for me!
damn i kinda hoped you'd play the first song just like the way you demo-ed your lefthanded models when you were still with washburn. damn.
nice solos!
@Ola Axe used for recording? Thx for answer.
Wowwwwww !!!! Very heavy sound
Vola Englund
i really really really REALLY want to bug a Solar E1.6 and swap for Pegasus Sentien pickups, they sound so well on video, wanna know if they are worth...cuz loving the V eq (more bass and treble, lower mids)
Ola Vola rock n rolla!
Have you decided to only play guitars which have "Ola" included in the company name?
I just put some Solar pickups into my old ass beat up 2002(ish) mexi-strat, and it sound metal as fuck now :) Perhaps your guitar company can start selling pickups? How long does SD hold the rights to those bad boys?
Would love to have them in my 8 string too. Maybe i'll get lucky and find someone else who went crazy and pulled these pups :P
misterringer Ola has previously said he doesn't want to sell the PU separately. He wants them to be a feature you can ONLY get in a solar guitar.
What drum software are you using in this demo? The kick sounds killer
Stunning guitar and your playing is hot as always ola, I luv u babby
So how much does this brand typically go for? Searching the internet hasn't yielded any result.
This model? Around $3400 :)
Hola, Ola's Vola !
not too shabby..It sounds similar to my rg from Ibanez
Riffing sounds like Bolt Thrower!!
Hi Ola, please, which amps did you use in distortion parts? It's great video, thanks. ;)
Hi Ola, have you heard of Jinjer band ? What can you say about them ?)
That sounded killer. Which song is that? It would be super cool to have the tabs and backing track :)
1. Feared - My Grief, My Sorrow
2. Feared - Godless Devotion
3. The Haunted - Spark
about the others i am not sure
Nice
Looks like a Caparison, Fujigen Gakki?
OK....when i buy my E1.6....the Pegasus Sentient set is going straight into it
Vola? The headstock makes it look like it was made by Caparison
BC Rich Warlock as a first gutar, yay or nay?
Im gonna create a guitar brand called spaghetti guitars.
every axe comes with a cheap pack of spaghetti
Yeah! Nice guitar! Oui, "Rustique" is a word lol!
ola你赚翻了！
Neck looks narrow. Is it or is it just the angle?
Ola in the name again, hmm... If I start a band called Ebola, will you review our records?
it looks liek Keith merrows new shecter ! and that's another reason to get it \m/
i dono if it from seein 7 strings alot but dose that neck look very tiny like realy slim?
Too bad I've seen these for over a year now and there is no place to buy them..
Hey Ola
Greetings From NEPAL !!
How much does it cost?
Where are these available in Europe?
Vola englund
Reminds me of a Caparison.
preis ????? price ???
gotoh bridge
Caparison?
How much for this?
Uhhhhh so heavy!
You should have ended your review with, "It's pretty good but it's not a Solar!"
I hope they endorse the prog metal band VOLA.
DAT BASS
Rustic, pronounced "russ tick", but close enough.
Beery
maybe in america
Murca!
only now i realise your name is in the name sOLAr
So it's pretty much an Ibanez RG body with an ESP neck and a Caparison headstock? Alright, then...
Yes, rustic is the correct word there.
Mystique is totally a word bruv, I swear this rad Swede speaks better English than half of my coworkers here in the USA 😉
Think he said rustic. But pronounced it like you would in swedish.
I prefer Solar Guitars ;-)
