For the people that are asking for LEFT HANDED guitars, you have to understand that this is just the beginning. I'm not Gibson or ESP, I cannot offer everything right off the bat. Please be patient, I do have plans for you, but you have to let me at least work up my name for a bit. Thank you for understanding.
it would be cool if you can add some nice woods like spanish cedar or arctic birch to the sortiment cause they are only available at custom shops where the prices starts at 5000€. And to be honest I did not see a big diffrence between the standart guitar companys nowdays. A affortable guitar for arround 700€ from for example washburn sounds verry equal to ltd, sechter and the other brands cause they all use the same spacks :( Most guitars are mahagohni body, rosewood fretboard, mapel neck and loaded with emgs or duncans that is just borring imo.
The server is as slow as my sweep picking right now... UPDATE: OK so the experience should be a bit better now, I think no-one was prepared for the amount of guitar nerds who would try to access the site all at the same time. If it's not working for you, try again at a later time. Thanks for the patience!
Oh my Lord... that Explorer is a beauty. Hey Mr. Santa ^^ there is still room under my tree. I wish you and your brand/company the best of luck and all the great memories you can get. Rock on and stay tuned.
Any future plans on doing something ML/Stealth inspired? Dean hasn't been great lately and it would be awesome to have something created by a Dimebag fan for Dimebag fans. Way to go on the solar company.
Just purchased a Solar T1.6 and was curious at the beginning of Solar. Finally found this video, it's great to see the start of the brand and what a long way you made in these years. Good luck in the future, love my Solar and Your channel! :)
Congrats Ola!! Taking a giant leap for guitarist's in a saturated market. You bring alot of new ideas and goals for the future of these instruments. Always stay true to your vision!!
Wow... What a guitar. Im honestly blown away. I just got mine (artist model, with evertune) yesterday, and I was in for a surprise. First, looks incredibly good! Stealthy and mean. Playing on it is effortless- very comfortable, good balance, and it has been set up perfectly. After a close inspection honestly I cant find anything not to like. The built quality and hardware is great, and feels like it can be relied upon for a long time. Solar pickups sound balanced, rich and clear with high gain tones. And what made my day is the amount of "hearty"care that came with the guitar: a case, The Haunted vinyl and a CD with bonus tracks,a tablature book and other little treats. At the end of the day, all of this shows the amount of care and appreciation you get from sOLAr. Im trying hard not to sound like a commercial :) Anyway, lastly i want to say thank you Ola for starting your own brand and for such a great product. Best of luck for the next models to come. -Filip
Congratulations Ola!! Please don't forget about the lefty players like myself. Love your work and your guitars and always a fan. Would love to own on of these amazing guitars! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hola Ola, so glad to see you show love to every type of player, been waiting long for some cool modern design with a floyd rose, good luck on your new project
Great that you made Solar Guitars reality. I've been looking forward to it and stocking myself with a Solar V in the future would be awensome. Hope all goes well along the entrepreneurial way. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Cheerz!!!
Man, the Washburn Solar is by far my favorite guitar I have owned, and all my band mates always ask me to take it with me when I come over. I can’t wait to support your new venture my man. I was gonna get a better amp, buy if your new line is anything like the Washies, I’ll GLADLY wait. Love you Ola!
Ola, you could do a 28" (or longer) baritone as well. We only have the RGIB6 and two newer Chapman models. Your blue Solar Baritone, which is 26,5", could also have a 28" sister! The specs fits perfectly. It could also have an Evertune if possible, as it helps with intonation and looser strings being in tune - something required for lower tunings. It would make a lot of us happy!
This is amazing, congrats Ola!!! Just ordered the limited edition V Type! Can’t wait, it’s perfect timing since I’m going to start recording some music before the end of the year!
Awesome stuff Ola. Great following you on your journey. Would love to own one of these guitars, & will definitely be getting a press pack your way. Congratulations.
Hi Ola. It makes me feel very happy that people now have opportunity to feel your personal taste in guitars. Even though i can't afford one of your Solar guitars (I'm studying at university so any coin matters) I'm sure that your own company will succeed. Greets and I'm waiting for new videos :)
Stoked for you Ola. I've been playing my Washburn Solar non stop since I got it, can't wait to get my hands on a SOLAR! The trans red blood has my name on it.
Holy fuck those prices are great for those specs... Good shit man. These are some of the absolute best looking superstrats and V's I've ever seen in my life. Those pronounced cutaways on the Type A's are so god damn stylish
I couldn’t find my comment, here goes again: Our best wishes and success in this project, Ola. Greetings from #Venezuela 🤘🏽😎🎸 (type E in Red with chrome hardware and floating bridge is my flavor)
Please keep the limited run stuff to a minimum, some of us will fall in love with something and not have the money for a while. Im glad your solar project is going great and thank you for the contribution. \m/
Nicely done! I know your target audience is mostly the metal community but it would be nice, once you have success with this launch, to see some more 'rock' focussed finishes and shapes. Good luck!
Today I was looking at the Washburn website, well, because I lke to look at guitars, and I was searching for your guitar, opened youtube and boom! Edit this was the 69th comment so pls Ola gimme a hug
Awesome dude. Well done. The site seems to work great, and has the necessary info well organized. You really have great vision, it can only become a great success!
Ola, I have always liked your Washburn solars for their - just like you said - simple elegance. These look fantastic, especially the explorer style model. I might have to sell my Jackson RR24 and get one of these..
My E1.6C arrived today and it feels like it is carved out of STONE Instead of wood!!! Extremely well made. I mean EXTREMELY well made!!! I cannot find anything negative to say about it... I've never touched a guitar this well made. Maybe they are out there somewhere but definitely not at any of the guitar centers nearby.
Grattis Ola! Hörde dig på Guitargeeks podcast (men har varit ett fan sedan långt innan dess) och blev väldigt intresserad av nya märket! Dundercoolt! Dom lät jävligt bra när The Haunted lirade i Göteborg senast!

Ola Englund Thank you from a lefty! Please dont forget.
Fantastic! South paws get very little love. If you sell a lefty 7 with an evertune for ballpark $1000 you got a customer right here my friend!
I try to be patient (although its not easy) but as soon as you offer a 7 string lefty with a floyd you'll definitely have me!

Congratulations dude and the best of luck to you, I will definitely share this :-)

You're a victim of your own success Ola!
Ha is it ever slow as Fuck !
Guess it's time to upgrade the servers ;)
I'm a software developer and have dealt with this kind of problem often times before. Tell me if you want some help
I was about to ask for one with the maple neck and boom it's the fucking type S for Satan😂
Please tell me that Solar Otamatone will be available!
Dainius Vyšniauskas Might be the only thing I can afford tbh
This is the issue at hand.
Needs and OLA inlay and a FEARED skull instead of the mouth.
Oh my Lord... that Explorer is a beauty. Hey Mr. Santa ^^ there is still room under my tree.
I wish you and your brand/company the best of luck and all the great memories you can get.
Rock on and stay tuned.
So sick. Congratulations for the launch. I‘m challenging everyone to make Solar Guitars sold out of all shippable guitars in 24 hours. (Fire Emoji)
I cant even reach the website anymore.... :D
congrats Ola! Stoked to see this brand become a household name in metal guitars
You've blown up congratulations you deserve it for making such a high quality guitars that we can afford thanks ola...
Ola Englund Congratulations! I check the site all beautiful and powerful guitars! Love the type V.
Regards from Portugal!

Hola Ola, so glad to see you show love to every type of player, been waiting long for some cool modern design with a floyd rose, good luck on your new project
Very beautiful, these axes! Congrats Mr. Englund!
HI OLA!!! Congratulations on your new brand!!! The guitars look amazing! I hope that there will be a lefthanded 7 string in the future...
Maybe a V that innovates having its controls at the top and has a reverse headstock? :P
Ola! They look amazing! Really happy for you man! Keep up the amazing work!
Great that you made Solar Guitars reality. I've been looking forward to it and stocking myself with a Solar V in the future would be awensome. Hope all goes well along the entrepreneurial way. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Cheerz!!!

Awesome Ola, congrats on this new path of your life, perhaps one day I'm going to see one of these beauties at close!
Congratulations man! So fucking cool to see you at the helm of your own guitar brand.

Congrats! Will checkout once the web page is up again ;)
In for one. I was itching to pick up a V style guitar. I love the design of these guitars. Congrats dude!
Holy fuck those prices are great for those specs... Good shit man. These are some of the absolute best looking superstrats and V's I've ever seen in my life. Those pronounced cutaways on the Type A's are so god damn stylish
Congrats 🍾 on the launch and the brand man.
Im all over those S models. If only i could acess the website :( Super happy for you Ola!
Hey Ola, good luck with your new business, hope it is successful. I like that you have an Exploper style guitar.
WOW Enhorabuena Ola! Deseoso estoy de probar alguna!
A ver si me hago con una de estas y preparo unas reviews :D
congrats! looking forward to a future purchase!
Awesome! Congratulations!
These prices are great, can't wait to get my hands on one. Hope to place an order in the not too distant future 😎

I have the Washburn Solar 7 and I absolutely love it. It's a perfect guitar.
Nicely done! I know your target audience is mostly the metal community but it would be nice, once you have success with this launch, to see some more 'rock' focussed finishes and shapes. Good luck!
website crashing!! its a good sign
Looking forward to Solar Success, and it's on the short wish list of future acquisitions for me.
Today I was looking at the Washburn website, well, because I lke to look at guitars, and I was searching for your guitar, opened youtube and boom!
Edit this was the 69th comment so pls Ola gimme a hug
Awesome dude. Well done. The site seems to work great, and has the necessary info well organized. You really have great vision, it can only become a great success!
Ola, I have always liked your Washburn solars for their - just like you said - simple elegance. These look fantastic, especially the explorer style model. I might have to sell my Jackson RR24 and get one of these..
Great news I've been waiting for this!! I will own one of these as soon as I pay off my Jackson RR24.
Finally!!! I’m so excited to grab a solar!
Nice, Man! So fucking proud of you! Brings a tear to my eyeball.
Ouuuu baby. That explorer style Solar is calling my name!
My E1.6C arrived today and it feels like it is carved out of STONE Instead of wood!!! Extremely well made. I mean EXTREMELY well made!!! I cannot find anything negative to say about it... I've never touched a guitar this well made. Maybe they are out there somewhere but definitely not at any of the guitar centers nearby.
Must have gotten the bugs out. Solar website opened up fine for me. Definitely will put the word out. Congrats!
Best of luck shall spread the word!!
Good Job Ola, Congratulations!
Dude thats the sickest take on an explorer shape ive seen yet. I may have to get one.
Grattis Ola! Hörde dig på Guitargeeks podcast (men har varit ett fan sedan långt innan dess) och blev väldigt intresserad av nya märket!
Dundercoolt! Dom lät jävligt bra när The Haunted lirade i Göteborg senast!
Congratulations Ola! I hope to get one (I already have solar Washburn hahah) is there any chance solar guitars can make basses in the future?
Så självklart att en vit Solar E ersätter min svarta LTD Explorer. Så grymt Ola. Hope this takes off.
