Seems to happen every year. If I ever go I am not shaking any hands and will wipe down any gear I handle. I would rather be the germaphobe guy for a few days then get deathly ill for a week. Get better man. And thanks for making this video while you are recovering.
1 year sober today! I'm very grateful for my wonderful girlfriend, my family and all my friends that have supported me in my recovery against drug addiction. Thank you Ola for all your content, your videos always makes me laugh. Peace and Love.
@@S_Groff hey man it happens at least you are getting back on the wagon. These posts help me as well. I take for granted being sober sometimes. And sometimes I need the reminder that its very possible for me to relapse at any time and that I shouldnt get too overconfident and let my guard down.
@@paulcalvert2099 There are so many people at the NAMM trade show in LA all playing the same instruments, shaking hands, high fiving, or hugging... It's very common that people get sick after attending. They've taken to calling it NAMMthrax after the disease Anthrax (not the band).
I don't know why... But when I glimpsed at the title, my brain read "astronaut in sexy latex" .... I've just finished a 12 hour night shift, so I should probably sleep..
Speaking of sobriety. February 12th is my 9 year anniversary of getting clean. But let's go with a question as well, Ola, what is a guitar shape not in the solar lineup that you like(besides the ML)?
You lost subscribers all through this video but still managed to end it higher than you started! Love seeing your channel grow, you deserve it for all the hard work you’ve been putting it!
About the matte finish becoming glossed over time, 3M makes a 3000 grit sand paper in the form of a sponge that works well with a little bit of water. It will work perfect. It will not leave scratches or damage the paint and it will give you the same matte appearance.
Hi there Ola! If you like Scandinavian Folklore in metal, and insane riffage blended with slamming drums and an unbelievable vocal growl range, you should check out ULFVEN and their debut album 'Folklore'! It features eight tales of different creatures or ''Väsen'' in Swedish Folklore. Skogsrået, Mylingen, Kyrkogrimmen, its got it all!!
love the nordic folklore of the day shit man its awesome! today makes a year sober for me too, and i have to say the hardest part for me was "relearning" how to play. i spent so many years playing, writing, touring, and gigging high that when i first cleaned up that i didnt know how to play sober for a long time. but i have to say that your 14 day challenges took me back to a point that made me work on fundamental stuff and helped me sooo much!!! thank you dude! youre awesome! always been of fan of all your bands and your channel is amazing! thanks for everything man!
uncommon opinion but because the Solar singlecut has a 6 in line headstock it negates the tedious tuning stability issues that most LP shapes have due to the strings not hitting the fretboard dead on but at an angle. So with that in mind the Solar singlecut is actually a better design than a traditional LP shape.
Hey Ola, a lot of people asked you to produce a lefty Solar model, which you duly did. Are you able to provide an indication of how well these models then sold? I always see lefties pleading for new models, I wonder how many actually then buy them when they become available. Cheers 😃
Get well soon Ola. here's a question on the evertune which i hope you can answer....does it hold low tuning well? say A standard on a 25.5" scale 6 string..would it still have intonation problems?
Hej Ola! Thank you for doing another great video despite the illness! Get well soon! I love the Solar designs and I have to say that this single-cut is probably the only one that I like (I am generally not a fan of single-cuts) and it works great with the inline headstock. I've got two questions for you - what are your thoughts about multi-scale guitars and 8-string models? Are you considering such designs for Solar? Tack så mycket!
Cheers to the sober guy! I have a year and 4 months off opiates. It gets better and the side effects will pass. Hope you or the girlfriend read this. I would be dead or in prison had I continued. Be thankful for what you have. Like a great girl in your life.
Congrats you should be past PAWS now huh? It really does get better each day. I have several years under my belt that I forget how bad the Acute and PAWS withdrawals plus how bad being strung out was then I see post that remind me that Im lucky.
Yeah it was terrible getting off that shit. I did not sleep for a month, no joke. Still adjusting to not being high all the time. Holding a job, playing music, talking to people etc is almost new to me since I was on that stuff for so long. Cheers man.
@@blakecurtis7809 I know how that was. Its like breaking up with a long term relationship. It probably took me almost a year to sleep a full night and I got fat cause I started eating again. Took me forever to lose the weight.
What you all seem to forget is that there hasn't been one from any of those companies in years, and there's nothing on the used market. That's why I plead Ola to do it.
**No Question** So last night I was casually hanging out at a rather chilled gig (Wolf in the Throne Room, At the Gates and Behemoth), the pit was raging, the bands were awesome. Can you imagine my surprise and joy seeing not 1 but 2 solar guitars being masterfully played by Jonas Stålhammar and Martin Larsson as At the Gates came onto the stage! I only saw the silhouette of the head stock and immediately knew they were Solar Guitars! What beautiful axes! I wanted to provide some positive feedback, it is so nice seeing how far your guitars have come and how such a new brand can make some huge changes in the industry! Keep up the hard work and as a casual guitar player I hope one to to also own one of your guitars! The new c-cut looks awesome and I really like the look of the Type E as well! Sorry for no question!
Hi Ola! Get well soon! Love your work and that new single cut looks awesome. Actually all the Solar guitars are killer looking. Keep up the great work.😎🤘🏼
Get well soon, Ola! Something that would be really cool (probably only for me) is a 7-string with a Floyd Rose. I would buy that in a heart beat! I am eyeing that white one with the FR as well.
Get well soon! Looking forward to buying a Solar this year, i'm considering the BOP A model, but they are all lovely! A baritone would be nice to have also! :)
You look like a modern day Geralt of Rivia that plays guitar! Love the videos Ola! I'm picking up guitar this year because of your attitude and approach to your channel.
Hey Ola. You're a big inspiration to me and has been a huge help in realizing not to be afraid to release my music and to sound like myself. Those were big inhibitions for me, and hard obstacles to overcome. So, thank you for talking about that and showing people not to be afraid
I just built my first kiesel and received it a few weeks ago. It's phenomenal. My build has a floyd rose, jumbo stainless frets, Flamed maple top, satin finish, ash body, rear natural finish, and a tung oil neck. I went with a few of the fancier options and ended up spending about $2000 but if you don't get crazy with the build you can get an exceptional value for what you get. For about $1300 total you can get an american made guitar with stainless frets in a hardtail configuration with a nice gig bag ($30 more for the hardcase option). You pick the size frets, paint color, satin vs gloss, Ebony fretboard standard. Pretty incredible. It won't be my last Kiesel that's for sure.
If you like bags, check out 5.11. I have the Rush 72. It's great. I am an Audio Engineer, Backline Technician and musician. My logic in getting this bag, over 5 years ago (it's still perfect), was that if it can survive warfare, it can survive a gig. The 72 is probably too big for most people but, when you wear as many hats in production as I do, it's great to have room for all my gear. Much love, brother. Keep kicking ass!
Hey Captain Ola! thank you so much for my signed Synder album! i cuddle it to sleep every night. im absolutely loving my Solar 7 string, and i was wondering if you were planning on any more body styles in 7. thanks for all you bring to the metal community in music, gear, and awesome content. youre a true legend \m/
Hello ola, i recieved a solar guitar as a gift, played for over a month now, an a2.6tm, and I have to say, i own prs, esp, fender, ect, and ive been playing for 25 years, this thing outplays guitars 4 times the cost, amazing product and love the videos, thanks and keep it up
I don't fucking understand how someone would unsubscribe from this channel. You are constantly putting out quality videos and quality instruments. This channel is nothing like some channels, who I will not mention, that just get stale and boring. Your passion for what you do is infectious and inspiring. KEEP UP THE GOOD SHIT. GLOBAL OLA DOMINATION.
I love my Evertune guitar, in addition to it`s main function it also makes lower notes more clear so no need in longer scale length and thicker strings
I still enjoyed your video Ola!! I am also sick, had the fever all day and spent 4 hours playing my DOF ML but didn’t enjoy it.cant sleep love your work continue it and hope you get well bro!
Glad you checked out Intronaut. They are one of my favorite bands, after Gojira and Meshuggah for sure, but up there. They play some very hard-to-follow poly-rhythms, using the drummer to tie it all together, much like what was done on Capt Beefheart's 1960's track, Trout Mask Replica, only way more musical. I've probably learned more tough drumming tricks from Intronaut than I have from Meshuggah, which is saying something. You should really check out their tracks "Sul Ponticello" and "Digital Gerrymandering." Mind-blowing musicianship.
Will solar guitars come out in North American stores like Long and McQuade music. I am a big fan of Jackson and Ibanez feel and sound how does it compare to those brands?
And seriously, doing a FAQ while you are sick is a special treat. I was like, yeah, it would be cool if Ola made a new video and it came out: wow, it's even cooler when he is sick, like it has a special value for us followers. We all know how it is, feeling like crap and everything is weird and you did it anyway. Thumbs up for that!
Hey Ola. Love your FAQ videos. It's always the first thing I watch Sunday morning. Looking forward to the new solo album. With the way you described the many genres included, how did it feel to step away from just playing metal? I find it's fun to blend styles together like the band 12 Foot Ninja, where one minute your playing a heavy ass riff then blend in some jazz or somba. You should check them out. Fun band from Australia. Always enjoy your content, keep up the good work.
Super stoked to have found your channel man! You’re an amazing guitarist and you’re down to earth and relatable, unlike some of these other similar channels. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too familiar with your work before I stumbled on the channel but I’m pleasantly surprised. Not to mention your company is making some sick fn guitars! You sir are an inspiration! Keep up the great work and I hope 2019 treats you well! 🤘🏻 P.S. Hope you’re feeling better
Hello Ola from Greece , as far as listening to music which set up is best according to your opinion ??? Studio monitors , hi-fi monitors or any 5.1 Logitech-style woofer and speaker system ????
Hey Ola. I'm the same way with bags and backpacks. I have tons of em and only use a few. I feel you brother. Love the vids and the guitars. Keep it up bro!
Hi positive Ola. I thought you used one of those USB pedal power supplies in a video a while ago but I couldn’t find it. If you did, which one was it? I just moved and don’t have a lot of outlets in my basement to use.
any chance of any dimension to the face of super strat models? Rather than a single extruded form. The recesses at the neck are cool, the rest is flat. filleted edges, arm cut back etc
I like the black logo on the dark finger board on your single cut. I like the flat and gloss logo! I have a Chapman ML1, should have got a Solar, but it was a Guitar Center trade. I want to change the pickups. I want a sound more like your sound. What pickups would you recommend? I’m sure it would be Seymour Duncan. For the bridge. Should I go JB, or Custom? I hope you get well soon, and your family doesn’t catch the flu.
Hi Ola I was wondering if you'd design a Double Cutaway Guitar the has the same shape and body logo as the Single Cut you were holding in most of the FAQ from February 2nd?
Where can I get more specs on the solar guitars? Like nut width fretboard width at 12th fret etc? I play Ibanez jems mostly and I like a wide flatter fretboard
You know what, I am a Gibson purist. I have 7 of them (+ a V). But your single cut looks killer. I think it looks better than the ESP's single cut. I think you did a good job with it.
Hey Ola, me again, you told me about cover videos to maybe include tablature and I was wondering how you do live tablature through the video like in your playthrough vids. Thanks
I would be sooo happy for that camera! (No?) Episode idea: Suitcases and bags for a traveling musician! I get obsessed with this when I travel. Actually, Solar travel gear would be awesome!
After you discovered Intronaut, you should check out Dunable guitars. They were also at NAMM and Sacha Dunable is also the singer and guitar player of the band. He makes some killer guitars!
Ola! I noticed from the Solar guitar Instagram page that different S1.6 Burst guitars could have very different looking finishes (I'm mostly concerned with the size of the burst area). How do we know we are getting the look that we wanted and saw on the website?
hey ola, thanks for the music and guitars love the new single cut.Have you ever listened to Acid Bath? When the kite string pops is my favorite album check it out. Thanks hope you feel better.
Ola i am saving up for that single cut, black with white binding, the reverse headstock is fantastic. Will it be available without the big logo on the body?
Ola Awesome as always. love the badass new guitar would like to try one out some day anyway have played many multi scale guitars if so how do you like it
Hey Ola! Whats your thougts about acoustic treatment for your homestudio? Im currently building a room in my house and im not sure how to treat in when its ready. Do u use anything in your room? Absorbers, diffusers etc? Keep up the good work!
Never understood the anger towards the 6 in line on a single cut. Stand out be different. Also, would you classify the Tele as a single cut, 6 in line there.
Ola, the RX100 is a great piece of gear, best travelling camera for PHOTOGRAPHERS i´ve came around. for videos I do not have an opinion, but for photography it is GREAT.
Hey Ola, was there a time that you had to use plugins instead of actual amps for a proper recording? How much did it work for you? What do you think of the people who bats they eye too much their eyeballs almost fall off when they find out that plugins are used for a recording instead of the real deal?
Sorry for the Nammthrax BUT stay tuned this coming week for first single from the new album!
Keeeen
Send me a Solar guitar and I'll give you the antidote
Now we know where Glen got it from.
Seems to happen every year. If I ever go I am not shaking any hands and will wipe down any gear I handle. I would rather be the germaphobe guy for a few days then get deathly ill for a week. Get better man. And thanks for making this video while you are recovering.

Keep pushing brother. I am on day 8 after a two year relapse. Seeing this helps me believe in myself again. One day at a time!
Congrats man.
@@S_Groff hey man it happens at least you are getting back on the wagon. These posts help me as well. I take for granted being sober sometimes. And sometimes I need the reminder that its very possible for me to relapse at any time and that I shouldnt get too overconfident and let my guard down.
Good job, Mr. Heikius! Best wishes for continued and perpetual sobriety. 🤘👍
well done mate! keep strong!
Dude I got NAMMthrax as well and everyone else I know :(. Get better soon dude!
Robert Baker Nammthrax? Can you explain?
All the guitars you played were contaminated
Get well soon brotha
My goal is NAMMthrax next year! Ok, maybe not the thrax but the NAMM part. Been quite a few years since I last went, I miss it.

Coffee with Ola with Jeff Loomis? Edit it happened, was amazing
Yea WTF? WHERE IS THAT VIDEO
I too have been wondering about this.
Heck yeah, get Keith Merrow too!
Empty Words 1995 kmac would be fun, or nergal
Jeff loomis with keith merrow and use your Swedish persuasion to make them write another conquering dystopia albulm
Ola, hope you feel better! That guitar is BADASS!! I will own that one. Please leave the logo & that color. Do you know how much the guitar weighs? =)
The headstock that way will actually help the guitar stay in tune (no sharp angles at the nut).
At this point, F.A.Q. stands for "Funny Answered Questions"!
Hey what does the S and R in solar stand for?
Best cmnt.
:D
I don't know why... But when I glimpsed at the title, my brain read "astronaut in sexy latex" .... I've just finished a 12 hour night shift, so I should probably sleep..

@@alyusdickey9561 haha genius typo!
Domicidal Covers probably would help lol

You lost subscribers all through this video but still managed to end it higher than you started! Love seeing your channel grow, you deserve it for all the hard work you’ve been putting it!
hi OlA pls giv me virtuel Hug ThaSNk
For that he relies on his virtual girlfriend.
Ola gave me a virtual hug once, but I held on to long and now have to stay at least 50 meters from him.
Rudy, you must have a clone to be everywhere at once.
Kevin Iaquinto i has no lif therefor i ask for virtuel hugh
Hope you get well soon and really like how there is now 1440p 50 available.
Hi Ola, I'm looking forward to seeing The Haunted when you come out to Brisbane, Australia. Did you manage to have a look at Ormsby guitars at Namm?
Keep kicking ass and feel better! I hope you get to try a Kiesel. I Love mine and I'd love your take on them. Feel better brother!
Ola, What did you do as a full-time job or career before your youtube career gained such popularity?
accountant
Accountant, porn star, superhero actually...
About the matte finish becoming glossed over time, 3M makes a 3000 grit sand paper in the form of a sponge that works well with a little bit of water. It will work perfect. It will not leave scratches or damage the paint and it will give you the same matte appearance.
Hi there Ola!
If you like Scandinavian Folklore in metal, and insane riffage blended with slamming drums and an unbelievable vocal growl range, you should check out ULFVEN and their debut album 'Folklore'!
It features eight tales of different creatures or ''Väsen'' in Swedish Folklore.
Skogsrået, Mylingen, Kyrkogrimmen, its got it all!!
love the nordic folklore of the day shit man its awesome! today makes a year sober for me too, and i have to say the hardest part for me was "relearning" how to play. i spent so many years playing, writing, touring, and gigging high that when i first cleaned up that i didnt know how to play sober for a long time. but i have to say that your 14 day challenges took me back to a point that made me work on fundamental stuff and helped me sooo much!!! thank you dude! youre awesome! always been of fan of all your bands and your channel is amazing! thanks for everything man!
Hi ola what is your opinion on Daron malakian?
Intronaut is my favorite band of all time! Thanks for checking them out 🤙🏽

So with that in mind the Solar singlecut is actually a better design than a traditional LP shape.
This, my first thought when I saw the 6 in line
The logo and the headstock seriously kicks ass on the guitar Ola. I hope it stays feel better soon.
Ola you should check out Demolition Hammer!!! There a late 80s thrash band from NY! Please listen to the song/album Epidemic of violence!
Sure he knows them. Still second this of course
And they've just been booked for Brutal Assault 2019
I have never wanted a guitar more than I want a SOLAR single cut! It looks sick and I want it. The headstock looks amazing on that singlecut! Love it!
Hey Ola, a lot of people asked you to produce a lefty Solar model, which you duly did. Are you able to provide an indication of how well these models then sold? I always see lefties pleading for new models, I wonder how many actually then buy them when they become available. Cheers 😃

Speaking of bags and luggage, I saw an original Boss HM-2 backpack on ebay recently, a promo from NAMM 1983....it looks just like the pedal. $400.
and the same size? I wouldn't have thought it would hold very much though. . .

Hi, Ola! Love your videos! I hope you feel better!
Yes. No other company makes a 7 string V. Except for Dean..and Jackson...and B.C. Rich.
Chris Wiles ESP, Schecter, the list continues... but it would be sick to see it
@@alyusdickey9561 indeed, There was a Washburn solar 7 string V, i keep waiting for another one... 🙁

And Caparison.

Sick Ola is still vastly more amusing than most the content creators out there. Keep up the good work man!

H! Ola. I know you were using GHS Strings. I would like to Know what string Gauge combination You use for the D Standard for The Haunted. Thank You.
The telecaster is a single cut guitar with six in a line headstock.
Personally, U prefer 3+3 or at most 4+2 - especially on SC's...

Hi positive Ola. I thought you used one of those USB pedal power supplies in a video a while ago but I couldn’t find it. If you did, which one was it? I just moved and don’t have a lot of outlets in my basement to use.
@OlaEnglund. 7 string T style solar guitar with hardtail? Definitely seems like it would sell also are the available in the U.S.
any chance of any dimension to the face of super strat models? Rather than a single extruded form. The recesses at the neck are cool, the rest is flat. filleted edges, arm cut back etc
I like the black logo on the dark finger board on your single cut. I like the flat and gloss logo! I have a Chapman ML1, should have got a Solar, but it was a Guitar Center trade. I want to change the pickups. I want a sound more like your sound. What pickups would you recommend? I’m sure it would be Seymour Duncan. For the bridge. Should I go JB, or Custom? I hope you get well soon, and your family doesn’t catch the flu.
Ola, what is easier to learn how to play. A 4 string Bass or a electric Rhythm/lead guitar ?
The one you are more interested in.
Hi Ola I was wondering if you'd design a Double Cutaway Guitar the has the same shape and body logo as the Single Cut you were holding in most of the FAQ from February 2nd?
Can you get the guys from Entombed or Dismember on coffee with Ola, Ola?
Where can I get more specs on the solar guitars? Like nut width fretboard width at 12th fret etc? I play Ibanez jems mostly and I like a wide flatter fretboard
omg, coffee with Devin will be epic! Really looking forward to that. just bought tickets for Devins concert in Oslo :-D
Hi ola is there a chance of us seeing a solar iceman guitar? And could you please do a Daron Malakian tone guide please??
You know what, I am a Gibson purist. I have 7 of them (+ a V). But your single cut looks killer. I think it looks better than the ESP's single cut. I think you did a good job with it.
Hey Ola, me again, you told me about cover videos to maybe include tablature and I was wondering how you do live tablature through the video like in your playthrough vids. Thanks
I would be sooo happy for that camera! (No?) Episode idea: Suitcases and bags for a traveling musician! I get obsessed with this when I travel. Actually, Solar travel gear would be awesome!
After you discovered Intronaut, you should check out Dunable guitars. They were also at NAMM and Sacha Dunable is also the singer and guitar player of the band. He makes some killer guitars!
Ola! I noticed from the Solar guitar Instagram page that different S1.6 Burst guitars could have very different looking finishes (I'm mostly concerned with the size of the burst area). How do we know we are getting the look that we wanted and saw on the website?
Oh my... Ola you're a fucking trooper giving us this Q&A while being sick. Thanks man. Get well soon.
Hope you get better soon. Question: phaser or flanger on Deaths clean intro of "Lack of Comprehension "?
hey ola, thanks for the music and guitars love the new single cut.Have you ever listened to Acid Bath? When the kite string pops is my favorite album check it out. Thanks hope you feel better.
Hope you're better, so great that you are dedicated.
Hi Ola. Hope you are feeling better now. Do you think you'll ever play your solo material live?
Ola i am saving up for that single cut, black with white binding, the reverse headstock is fantastic. Will it be available without the big logo on the body?
Ola Awesome as always. love the badass new guitar would like to try one out some day anyway have played many multi scale guitars if so how do you like it
Get well. Thank you for toughing this week out!!
Hey Ola!
Whats your thougts about acoustic treatment for your homestudio?
Im currently building a room in my house and im not sure how to treat in when its ready.
Do u use anything in your room? Absorbers, diffusers etc?
Keep up the good work!
Never understood the anger towards the 6 in line on a single cut. Stand out be different. Also, would you classify the Tele as a single cut, 6 in line there.
I actually have a 7 inline headstock on a single cut. It's weird looking but it works for me. It comes with a Floyd Rose type whammy as well.
Ola, the RX100 is a great piece of gear, best travelling camera for PHOTOGRAPHERS i´ve came around. for videos I do not have an opinion, but for photography it is GREAT.
Hey Ola, was there a time that you had to use plugins instead of actual amps for a proper recording? How much did it work for you? What do you think of the people who bats they eye too much their eyeballs almost fall off when they find out that plugins are used for a recording instead of the real deal?
Dont worry about todays video, Ola. We're glad you were able to make this video at all. Feel better my man.
