I’ve had mine for a week now and I’m very impressed. Sounds like nothing else and the Torpedo cab sim works great. Here’s a crappy video clip:

It’s not flat at all. It’s like a slightly thinner Fender C.

Yeah, I have nothing bad to say about them. I had a minor issue on my A1.6FB which I reported and if I hadn’t already taken care of it myself before their reply they would’ve compensated the fix at a professional technician. Instead they offered me a discount code which I used on the A1.7 I got...

Yeah, I’m not salty about it. I also mentioned about the bridge rattle but didn’t get any response regarding that. I think they would’ve compensated a check up at a guitar technician if I had pushed it, but I still would’ve wanted to send it back. Just wanted to reply to Rocktoe’s comment about...

lol, I sent it back on my own expense within the 14 day EU right of withdrawal period. They never admitted it was any kind of a fault. Solar didn’t do anything besides providing an address to ship the guitar back to. So in the end I lost 40€. At least the A1.6FB I bought instead is perfect.

Nice! My S1.6PB was very nice although quite heavy, probably because of the mahogany body.

Gotta say - even though I wasn’t 100% sure about getting a 7 string at first - that the A1.7 has been one of, if not the most inspirational piece of equipment I’ve bought for a long, long time. Bridge pickup was a bit too mushy on the low strings for my tastes so I swapped it for a Black...

Ah, browsed the Blacksmith site but for some reason that set didn’t catch my eye, thanks! Wasn’t planning on buying Blacksmith anyway, NYXL and Ernie Ball are my go to strings.

NGD again! Does anybody know the stock string gauges on the Solar 7 string guitars? Just says 09-62 on the website... I like the feel of these and when the time comes I want to be sure to restring it with a set that feels as close as possible.

Just a short clip with the A1.6FB, love it! https://i.imgur.com/8DGMedn.mp4

A1.7C, the carbon black matte one.

Went and tried another 7 string, as expected felt weird at first but didn’t take too long until the neck started feeling manageable. Played it until I was comfortable enough to make a decision and just placed an order for an A1.7C. It was a tough choice between that and the A1.7 Artist, but...

Haha, it sure is a pretty guitar but too flashy for me personally. Would look great on a wall though! For some reason I’ve never liked quilt tops nearly as much as flame tops.

Ugh, I’m torn between ordering either the A1.6ATG or A1.7. I want a longer scale guitar for tuning to B standard, they’re both 26.5”. I don’t really have much experience with 7 string guitars (had one cheapo Ibanez briefly some 15 years ago) and my main concern is that I’d have a hard time...

I demand an A1 series see thru black plaintop baritone with Evertune!

Here it is... and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

It’s fine, I actually ordered an A1.6FB the same day I shipped the other one back. Should be here in Finland on Monday. I’ll post pics of mine here when I get it.

On my S series 5mm to the edge of the pickup cavity, about 8mm to the pickup itself.

Thanks, found some cool ones of the baritone version! I think I’m gonna go with the A1.6FB, they have that in stock and even though I kind of prefer solid color tops I love how the finish on the FB is translucent on the back too. Top veneer seems subtle enough, I have the PB one for showing off.

Just shipped the guitar back. Does anybody have or know of any additional pictures of a solar guitar with flame black matte finish? I’d love to see how the finish looks outside studio lighting and how subtle or visible the flame on the veneer is.
