Ha, since the guitar is so glossy and shiny it took me a while to notice but lo and behold, appears it suffers a bit from the notorious clouding issue on some PRS guitars from that period. Fortunately it’s located in one of the least visible places possible, on the edge of the board around frets...

HNPRSD to you too! Mine is very resonant too, the big brass block on the trem undoubtedly helps. It’s so fun and easy to play and looks sooooo damn good, lol! I’ve read a lot of different opinions about the HFS but so far I like it. I’m a fan of hot and bright pickups though, like SD Full...

Thanks guys! Used to own an SC250 AP and while it was an amazing guitar this Custom is something else... I was originally looking for an S2 CU24 / CE24 but when I stumbled on this one I just had to have it!

One of these has been a bucket list guitar for me, finally got one for my own birthday gift and it’s even better than it looks! 2013 CU24 Artist Pack Charcoal drop burst Ebony fretboard and headstock veneer Hybrid hardware HFS / VB

I have no issues with the heel joint, I rarely venture that high up the fretboard but I just wanted to say again that goddamn these guitars rock, especially with the bridge pickups swapped!

Can’t blame him, if you don’t hate the super wizard neck these are one of the best bang for buck guitars on the market now. Everything else besides the pickups is top quality. Anyway, I got my purple one earlier and was blown away with the quality. I had to return my yellow Solar because of...

Sorry, mistaking me for someone else :)

I love how well these are made compared to other similarly priced guitars. Fit, finish and setup are perfect out of the box. Pickups are the weakest link, not horrible but nothing special, fortunately they’re easy to swap. I’m thinking about getting a matte black HH pickguard and a 3 way...

Oops, I did it again! I ended up liking the purple one so much I absolutely needed to have one in yellow too. Put a DiMarzio Super 3 in the bridge on the yellow one, blocked the trem and made it one kick ass rock guitar! Also upgraded the bridge pu on the purple one, it has a DiMarzio...

My Mexican Charvel DK24 has worse fret ends than my Solars but some similar finish inconsistencies. I’ve found out that current guitars in the ~1000€/$/£ price range are great spec wise but there’s always a chance of some finish and qc issues.

Quality's on par with other guitars in the same price range, although based on the 5 Solars I’ve played fretwork seems to be better than on most other brands.

Yeah, good looking guitar, just not my cup of tea, lol Still interested in the A1.6LN and the new purple one, I just don’t want to order direct because of the issues I’ve had.

It is basically paper thin. I can see the body wood color differences through the top veneer on my A1.6FB between the pieces glued together. The top veneers are strictly for looks on all Solars.

You can clearly see the veneer thickness at the volume and tone knob recesses. That darker shade is the body wood.

That’s the binding. The top is not as thick as the binding height.

On my A1.6FB the veneer is as thick as the depth of the volume and tone pot recesses....

More like .5-1mm thick...

All the Solar textured flame and quilt tops are thin veneers.

Not sure what the consumer right policy is in UK now but I guess if you order online (even if you pick up at the store) you should still get a 14 day no questions asked right to return.

UK store absolutely, especially if they have a free return policy. Solar won’t compensate return shipping if you’re not satisfied.
