Not exactly a Solar issue, but since the guitar in question is my Solar, I'll just ask here. My S1.6 has Evertune, which keeps the tuning really well. But ever since I got my guitar 2 years ago, I've noticed that most of the days the touch feels different, and I thought the problem is with the...

The black tele looks kinda cool, can't deny that. I hope that when these start to arrive at people, we can get a realistic view on these things and really talk about the pros and the cons honestly. Not saying that the discussion has been dishonest or anything like that, but sometimes I feel that...

Just writing some of my thoughts, I'm no expert, I might be just talking out of my ass, and English isn't my native language, so please bear with me. I totally get why Ellefson got fired. Do I agree with it? Maybe not. My point is: Megadeth is more than a 4-piece band. It is a business, which...

Has anyone else here encountered a problem with the evertune, where one of the intonation screws just stopped working? If i try to tighten it up, it feels like the screw is going to get stuck, and if I loosen the screw if starts to come up from the intonation hole - without any effect on the...

Yeah, sorry for sidetracking... But I guess you're right! Push-pull would be most simple solution and I might go with that, not that I would do the wiring by myself... Although I need to investigate this further, as I recall reading here or somewhere else that there have been some issues with...

Okay, I've been wondering now that the arrival of my S1.6PB Ltd draws closer, that I want to make it my personal ultimate studio/recording guitar. I've been playing close to 15 years, without ever releasing any guitar related music, because working the guitar with vsti synths requires (in my...

And this has been already cleared up, I was worried for nothing! I guess the lockdown has made me really paranoid... Alright, more guitars, less worrying!

Oh man, I totally missed that! That would've been even more better than what I ordered... Oh well, it's better not to dwell on what I could've gotten, or so I try to say to myself haha I just hope that everything goes well with the order, as the url for the guitar I ordered (S1.6ETPB LTD) has...

I just happened to browse Solar website, and noticed that some models from 2019 were back to store... Next thing I know, I'm filling out my shipping information on the S1.6 PB LTD, which is (based on my observations) exactly the same guitar as the 'non-LTD' version of the S1.6PB, with the...

Thank you, this is exactly what I've b een feeling ever since I've made my decision to get a Solar as my next guitar - and that decision haven't changed. Frustration is the right word, and anxiety, for I'm afraid that they'll stop producing those poplar burl tops with cool colors before they get...

Damn, that's very unfortunate! I really hope that you'll be able to get things settled nicely, be sure to post what you can about the outcome! Just some of my thoughts: These kind of mistakes in finishes still seem so weird to me, I've owned several 1000-series LTDs which are in the same...

It's an expensive gamble then... I guess it's better for me to wait for a while before ordering again, sucks but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. Thank you for answering!

How was the return process? I'm in a situation right now, where I cancelled my order and it seems that Solar has a new batch of guitars in store, so I might just order again and hope to get a good looking guitar and just return it if the guitar isn't what I wanted. But if I need to pay for the...

Agreed, the control layout if perfect, and overall look and options are really killer! I'll be waiting to summer to get myself the purpleburst, unless Solar releases the Lime Green version in 6 string variant again...

I ended up cancelling my order on S1.6PP too, kinda shame but oh well... I'll try ordering again in a month or two, and maybe I'll order it from Thomann, just because their policy on return shipping and maybe order other stuff at the same time - and I'm not dissing Solars policies at all here...

Big salute for Ola and Xavier and all the guys at Solar, answering within two hours of sending them an email, that is kinda rare these days!

You're 100% right and I completely agree with you, it's easy to start blaming things before things have even happened and I'm more than guilty in that sense. And you're right also in that sense that why I didn't even think about writing an email to Solar? I must be getting finally old, I'll...

Yeah that kinda sucks too! The biggest problem here for me, is the lack of communication: if they indeed have changed designs on preorder guitars, would it really been too much to ask that they email those who have already paid for the preorder along the lines of "hey, we changed this and that...

I don't know, maybe I'm oldfashioned but if this is the case, it would be kinda nice to get some information from Solar and Ola and get some updates and everything. As of now, I've paid my 12 months of savings in advance to preorder a guitar that might come out completely different looking than...

I wonder if the Covid19-situation has finally started affecting shipping around EU, as the Solar website now states that for the S1.6PP shipping starts at the end of May...
