Did any receive their Strictly 7 Solar 7 guitars yet?

Am I the only one who thinks the heel on these (or lack there of) is just pure art? I would just love to do some neo classical shredding on the upper registers.

I'm with you there in regards to the heel o nth Solar 7. That heel joint is just wicked!!! Can't wait to try it out. I played other Strictly 7 guitars at a local dealer, unfortunately all the guitars he had were bolt on. Still the guitars played great and had unrestricted access to the upper registers. But that neck through heel...it's in a league of it own

The only thing I dislike about the heel-with-no-heel is how it goes directly into the sharp edge, with no blending at all. But it is a source of inspiration for when (if) I can get properly started on building my own geetars.

Two for two on your amp choices

Here's a pic showing both. And yes, indeed in what I assume to be the production model (guitar on the left), the route looks a little more "snug"

What are the specs of the white solar 7? Just a white body and black binding, or is anything else different?

 

[Baco]

Same specs, just the reverse indeed.

Hi Baco,

Just wondering, When did you place your order for your Solars.
Just trying to get an idea when I might be getting mine (I placed my order in the 1st to 2nd week of Feb.)

Cheers

Jeff Loomis Co-Guitarist for his tour with Periphery got his Solar 7
Looks like the hipshot version with SD blackouts.

From Youtube:
"Joe Nurre from Shaded Enmity/Jeff Loomis Band plays "The Ultimatum". Just got the Ola Englund Solar 7 guitar from Strictly 7 guitars! They sent it to me to use for the upcoming Jeff Loomis tour. This guitar is awesome. "

I placed my order as soon as these were announced (before they started making these actually) so I guess that isn't a very good indication on build times.

I've seen a request for more porn, well, here are some pics I took at NAMM of the first Solar 7 FR (Ola's own guitar):

Plenty more pics to find in the NAMM albums on my facebook page: Guitar Candy - Shopping/Retail - Maldegem, Belgium | Facebook

I'm really looking forward to my white Solar 7

I just found out about these guitars like a month ago, theres so pretty and i really dig that there 27.5 inch scale. If I had knew about these guitars i wouldnt have bought my Ibanez rgd2127z, but i love the guitar but i would have placed an order for a Strictly 7 for a few hundred bucks more, that will b my next guitar for shure.

Just a word of caution.. brutal death metal lovers are gonna have to use a distortion pedal to overdrive their amps on this axe coz the pups arnt hot enough...or install actives
