Very awesome man, I dig how stripped down the Solar S's are. And you got a killer neck![]()
You would think after 10 months of being made that it would come out perfect
10 months?! That seems like a long wait...so HN(long awaited)GD.
Edit: Thanks for posting that video; I recall a wood seller I talked to had mentioned something like this, and it's cool to see where that sentiment came from.

mod edit: if you want to point out an actual flaw that's one thing, but let's not just be a dick in somebody's NGD, mmm'kay?
I think it's in the wood rather than a factory mistake.
I've never seen ebony with marks like that. Ever. Streaks yes, but drop-like marks? Never.
Clean looking axe though bro. Brutal as hell!
I've seen it in rosewood more often, but it happens in ebony. Like I said, there is no such thing as an "ebony" wood, but rather many different types of wood that get nicknamed ebony.
Ebony actually is referring to a couple species of wood in the same family, but you are correct in the sense that most people call every dark, dense wood ebony, just as like a nickname or tradename. But Ebony is a real wood, in the Diospryos (or however you spell that) family. Massacar Ebony, Ceylon Ebony, Mauritius Ebony, Gabboon Ebony, etc. It most definitely is a wood genus, but, like I said above a lot of builders dye boards or simply call every dark, dense wood Ebony.
That looks almost like a stain drip, it is in between grain lines.
It's not a wood genus, it's just the name a variety of strains have adopted. Ebony is a descriptive term more than anything. It's just like Mahogany and Rosewood.
Ebony is most definitely a real wood, although, like I said above is is a term used to describe ever dark wood nowadays, but there are species of Ebony.
