Dat seafoam needs to come in a 26.5 7 string.

I would like to see some metallic finishes. Matte or gloss doesn't matter.

Omg that roasted maple looks awesome.

 

[Wolfhorsky]

This roasted maple is just in perfect color. Not too dark or brown. It looks more like vintage Fender. LIKE !!!

I love this model so much, I thought I'd try some other colors I like. This shell pink is my perfect Solar.

I just ordered a Charvel DK24 2PT HSS in Shell Pink and have a pre-corona Aristides build with light richlite in Shell Pink too. If Solar were ever to release them I would buy the Shell Pink immediately.

Like this?

On a second thought, yellow fits really good in here.

But seriously, even the silver one looks really sexy, in the past I hated the look of HS guitars but this one immediately started to grow on me.

I've been thinking the same thing. Now if we can get some proper inlays for it. I would take some standard silver dots even

HOLY CRAP! bolt-on and 25.5 scale! Now on my radar. THANK YOU Mr. OLA! Can't wait to see what lies ahead. Please do a bolt version of the A1.7FR FB in and still make it a 25.5 scale! also make it dark green flame or green flame burst! Pretty please.

I'll just leave this here:

I have been in a green kick lately so I second the green ideas

Oooooh you’re a terrible person. Damn that is nasty! That neck on an E1.6 will do me in. E1.7 will be hard to say no to either.

In the words of Paris Hilton.

That's Hot

 

[MadYarpen]

Hopefully *someone* will be inspired by this haha

I like that the roasted looks roasted and normal unlike some other roasted stuff I see that looks orange.

It could just be lighting or something but yeah it's the best roasted look I've seen yet

The inlay looks even more of an eyesore on the roasted maple.

25.5 7 string, awesome! I've been waiting for it

Does anybody know which locking tuners do I have to use to replace the stock ones from a Solar 2.7c? Thanks!

 

[jl-austin]

Okay, poll, how long will this last until one of the huge guitar companies decides to buy the brand?

I want the silver one sooo bad, but I am not sure I would like ET bridge, and 1K is a little much to "experiement" with a new brand. I am definitely not saying they aren't worth it. They seem killer values, just that, I probably should have already bought a cheaper neck-thru already.

 

[binz]

May I ask what's the fuzz about having bolt on now? I thought neck-thru was 'better' or at least more expensive? I really have no idea, honest question, why do people prefer one or the other?

 

[Fred the Shred]

It's mostly a tonal thing - there's more snap to a bolt-on guitar, making your attack feel a tad different, more present if you will. In the grand scheme of things, we're talking about tonal nuance first and foremost, so it's a matter of preference and, in many cases, even caring about that sort of thing.
