That low horn just looks wrong to me. The angle looks off.
Also move that bridge further towards the ass...

The upper horn is not much better. And the body is not really a good match for the headstock either.
I love explorers but at least IMHO this doesn't look as good as most explorers, and it doesn't look as good as most Solars either.

I might be wrong but I think the reason the E-series looks like that is because it takes heavy inspiration from the Washburn Stealth (one of Ola's favorite guitars).

If solar ever makes a pointy star shape like a stealth or culprit my wallet would be in troubleI might be wrong but I think the reason the E-series looks like that is because it takes heavy inspiration from the Washburn Stealth (one of Ola's favorite guitars).

Ooooooohhhh! It all makes sense now.
Honestly if Ola ever did a decent looking ML style guitar I would DEFINITELY try it. I'm stuck with Deans just by default but I would love for a company like Solar to give me options. And PLEASE an ML shape and not a damn Xiphos style thing. There's enough of those

this is blasphemy, there are never enough xiphos and star shapes. NEVER.
Shhhh. Stop being wrong so loudly!

Never had one but this means I really need to get that Tartarsauce have been gassing for.
MLs are vastly superior. Everyone knows this.

MLs are just bastardized stars
My tartarus is sick. I love it.

Just looking from the top, the solar explo looks off to me
Upper horn and lower horn should be aligned like the stealth
Here the horn close to the neck is going down too much

Yeah, its just a small tweak from being a Music Man/Space Age design IMO. Which I'd be totally cool with TBH.

Given how much a Pantera fanboi Ola is, I'm surprised we haven't gotten an ML/Stealth/Star shape yet.

He's actually addressed this before on his YouTube channel.
Ola won't be doing one. Not in a "we won't do XYZ" then next week launches a guitar with XYZ.
He mentioned he wouldn't do it out of respect to Dime's family and the Dimebag "estate", essentially he'd be ripping of a design massively associated with Dime.
I think he mentioned that the only way he'd do it was if he came to an agreement with the family, but he wasn't looking to do that.
Obviously I know its a more Washburn/Dean that would go after him for any reason rather than the family, but all guitars rip off another guitar's design, and it seems to be more out of respect for Dime et al.

Welll I'llll beee.
Now not only do I not like the shape, but I also know that the reason I don't like it is actually because part of the design is actually ripped of from the wrong guitar
