Solar Guitars by Ola Englund

Ok, Boomers.

I'm not that old! Only in my 40's

Google is amazing you know:
“When going from a higher to a lower string gauge, tune the strings to about a half step sharp of the desired note with the tuning pegs at the headstock. Then decrease the saddle tension with the hex key in the tuning hole behind the saddle until each string is in tune. This will avoid breaking strings by trying to get saddles into Zone 2 when the tension is set too high for the smaller string gauge."

I’m going to try to help this one time. If you don’t take my advice, I’m packing up my guitar case and leaving.

GHS Boomers

OK (GHS) BOOMER

 

[ArtDecade]

No coincidence. Blacksmith did this so you would see it.

 

[Lukhas]

I can't help but think about Mustaine when I see a silver V. Even if the overall config isn't the same! A grand for a V with Floyd, stainless steel frets, DiMarzio pickups, a nice neck joint and Luminlays... there have been worse deals. I'm just not into Vs.

The factory must've had a load of surplus pickups, hardware and bodies when Dan Vadim Von pulled out as an endorser. So Ola's decided to make this low volume run to get rid of all the surplus inventory.

I'm also very surprised at how cheap they are. These guitars are going to go out of stock in a real hurry. Ola must really want these re-finished DVV's gone.

Pretty much, we had made orders for more but he left quick, so we decided to just make a couple of one offs and offer them for a good deal.

Damn pretty much the only thing holding me back from getting his signature model was the green, but damn it's my perfect 7 string! I wish more Solars had the plain maple neck and more 7 strings were 25.5". Sadly I don't have the cash right now, so they'll probably sell out before I can grab one

 

[T00DEEPBLUE]

I wonder if you sanded down the body if you would see the green paint hiding under the black.

They were not refinished, just ordered, then after order has been placed you place parts order. We had a lot of time of changing and deciding for colors before the guitars were produced even.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Please
More silver
I beg

 

[MASS DEFECT]

That army green is a pretty shade of army green. Almost like the current Mustang Bullitt car.

Yee fair play. Just playing devil's advocate.

 

[akinari]

Damn, that A1.7 with the Blaze pickups sounded massive!

 

[Soulmate]

I demand an A1 series see thru black plaintop baritone with Evertune!

 

[MadYarpen]

Mhhhm that army green. If it was v2.6 in this color, I'd be tempted. I hope they will keep this color in their offer. Still hoping to buy v2.7 one day.

 

[Louis Cypher]

That A1.7RFC is gorgeous front and back, love that neck finish

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

For real. I've been trying to talk myself into snagging a Solar since the brand launched, but that sweet new silver K7 reissue is whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Considering I've already got incurable GAS for one of the new RGs this year, I'd really like to reallocate my silver superstrat GAS to a Solar that I already wanted anyway

 

[manu80]

Wouldnt have bought my kv5 i’d have taken the silver V solar
Like said above , silver is sooooo Mustainish

so new shape soon ? Lol

 

[Metropolis]

Nice blue burst on this one.
