One YEAR Later: SOLAR Guitar Review

In today's video, we're embarking on a musical journey that spans an entire year. I've been playing my Evertune equipped Solar T 1.6D daily, and now it's time to share my comprehensive review with all of you.

I'll provide you with in-depth insights into the construction, materials, and craftsmanship that make the Solar Guitar stand out in the crowded world of electric guitars. Is it truly a long-term investment for serious musicians?

Whether you're a guitar enthusiast, a fellow Solar Guitar owner, or someone in search of the perfect instrument, I hope this review will help you make an informed decision.

Solar should make that finish available in all of their models, IMO. The aged wood and metal parts is one of the best guitar finishes that I've seen around.

There's nothing scarier for a guitar guy to spend close to a 1000 eur on a new guitar, only to have the fretboard crack because of humidity changing

[chrisdigital]

I've had my solar 2.6 ln since 21, I oil the fretboard annually. I have had no problems.

On my Solar T I had my frets leveled. Now it is awesome. The crack in the binding here as well.

[Lovlalek]

I have an A1.6W and it came with cracks on the binding out of the box! I messaged them and asked about how it may have happened and they told me it might be because of temperature differences during shipping and gave me about $100 as compensation

[IllusionaryFuneral]

I find that Solar guitars are the most comfortable to play and sit with out of any brand of guitars, so despite half of the ones I own having binding cracking, I own 6 of them and am looking into getting a 7th. My Solars also sound the best out of all my guitars, and my Evertune models in particular have saved me hours of recording and live show headaches.

omg, that guitar tone melted me. its so good.

Solar’s are solid work horses. I have a few. Mine never cracked. The switch needed replaced in one and the pots were filthy. Cleaned those up. I generally like them. Once you have one or 2, you don’t need anymore. They’re pretty much all the same at that point. The neck profiles are good! Pickups are fine imo. I like evertune bridges and that was the main reason I bought mine.

I am going to get humidity packs for my 4 guitars now. Thanks for the idea.
Especially with living in a trailer thats not as weather proof as a real house.

Dude, try Agile. I have two of them and theyre amazing.

Love the video too by the way.

[janneboman]

Yeah humidity changes and wood can be a difficult thing. I would prefer an instrument that has been made from wood that has been stored in the same country where I live.
I have a P-bass made in USA. But I had to replace the neck because it twisted to a propeller shape just due to USA->Europe change of location. Therefore I'm also very hesitant to get a neck-through or a set neck. If your neck goes fubar, at least you can replace it.

[TMFJ]

I have had this exact axe for a year as well. I do like the articulate pickups but Im thinking there is a set I would like better. Pots have been very scratchy. Neck and handshake is amazing

[thet]

I have 2x Solar guitars with cracks in the ebony fingerboards. A1.7AC and an A2.7. The cracks weren't there when I bought them. They happened over time. Not sure if living in humid ass Florida helped cause them or not, but it is what it is. My Evertune has a strange issue as well that the company couldn't even figure out and just bailed on helping me. Nevertheless, I still love my Solar guitars.

[sheriewart]

I have 2, 2.6 v ln and 1.6 v cannibalizmo, absolutely great guitars and worth the money

[TAL]

Swings and roundabouts, my first solars lacquer started to bubble pretty much all over the guitar so I sent it back.
Few years later bought a type G, tone nob was slack on arrival and the three way selector switch, was I quote from my guitar tech "knackered".
Solar tried everything under the sun not to give me a refund or replace the guitar, when I complained about it.

[Nachtmahr]

Stainless steel is Ibanez's cryptonite. 3k+ but still nickel frets and plastic nuts lol. I also don't even try guitars in this price range without stainless steel frets anymore

[jackbootshamangaming]

How do you like the finish? The site says to beware that it might have dings and such, are there any really deep dings or anything, or just more superficial? What about the joints? IT mentions joints too.

[OEMPlus]

dude... thats a really nice improvement on a tele.

[Vagran]

Could someone spare some knowledge? What's the benefit from having 2 heads plugged into a cab?

[andrews]

I dig your 6505 recommendation as well 🤘

[NOTHINGREC]

I have the same model, but modded it with active emg deademons ... suburb guitar ... I might sell it for a decent offer
