This is my first Solar guitar and I’m very impressed - although, as always, there are pros and cons:
Pros:
- Very comfortable thin C shaped neck, reminds me of the Schecter Ultra Thin C/ Charvel San Dimas Speed Neck. It’s not Wizard thin
- Beautiful finish and good hardware
- Balanced lightweight guitar with no neck dive
-The Sustainiac pickup is brilliant
-The 25.5 inch scale length makes this really manageable to play, I’m mainly in Bb or Drop A so this works perfectly for me
Cons
-Bridge pickup is a bit muddy so I’ve swapped it out for an SD Black Winter
-The top of the locking nut screws have rusted but this is more of a cosmetic issue which I’m having rectified as part of a set up
-Sustaniac pickup in the mode with the toggle switch up doesn’t have any effect on the high e string, works great on all other modes and strings though so I’m getting this looked into
Overall this is much better than I was expecting it to be, and with some mild set up work this is a beast of a 7 string
