Amazing guitar

This guitar is punching above it's price point by miles and I can't recommend Solar enough. It's comfortable, sounds fantastic, and has brilliant specs for its price point. Only a couple of issues which aren't localised to Solar.

Pros:

-Very comfortable. Upper fret access, neck shape, fretboard radius, weight, everything else. This guitar fits like a glove, it feels like it could be custom made (for me at least).

-Duncan Solar pickups are, at worst, OK. They're basically as average as you can get in every respect, leaving your playing, amp, and effects to shape your sound. They can be anything you want.

-The hardware and value. The guitar is put together extremely well and all the hardware does it's job perfectly without complaint. There are only a few guitars which beat these in value for the specs provided.

Cons:

-The matte black finish of this guitar is extremely delicate, I managed to scratch it very easily. This is common with a lot of matte finishes though, so it's not a problem with just this guitar.

-The Floyd Rose 1000 tarnished within 2 weeks of owning it, with the finish coming off. Again, though, this isn't a Solar problem.
