Solar Guitars S1.7 PB ETC

Solar is king 👑

Everything is perfect about it

Great instrument

My 1st 7 string. Quality in general is good, some loose screws but that was an easy fix.

It looks absolutely stunning in person the finish is great. The Evertune is also pretty awesome stays perfectly in tune even with heavy chugging. The neck also feels pretty amazing.

Due to the coil-split cleans are also pretty great!

Would recommend!

Great guitar, a lot of imperfections

Bought this because of the hype behind the brand.

It's a quality instrument, and it certainly plays great.

The Solar Duncan pickups are kind of flat, or dare I say boring. If you're into really heavy stuff, consider swapping the pickups.

Now fo the negatives:

There are a lot of small imperfections in the finish here and there, and there's a couple of spots on the neck where the finish is a bit uneven and rough.

Small cracks on the side of the neck where the frets are pressed into the fingerboard started showing up a couple of weeks after delivery.

A couple of bubbles in the finish in the headstock, particularly around the logo.

The 5 way switch had a slight crackle to it, even when playing clean. Contact cleaner did nothing to help with this.

I dont really have anything special to say about the guitar.

It plays great, but the imperfections are too many for a guitar in this price range, and from what I've researched on the web, it seems to be a common thing with the Solar brand.

Needless to say, i wont be returning to this brand anytime soon unless they step up their QC.
