Solar Guitars FAQ#1 - How to become an artist, Left-Handed models, Duncan Solar Pickups

[@colourbloo]

Do the guitars run on Solar energy? What's Elon Musk's opinion on these guitars?

[@AndrewWukusick]

That background music is brutal, new Feared track?

[@junomartini-zeller614]

I had thought before I visited the website that the guitars that would all be in the 1-2 thousand range. I was impressed with the $650 price tag on the S2.6 C guitar. Good on Ola for making an *_affordable_* guitar.

[@7James77]

And they are affordable with one of the best wood bodies of Alder. You won't find guitars from other companies in that price range with that wood.

[@demonstration2000]

Can you make a Solar Otamatone

[@AvyScottandFlower]

You could easily dominate the market on 6 string baritones/production multi-scales Cheers Ola!

[@jesseyasaitis9036]

With a market flooded with guitar builders, I wish you all the luck.

[@matsunaga3]

Already ordered mine. I don’t need to ask any silly questions.

[@jeromesnail]

I might go just for this reason :)

[@arnihoffritz50]

Dude... You have got a good thing going here, these guitars look amazing and you should be proud.

[@ariefadi4798]

I'm very proud that my country, Indonesia, has made a lot of good guitar from a lot of good brand, including, Solar.

[@stephen9944]

Very excited for you Ola, this is huge and you're doing this your own way which is a blessing for sure. Best of luck!

[@donebadd7151]

Can't wait until I'm able to have the money to purchase one. I love all of the design and am looking forward to support the brand!

[@DomSchu]

I love the SD Custom 5. Most underrated pickup in their lineup imo.

[@JohnnyRaven69]

DomSchu Yeah, indeed! Awesome bridge pickup! \m/

[@JohnnyRaven69]

It has huge chords and still very clean and clear sounding. Love!!

[@CharlieFex]

As soon as you announced the company I went to check them out with your reputation and knowledge of the instrument from I what I have seen over the last few years on your channel I’m definitely picking one up!

[@koffieverslaafde627]

This is old, wow you’ve come a long way ola

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

Congrats on your new venture Ola. As a lefty, i look forward to when you will be able to accommodate us difficult buggers...in the meantime, i shall attempt to be patient and i wish you every success.

[@GeoffGordonStuart]

It takes a ton of courage to start a guitar company. I honestly think Ola is gonna kill it.

[@imdartson3679]

Ibanez is making guitars in Indonesia. Jackson is making guitars in Indonesia. Chapman is making guitars in Indonesia. Now Solar. Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars. They make good shit.

[@Steve-nq8jc]

imdartson A UK acoustic brand called Faith make all their guitars their. Best guitars in their price range by far. So yes Indonesia is great for me the new Korea.

[@JoshuaDalviken]

Much of ESP's LTD line is made there too and they're excellent instruments.

[@gamnackejevel]

I own a Schecter and a Jackson, both from indonesia and both are great instruments. Better than my Gibson that cost twice as much 🤣

[@AdamRainStopper]

"Its time for people to stop sleeping on Indonesian guitars" The only ones sleeping on them are the starved, sickly overworked Indonesian factory-workers, and they can be excused for falling out - just as we all would at the end of an 18 hour shift.

[@andrejohansen1073]

Many brands make guitars in Indonesia, but cheaper ones. Chapman's pro series are equally priced and some even cheaper than the top solar models, but they are made in Korea,superior to Indonesia by any standard, and come with both stainless steel frets and hardcase. Point is, many of these Solar guitars are overpriced. Cool guitars though.

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, could you compare your highest-end Solar to something like a high end Ibanez or ESP that’s double the price of yours? What’s the main differences, if any? I love you man...seriously, I wanna have a beer with you someday!

[@jcspaziano]

I would totally buy a Solar Wangcaster in fleshburst finish! I'm Super excited for what the future holds for your company Ola!

[@iamtheSK1NW4lK3R]

Hey ola! What of us bassists? Eventually when the ball is rolling do you plan on making bass models?

[@tobiastnielsen9262]

iamtheSK1NW4lK3R YES.. Thought the same thing.

[@Shadow_onpawz-v2t]

Was gonna ask the same thing!

[@kevinhernandezretana2170]

Still waiting 😢 but I don't mind waiting. I'm a new bassist, so I'll wait till I'm good to spend on a Solar Bass.

[@Steve-nq8jc]

Good luck Ola it's a brave move to do what you are doing. I hope it really goes off and is successful for you.

[@SplinteredCompany]

Congratulations Ola! I'm so happy for you, I wish you well with this endevour. As a Lefty, I can't wait to see what you will offer us in the future.

[@brunomattheus]

Oh man! You guys do shipping to Brazil. I'm so excited!!

[@Annihilator2001]

Love your shirt, Ola! the last ninja was one of the greatest games on C64 and the soundtrack of both the first and the second game rule to this day. Definitely an ear-worm...

[@nikolihotzki3272]

will there be a one string guitar for beginners?

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

In other words, a "djent stick" guitar.

[@johnnewton1830]

If you send me your guitar I can convert it for $50

[@MistaHahn117]

That guitar should be called the S0lar

[@AdamIronside]

Looking forward to trying them out Ola. Best of luck!

[@eldadvg]

hi, good luck with your new brand! wish you all the best

[@DIETRYING001]

This is really impressive to be fair, ola will be driving a Lambo soon for sure! He’s a genius.

[@darrenc8776]

I may have mentioned this before but Ola could quite possibly be the coolest dude on the planet

[@johnnewton1830]

Darren C Partially due to living in a cold climate

[@darrenc8776]

John Newton nice. yes Ola's global position does give him that extra edge.

[@marvinrockon]

Nice! Let him breath a bit, guys. He cant offer it all from start up. Noone did. keep it cool guys

[@Dampfwalzi]

Will there be a booth at the Musikmesse? So that there is finally something new to look up??

[@ChadAnthonyTheReaper]

I LOOOOOOVe that you made some Evertune guitars that look KILLER and sound AWESOME. GREAT JOB MY MAN. Can't wait to pick one up.

[@FilipFichoBoshevski]

Ola,maybe a stupid question but- in which tuning do the evertune Solars come in? E standard?

[@BoernTilStede]

What about hardcases? Where can i buy a hardcase that will fit perfectly with the different solar moddels

[@andreishevtcov4069]

Ola, congrats on your new business and good luck! Great guitars!

[@sicktwisted90]

It is amazing what you’re doing!! A total inspiration.. hopefully me and my band become a Solar artist!! Congrats on this man!!

[@fateuser]

Song please?

[@jh3770]

This video was seriously helpful...thanks Ola, now to choose my new Solar 7 string

[@NehemiahHughes]

Kewl. I'm definitely willing to wait for a left handed model because I know when they do arrive it will be worth the time and patience. The left handed guitar community thanks you!

[@MetalGuitarGuy]

Your guitars look amazing Ola! Congratulations. I hope your company does well.

[@R.Nashoba]

The guitars look stealth and well built, i would trust Ola on these for sure, just look at his youtube history and that tells you he is definitely well knowledged on alot of guitars and would take certain aspects of other builds into consideration, Im waiting for a custom line to be introduced with Solar as i do trust this company solidly,

[@adrianoscimone]

Your shirt is awesome ... The Last Ninja was one of the coolest video game ever ! ... btw i will take a look at your site, those guitars looks like very nice

[@nightside8056]

I'm watching this video a second time just because of the background music.

[@Ufasas]

Instant like, new favourite youtuber! love you!

[@low_e_music]

Love the shirt! Takes me back to my C64 days.

[@khvier]

I believe I am going to get one. I need the Super strat version ! seems to be a pure, as we say in France, "avion de chasse"

[@MCG_the1]

For the next FAQ: 1. Thats not a question but I NEED AN 8STRING V 2. Wouldnt it be cool if there was an semi-custom guitar brand in europe? It just makes sense. There are so many pickups woods etc. out there and everbody has a different taste.

[@chrispygingerpie]

Will definitely get one of these before 2019!

[@thrasherfan9636]

When custom shop becomes a thing could I get a V series with a graphic finish of you giving two thumbs up with some goofy wide eyed smile and have you underline the "Ola" in Solar and write next to it "ME" in sharpie??

[@manofleisure75]

Dude, The Last Ninja was my favourite game on C64 when I was a kid. GG

[@dr_satan_]

What is the neck width at the first fret ? non of the guitars has this info in the specs

[@lumpyden]

Was the theme music on this video played with the Otamatone, also these guitars look killer ola Good Luck with them

[@bk8708]

Interested to see what left handed models are put out if they ever are...I hope more than one model and not at a stupid jacked price....Cheers Ola

[@christiandefrancesco6601]

👍 cool!!! definatly want that V in lefty

[@neilfoodguy8667]

A matching “flight case” to keep the guitar nice and safe would be a great option.

[@NeroTheIncredible]

I really love the name of the guitars . A1.6 , E2.6...I love chess, excel sheets, maths equations and making bulletpoints on powerpoint, these names are so sexy to me !

[@pickup1080]

Hi，OLA.In your MarkV video，master volume always off，why？

[@FutureBreed13]

Will be there more 7 string models in the near future? So far there are only two. I'm planning to buy a 7 string these weeks and I'm considering Solar as well.

[@sammydaboul6781]

Will you make expensive models with woods like master grade whatever top? Is it possible to try Solar Guitars? Why Solar guitars is based in Spain? Is your DxRacer chair worth its price and is it comfortable when you play guitar? Is earth flat?

[@Guitardude81597]

What did you do with your Washburn solar guitars? Did you sell them? Have them rebranded?

[@tmart0289]

I looked on the website and there isn't any specification for the radius of any of the guitars. What are they?

[@JFRiley]

Ola, just picked up one of your Washburn guitars, only had it a few days but I love it! I’ll def be looking at your Solar line next! (I’m ready to check out The Haunted, can you recommend a good entry album for your band?)

[@amgoatee3700]

Awesome, made in Indonesia, my home country

[@FrankiorMusic]

Most important question: Where did you get that sick af "The Last Ninja" shirt?!?! I loved that game! :-D

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Would it be a 7 string Type E?, Or a Floyd Rose Type E? (Not to push you Ola, i have very big expectations and hopes in Solar since i subscribed to your channel and listened to your music, I'm definitely trying one when i got the money)

[@ernestopicazo189]

Are the guitars made by cort? I love cort and how they made guitars (iirc washburns mii are made by cort and so are jackson pro series) i really hope that's the case and hope that one of the local stores makes a deal to carry solar guitars!

[@dr_satan_]

Please post pictures of the back side of S1.6ET LTD

[@timbrokkoli7386]

Hey Ola ! Best Luck for your Company , one short question : Is it possible to tune the baritone models up to standard tuning ?

[@extendedrangetechmetal1489]

with lighter strings... ofcourse :)

[@jo1995able]

Hej Ola! Hur Mår du? Ik it says America but I'm swedish myself as well Looking for a baritone! What kind do u offer?

[@Derbixrace]

will there be a 7 string with a floyd and 26.5 scale? that would be sick!

[@zenmaster1752]

I am really interested in buying one of your left handed guitars but are they set up? And should i buy it to thomann or on your site?

[@iamchillytoy]

Hi Ola, any plans of making the duncan Solar pickups available separately? Thanks a lot !

[@ai4nlp]

Ideal Baritone expectation from Solar: 1) Stainless steel 2) 28" scale length 3) 6 string (not 7,8) 4) Evertune bridge

[@tommyostensen7339]

Hi Ola. I Was just wondering why u dont work with Jeff Hughell anymore?

[@TT-cz6cn]

so IS the Solar bridge pickup a Custom 5 with a eq twist?

[@aremenius]

Any plans on doing multi-scale guitars?

[@Idmaif]

How different are these Solar guitars from the washburn Solars? I have a 160C and wonder if theres a reason to upgrade at some point

[@PatrikTerminate]

Plans on making some more unique looking models? Most brands carry Strat shaped guitars, while they are very pouplar and sell well would you concider something like a Xiphos, Warrior or Ironbird shape in the future?

[@austinjeff4071]

Are there any plans to eventually make basses?

[@t_separator]

According to the solar hp the company is located in spain. Any reasons why? Tax?

[@JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA]

will we see the current colours offered on more models? a1, 7 in blood red plz. another q, would you possibly be interested in helping another starting youtube guy post reviews and playthrus of your product? also what would you compare your neck shape to?

[@Wagoo]

When can I get my 6 neck Batio style guitar in pink sparkle with built in effects controlled by d-beams? thanks xoxoxox

[@noproblem9792]

IMPORTANT. We need some new great ML shaped guitars. ML Stealth would be even better imo. Plz make it happen. I would for sure buy new ML guitars from your company

[@drugjoza5000]

When you say patience, do you mean 2000000 years before a lefty model or like 6 months to 1 year, also definetly include all or most of the sharp guitars as lefties since lefties barely get sharp guitars

[@BigMetalDaddy1301]

Will there be 'more extreme baritone guitars? Like 28 or even 29-30 inch scales? I love to tune really low and so do a lot of others.

[@ad1170]

HateCreation i actually picked up this 34 inch guitar from fender, but it only has 4 strings for some reason... DEFIANTLY low tho like a whole octaves low.

[@AndyDuckala]

ad1170 horse eye covers

[@ad1170]

They're called Blinkers/blinder... but alright

[@Ghost17110]

This Would love him to make some 27.5 or 28.5 inch 7s and 8s, or 6s too

[@kristianzilinec1913]

Hi Ola! What about Solar basses? Have you considered this?

[@pabloruiz1982]

Hi Ola. Why is your company placed in Spain? Thank you.

[@alexl.8441]

Ola! How do you feel about your new guitar brand?

[@nukemyheart]

Hola Ola! What do you think of making some nice Solar basses?

[@Metalbaum]

will there be fanned fret guitars maybe a 7 string ex with 25.5 to 27 and a hipshot bridge :D

[@colemanoverbey1184]

Do you think you could make a left handed multiscale guitar for less than 1000$?

[@matthias-janflemming9277]

Do you think about creating a smartphone app for your website?

[@israfajrihernanda8902]

I'm from indonesia by the way. Can I get this solar guitar here? Do you distributed these guitar at indonesia? Or I must order from another country? Thanks.

[@riffdude]

When there will be a lefthanded Solar I'll demo it 😊

[@XXLDistortsion]

[Q] Is it possible to choose different stringbrands and sizes for the initial setup before shipping?

[@bernieorbust6104]

XXLDistortsion lol just buy thr strings yourself. And set it up yourself

[@XXLDistortsion]

stay calm its just a question. this would be a nice service

[@riffsnreviews]

Out of curiosity does your A6 artist signature with 1052 gauge (great move by the way) come delivered in standard E ?

[@BazonBlades]

All I want is a neck through V with a Hipshot fixed bridge.

[@abaurre3]

I wish you good luck with your business! Hopefully I'll have enough money to buy one someday!

[@transforminggravity15626]

There are beautiful guitar

[@se7en5es]
