ROASTED MAPLE BOLT ON Solar Guitar

DISCLAIMER - The AB1.7 C I'm showing in the video is a prototype BUT the AB1.7 C production model ALSO has a stacked single coil in the Neck Pickup slot. So NOT like the AB1.7C in the video. Production model has a Duncan Solar humbucker for bridge and a stacked Duncan Solar in the neck.
Announcing the new Solar AB1.6 S and the AB1.7 C and with that introducing the Bolt On neck to Solar Guitars. Loaded with Roasted Maple necks, Evertune, Duncan Solar Pickups, Luminlay Sidedots, Locking Tuners etc...

You should make a Solar 1.6 FART F = Floyd rose A = Active pickups R = Roasted Maple T = Teal colour

[@GearGasms]

No a Solar burp!

[@Albake21z]

The funniest part is, those specs sound absolutely amazing!

[@heylookitsn0ah]

I’m so happy that this comment got the attention it deserved! Loll this is great

[@braxtongary6721]

I’ll take a solar FART 🔥 💨

[@peevee605]

Hell yeah!

DISCLAIMER - The AB1.7 C I'm showing in the video is a prototype BUT the AB1.7 C production model ALSO has a stacked single coil in the Neck Pickup slot. So NOT like the AB1.7C in the video. Production model has a Duncan Solar humbucker for bridge and a stacked Duncan Solar in the neck. Now I look like a tool in this video... but then again I've always been a tool!

[@merqury5]

That was exactly what I was hoping you would say. This 7 string is Vai worthy.

[@merqury5]

Does it come in white?

[@kurukq]

Ola will there be a floyd version of this guitar?

[@zxcvbqm]

you did not demo the single coil lol

[@aleksiblomqvist1612]

@@kurukq hope so just that silver with a black floyd.

[@screew708]

When he said bolt-on I was thinking: "Please make it a nice ergonomic ibanez rg style heel joint!" And of course he delivered

[@kamilkowalczyk4258]

How else could it be 😅

[@enzowaltz8024]

Nothing more outputting than that big chunky square of wood like Stratocasters. Personally, these ergonomic joint is even more comfortable than set-thru necks

[@stevedoom844]

No one has ever thought “please make a nice ergonomic Ibanez rg style heel joint” why can’t you just say comfortable. Don’t be so complicated. But I still love everyone that loves ola

[@kamilkowalczyk4258]

I guess you have two schools... One is thinkng, the other one dwells on out-of-date tradition. Pick your favorite.

[@MaestroJericho]

The contour is a minimum, fender should have had it come standard a while ago and done traditional heels for designated traditional guitars.

[@Heglin82]

Just need to find the right lottery ticket, great looking guitars.

[@all_invite_0hm]

Me too!

[@GearGasms]

How expensive are they? Not terribly so, I think?

[@SvenTheSveed]

@@GearGasms very affordable in the grand scheme of things.

[@uzibagasino2889]

The only affordable instrument i can buy myself is a harmonica. And ill build a solar logo in it.

[@andyprowse218]

They retail for 999 Euros - not too much for such a guitar!

[@wesryan5233]

The 30th fret made my left eye twitch, great new guitars 6/10 !

[@TobyKBTY]

THANK THE STARS for these specs. Ola, you mad man. This is pretty close to perfection. Nothing else in the game has an evertune, roasted maple neck, and a H-S layout. You beautiful bastard, you.

[@chrismonaut]

Ola: can you see the roasted maple? Jeff Kiesel has left the chat.

[@hardrockrelics2157]

Chris Wacker poor Yeff

[@OtakuyaroDono]

Hah lol Kiesel's "roasted maple" option is just a cosmetic dye process and not actually roasting the wood

[@danilocalic797]

Djent Shitposting is leaking

[@ScotianBlooded]

good one 😆

[@Major4D]

🤣🤣🤣

[@TheMrrolland77]

that silver one with the single coil and the rosted neck might be one of the sickest guitars ive seen

[@fiftysteps]

“Louise Carrying Sh!t” Should be a series.

[@alienspacebones]

I was looking for this comment. Thank you! 😝

[@BassCommunion]

"What's roasted maple?" -Lets ask Kiesel about it xD damn bro you're a smart businessman i'm happy for you

[@HearthVader]

FWA FWA FWA FWAAAAAAAAAA

[@rusher38]

Oh yes Oh yes These look fantastic The headstock really does well without paint on it and I can't wait to get my hands on one and see these in more colors

[@nj1255]

Looks awesome! Usually I can't hear any difference, but with these you can actually hear that they sound a bit snappier than the neckthroughs! That 7-string looks soooo good

[@andi_wuast]

This looks sick! Hopefully there will be a 7 string version of the nice silver.

[@JeremyBercow]

and a 6 string black version

[@MuchaMet]

Dayum, that seven String, with chrom hardware, the normal hipshot bridge of the 2.7 . and double humbucker design would be an instant buy

[@romandevengenzo4267]

If you do a roasted maple neck thru with the distressed antique wood finish I’ll buy 2 of em 🤘🏻

[@stihlsavvy666]

Count me in

[@AntagonistInPhoenix]

There’s something so sick about black guitars with roasted maple necks

[@ibanezrg7421]

I can't wait to snag one of these. Seriously my dream metal setup.. Maple.. reverse headstock.. ss frets.. evertune.. Whoever is speccing these deserves massive props.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

For these bolt on models, a heel spokewheel truss rod adjustment would be super super cool!

[@thatsameenergy]

Ola please always keep your integrity and keep providing quality guitars. We love the products and were super happy to support you. Please keep doing what your doing.

[@TroyPosey]

Mornin Ola. ☕️👍🏻🤘🏻 Roasted Maple is awesome. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Id love to see a 27.5” to 28” baritone with just a single bridge humbucker & single volume knob. I’m a huge fan of simplicity on a guitar. 👍🏻

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Do not see this happening in the near future. Ruins the whole Solar aesthetic.

[@bowserb64]

I just want a 7 string 28” so bad

[@danuwisnuwardhana4173]

7 string in 27 please. Single hum single volume

[@torgo4ever]

Oh man ... I LOVE that you have the coils " split " instead of " tapped " !! Humbuckers wired series/parallel in the neck sound so much closer to a " straty " neck single coil tone.

[@NeuroticNexus]

Very clean design with straight forward features. Besides the silver color I pretty much like it

[@renanmarchet9865]

Dude, dood, I'm in love. Just want to see what color options this is going to come in.

[@michaelrosmarin7988]

Man that 7string guitar looks SICK!!! I love how this wooden neck looks! Great job as always Herr Englund!

[@nataspihsrow4076]

Love this one, Ola. I think that's my favorite. An HS configuration with roasted maple.....perfection.

[@shanewilfon6860]

OLA!!! I just bought the 6 string bolt on Floyd version in brown can't wait to get it down here in Kingwood, Texas!! Spit included!!

[@philthyflesh]

This is a great step for Solar Guitars. I was starting to see repitition and no real new model announced. This is a fantastic start to an even bigger growth for your company! Congrats, Ola!

[@juliencarnevale2712]

Love this! Lefty model please Ola!!! Colour is stunning too..

[@lejoskonejo7632]

Yes! A solar that looks like jeff Loomis' classic signature, but in black! You've done it! Seriously awesome

[@wizaxed]

I love the Hum / Sing combo with reverse headstock. I have an RG 565 and love it for the same reason.

[@Torzelan]

Those look incredible, salivating over the roasted maple necks (and Evertune) almost as much as Ola himself. Great job on those!

[@VapnFagan]

These look awesome! Hopefully a hardtail ( no evertune) comes out in the future

[@toddclorox2855]

FINALLY!!!! A company that understands that bolt-on doesn't have to mean low quality.

[@tideofmayo3880]

It looks awesome Ola! And man you are BENDING those strings!

[@rem337]

Beautiful stuff. Love the brightness the 6 string guitar has, bit of a tele sound to it.

[@hardrockrelics2157]

These are awesome, Reminds me of the Schecter Jeff Loomis. Just need a Floyd !

[@jayden4244]

I hope that thomman has those soon Mayby this could become my next guitar

[@hardrockrelics2157]

Jayden Just buy it from Olas Solar website

[@jayden4244]

@@hardrockrelics2157 yea but i would vistit thommann and try it out And also compare it whith diffrent guitars to see what i like

[@pedropete52]

THANK YOU, OLA! I have always been wanting a maple fretboard with the bolt-on design. I love the Evertune bridge with 7 string models. I will be buying the AB1.7 C in the near future!!!

[@mpwhiteloon2316]

I had the worst week of my life. Ola, you make me smile brother. Don't ever stop being you. Perhaps when I get out of the gloom n doom I'll be a Solar guitar owner.

[@andyprowse218]

That Silver 6 string is perfection. Looks like another guitar that i'll have to buy!

[@GearGasms]

It’s a really gorgeous guitar. I really like the front cutaways. It’s traditional but forward looking. You’ve done a really good job with Solar guitars! 🤓🤘🏻🎸

[@tonyl9805]

Absolutely perfectly spec. Everything someone could want and nothing extra. I want one.

[@JesseDKangas]

I love that classic RG565 look. Paint the headstock to match an S type body and you've got my money.

[@randymiles904]

I ordered my solar v a week ago, and I can't wait. I'm so stoked. Love the roasted maple bolt ons btw. May be my next purchase. I'm dipping my toe in the solar pool with the v2.6 tbr

[@SimonFlex]

Beauty my friend on our age, nov'81, becomes a kind of 3D colour like some of aura. Your look is now some kind of trademark and I believe happiness is attached to it when your fans find out a new upload. That metallic silver combined with the roasted maple is killing!! You would say an Ibanez RG offspring and offsprings are necessary to evolution! That guitar is mindblowing. Great sound Ola. Congrats

[@HyborianYT]

The black 7 string with roasted maple is really cool, definitely saving for that one!

[@alexgj3956]

That's a kickass guitar in silver, It would be awsome to have a FR option

[@chemyalvarez]

5:04 Such a CRAZY reference. Killer models Ola, congratulations!

[@Xaion6]

My favorite guitar is my profile pic, and now that theres a bolt on maple neck option, it really makes me want one even more! I'm a sucker for maple

[@geetargeek79]

Would love to see an AB1.7FRNB (25.5") in the future! Please make it happen!

[@animeguitarguy]

I love maple board/headstock combos. Looks like the headstock and board are the same color-wise too unlike Kiesel. Big win here! Need MORE 25.5 7s though

[@franktaylor6350]

Very beautiful looking guitar, making me want to try one and see what happens.

[@suniso370]

Those guitars are so well designed (technically, but especially visually) they put some signatures to shame.

[@bowserb64]

That roasted look is stunning Ola

[@OmarJulianTawil]

Dude the black one looks SICK 🔥 Now make it 26,5 inches and baby blue and you’ll crush the 7 string market

[@waratthewarfield]

Hey Ola, will Solar Guitars ever release a more extreme body shape? Like the Jackson Warrior...Ibanez Xiphos or Bc. Rich Stealth etc..? Rock on!

[@jintaejoo]

Reminds me of Fender guitars... beautiful look! I love maple neck

[@netrom666]

I love the silver one, it is all sorts of awesome-looking!

[@roelguadiz4990]

i have the AB1.6FRNB . it has flod rose. superb

[@TheWolvesCurse]

the only thing different i would want on the AB 1.6 shown here, is a regular (non reversed) headstock. the roasted maple fretboard look awesome!

[@HELLPATH]

The silver one screams 80s! Love it!

[@patrickholt4134]

I have not seen a Solar guitar that I didn't like. All are amazing.

[@andrea9014]

One of these days I'd love to own a Solar A1 7 String. That black one was hot! Not to mention it sounded incredible.

[@jcwear89]

Love the bolt on with the single coil neck look

[@themaker74]

I definitely want one of these for a collection of guitars I'm starting and would love to have it signed by Ola. Love your content.

Sup my friend? Yes I'm stoked too. Great you're exploring new avenues! Congrats.

[@petergilane2634]

Dude you keep delivering! Plus, you’re a real hoot to watch!

[@tabishkhan1154]

Wow.....its perfect guitar for studio with evertune.....and sliver one looks killer....

[@DaniSutarz]

Sorry for the double comment but these guitars are spec'd perfectly for my needs hnnnnng. I've always battled with 26.5 scales on 7's it's refreshing to see fender scale length on 7's, super stoked!

[@seankebely]

Ola, you are beautiful and so are these guitars. These are the specs I have been waiting for. Gonna have to scrape together some dough and pick one up. Just can't decide on the 7 or the 6.

[@Dan_Ranger]

With a Floyd I'd would buy one right now. The perfect configuration for me but us old school 80's thrashers need the wiggle stick! :-)

[@jackfox9101]

Thats so sick, i love how you manage to keep pushing forwards with solar adding more features as you go 🖒

[@gonza.shreds]

Amazing guitars. I used to be really amazed by neck thru guitars. I owned one and I realized how important the construction type and woods are on guitars. A neck thru guitar will never sound like these. Bolt on is just the way to go for me!

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Will be waiting for a production model - love the bolt - on necks.

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

I start to think your guitars can’t get any better, and there you go. You make them even better. I want to get one so bad, I could cry! That roasted maple with the maple headstock, and black Solar name looks sick. Man I’m really proud of you! The first video I saw of you was when you didn’t talk. You were demoing a Engel Savage. Great video, but know you talk to us, and make the sickest guitars on the planet!

[@starman69]

The neck heel looks great! I’m a big bolt-on guy so I love me a comfortable neck heel

[@taj_bass86]

Never bought a guitar so fast in my life. Can't wait to have it in my hands!

[@duaneanderson6393]

beautiful silver color great demon-demo , cool playing wonderful grindage

[@xsonicassassinx]

you're getting closer and closer to making something that fits my exact needs. bolt on 27" 6 string with a hipshot bridge and an HS setup. perhaps a veneer on the headstock to cover up the fact that the points are glued on?

[@pablocompli]

that 7 string is such a beauty

[@ccchicken8889]

Man Ola....that six has me joanzin! The specs just speak to me. Keep rockin dood \m/

[@ERiCtheBuLL]

Purchased the AB1.7 C just a few moments ago. Can't wait for it to arrive. Also, in my order notes, I asked if you can burp on it before it ships out.

[@PARAMONARIOS]

They look stunning!

[@ilovesguitarmucho]

Never really wanted an A or S type. Never been a “super strat” fan as I’m more of a V guy. But man that AB1.6 S is really calling my name. All the aesthetics on that is just right.

[@freezingCode]

I'll hold out for a black V with roasted maple + non-painted headstock. :)

[@bensmith8240]

You have cultivated such a respectable brand. Congrats! IDK what it is, but I've seen an explosion of guitar builders who produce cheap stock and use shady marketing tactics. You're nothing like them. You have the good will of the guitar community. I'd take your word over just about any other entity in the game.

[@ericleavitt7584]

My new guitar for sure. Thank you

[@CarloRegadasGuitar]

That looks very tasty. Easily my favourite Solar, aesthetically and sonically. The H/S config is perfect too. I'm sure a Floyd Rose model would sell extremely well too.
