SOLAR A1.6 CLEAN TONES: Not Just For Metal!

[@BrianBower]

Who has some Solar GAS?

[@TheBlackKoma]

Tried to buy that particular finish from the current b stock lineup last week but the website wouldnt take my monies😭

[@BrianBower]

@@TheBlackKoma Was it the 6 or 7. That suckssssss

[@TheBlackKoma]

@@BrianBower I dont remember because either was fine. Also tried to buy the regular g series with ET. My bank doesnt like overseas purchases apparently. Ended up getting an A1.7ETC locally as I got impatient.

[@BrianBower]

@@TheBlackKoma Weird. I just use PayPal

Me 🤚

[@JDetralate]

Interesting point to make as I imagine non metal guitarists probably overlook Solar. Really like the riff you played with the 'Diesal' profile. Great stuff

[@BrianBower]

Thanks man! I really liked your video I commented on last night on the gram. I couldn't do that near as well. I need to do something with the clean riff I played in this video. I find myself jamming on it a lot. Solar is a good choice for sure and I am happy with both of mine. Hopefully playing more with the 7 soon as I get the two videos done that I am filming for tonight.

[@JDetralate]

@@BrianBower yeah that riff really stood out so would be great to use it in a song somewhere. Thanks again for checking out that DOOM vid man, really appreciate it.

[@BrianBower]

@@JDetralate Man the Doom soundtrack by Mick Gordon is sick!!!

[@JDetralate]

@@BrianBower sure is. He worked magic with that soundtrack and sounds he has done it again with the new one!

[@GravesoftheInnocent]

Sounds beauty. Loved the Time Stand Still riff too.

[@BrianBower]

Rush is the best!

[@SAPlaysMetal]

Love how they clean up. Great pickups

[@BrianBower]

I was expecting I would have to change the pickups but not at all. These are really good

[@raulands]

Hi, thanks so much for the video! sounds great !! And yes, definitely getting this guitar can't wait!

[@BrianBower]

You will probably love it! Thanks for asking the question

[@pedalscapes]

Sweet axe! You got some good clean tones going on for sure... Cheers :)

[@BrianBower]

Thanks for checking this out!

[@jparkerriffs]

nice job bro! Coooooool video!

[@BrianBower]

Thanks man! I hope it helps people make a decision. Whole reason I made it is due to a question I was asked about these for cleans.

[@milliesdad8322]

What’s your take on the Evertune bridge?! I’m still not sure I want to mess with tuning at the bridge versus the headstock like I’m used to. I do see the benefit to it though. They currently have a model in stock with a Hipshot bridge I’m interested in. Thanks!

[@tdicml0752]

Hi man! It looks awesome! Could you tell me how much does it weigh? I can't find the weight anywhere.

[@BrianBower]

Hi dude, I am not sure of the actual weight but I can tell you this much. I have jammed with a Les Paul before and I much prefer using this Solar A1.6 for a lot of reasons. It is a lot lighter. I love that about this thing. Plays nice and weighs little.

[@Shredhub101]

Gorgeous she is!!!!

[@BrianBower]

She is hawt!

[@abrathe297]

Hi again. As this guitar is around the corner for me too. Do you find the guitar bright? Wondering what pickups to get for it. Allthough im gonna play it with the solars a bit first.

[@BrianBower]

Hi Anders! I wouldn't say it is super bright. I think you should give the Solar Duncans a solid chance first. I actually like them especically in the 6. Nice well rounded pickup. It is all a matter of taste though

[@abrathe297]

Brian B Yup. Gonna give them a shot first ofcourse :) Just curious. Thanx for the input man.

[@slayerfan306]

I want to buy that guitar but its in pre order so i would have to wait right?

[@infinity6305]

Ik it's not solar but I have a Jackson guitar and it can also do clean really well ;)

[@BrianBower]

That’s cool. The best guitar I have that does cleans is actually my Ibanez RG570

[@infinity6305]

@@BrianBower It's really strange when these guitars do clean. They don't look like they can, but when they do, people are surprised lol.

[@BrianBower]

@@infinity6305 The worked on making a versatile instrument. They just happened to be aimed at the metal market. Super Strats for the win

[@infinity6305]

@@BrianBower Definitely :)

Autofocus chasing. Man, stop down that camera, you don't need a blurry background man 😉

[@BrianBower]

Cheaper camera does cheap things. I opened it for lighting and not having a noisy image.
