Unboxing my first real baritone electric guitar - the awesome Solar V2.6FBB

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks for watching and listening to my video. If you like old school metal riffs and don't mind an old school guy playing them, please feel free to subscribe to my channel. Otherwise, something as easy as liking this a video helps out a lot. Who doesn't love a 👍?!

Awesome video mate & congrats on the purchase! Solar definitely kickass! Loved the clean picking sections! That sounded really cool! Awesome distorted riffage too! Great video production! Well done 🤘🎸🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. It took a while to edit, but I'm happy with it. I used a few new toys on this video too. It was a learning curve.

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@guitarfascination the effort certainly paid off! What new toys did you use?

[@guitarfascination]

I got a teleprompter to assist with my awkward speech, and a new LED light (Xmas present). The new light currently provides the red glow from the front. Not sure if I’ll keep it there or not. Always experimenting 🙂

[@GuitarHoarder]

@@guitarfascination you’re lighting looks awesome in this video!! When you get a chance can u send me a photo of how the teleprompter is setup? Does it go over the camera like the photos we looked at?

[@guitarfascination]

I'll try to send a photo tonight. I worked out how to make it work with the ZV E-10.

[@jimihendriks82]

The Solar V's look just really awesome! Great guitar and cool video! Awesome stuff!🤘🎸🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. You rock 🤘

As soon as I get me a jackson guitar i want to play the same tune that you are playing

[@guitarfascination]

Assuming you're referencing the distorted riff ... thanks. It's an easy riff (which is all I know how to play) 🙂

[@guitarfascination]

The guitar is tuned to BEADGB (standard B?)

[@jericorytaylor4537]

@@guitarfascination I wrote it on a piece of paper that's what I want my jackson guitar to be on B

[@ahaua1]

Great unboxing and demo!!! Great clean tone intro, followed by some great distortion riffs.

[@guitarfascination]

Much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@philby82]

Congrats man - that is a killer guitar and your clearly stoked with it! Happy new year man!

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much mate. I am absolutely in love with this guitar. I'm so glad I came across this in an Aussie store on sale. Happy new year to you as well.

[@philby82]

@@guitarfascination I've been considering a baritone lately to do some different tunings and these are now on my radar thanks to you lol

[@guitarfascination]

Hahaha. You're welcome? 😅

[@jaisor]

Excellent unboxing vid Jason, and congrats on the Solar, looks and sounds killer dude!

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much mate. I'm in love with the guitar. I'd definitely consider another now. An X shape maybe.

[@KRIS.7S]

Great unboxing and amazing guitar Jason, Looks really awesome, enjoy it !!!!!!! 👍👍👍 👍#3

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks heaps mate. I'm loving this guitar so far. It has helped me get my mojo back.

[@factor9]

Amazing guitar, loved the clean tones.Happy 2024!

[@guitarfascination]

Happy 2024 to you too mate. I really liked the variety of cool clean tones in this guitar as well.

[@SRFFUN]

My friend let me borrow his v solar it was my first time on a v and once I got used to pointyness it was comfy and I really like input on back. I really liked your metal tones nice and chime crunch.

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks! I know what you mean ... the V can take some getting used to, but once you do ... 🤘🤘

[@georgeangelakopoulos8884]

Happy new year my friend!!! Have fun with this ☝️

[@guitarfascination]

Happy new year to you too mate. I hope 2024 is exceptionally kind to you 🤘

[@MrGrayhenry]

Great video man the guitar looks awesome! I still want to try out one of their eight strings sometime in the future.

[@guitarfascination]

Thank you! Yeah, an 8-string Solar would be awesome!

[@stefanassmann7082]

I'm so happy for you!!! Have a lot of fun with this beauty!!! Maybe in another SWOLA? Has been a while you did a SWOLA🙂 Wish you and your family a happy new year 🤘🤘🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Thanks so much mate. Happy new year to you and yours as well. I'll hopefully get back into SWOLA soon. The end of 2023 was rubbish. Hoping for a much better 2024.

[@chrisloud1976]

Really nice playing Jason. Love the baritone tuning. Those opening riffs with the ambience delay and reverbs sound very appealing. I like the coil split feature. Very nice guitar. What is the country of origin on those? 🤘

[@guitarfascination]

Hey Chris. Thanks for the kind words. I am loving this guitar. It was manufactured in Indonesia.

[@vic.d2__]

i have played on and off bass for a year, and it's just not my style. I'm curious, i love metal and want to play guitar instead of bass, would baritone better than normal guitar if i'm making the switch?

[@guitarfascination]

I believe so. If you like the deep, brutal rhythm tones, then this is a great style of guitar. Thicker strings help as well.

[@vic.d2__]

@@guitarfascination can i still tune it up for something like drop d or c?

[@guitarfascination]

Sure can.

[@albertmarkethinkpr1325]

Is this guitar still holding up good? I am asking because Soalr has had some QC issues in the past

[@guitarfascination]

Mine is pretty close to how it was when I bought it. It probably needs the action adjusted slightly, but other than that, the frets have remained the same and the inlays have not cracked, shrunk or fallen out. I've honestly had no issues.
