Anyone looking for an entry-level guitar and/or bass should check these out. My understanding is the bodies and necks are essentially the same as the normal Solar line stuff, but the hardware and electronics are budget-friendly - and of course the Solar 12th fret inlay isn't there on these, just dots - which work better for beginners. These likely make great starter guitars that offer solid mod-growth possibilities.

If my kid kept any interest in guitar at all, I'd be buying him one for Christmas, no doubt.

At the prices these are at it’s almost stupid to not just take a chance to check one out. I might snag an E-type for a backup guitar.

This could be my chance to get a 7 string.
Then I can play some Iron riffs.

Dear Ola baby Jesus:

Please offer the Grandpa Tele in this series. No 12th fret inlay is actually a godsend because I don't like the looks of it for myself at all.

White is good but Grandpa Ash is the GOAT. I'd like it with dots a bazillion% more.

I noticed some of the models just have dot inlays now. That's nice.

well... actually most of them in this line. Keeps some of the cost down I suppose.

I submitted a support ticket. We'll see how the customer service goes in resolving my "needs"

I looked at the E-type, I see the fingerboard is techwood, I’m guessing this is a composite?

Nope, it comes from the techwood forest, next to the quarry where they mine psuedostone.

Battle Axe headstock would make you a dangerous hang on stage, though.

My Ibby V is bad enough, let alone a headstock with the pointies

Not as bad as those metal headstocks on some basses - got whacked in the face with one of those mid-set one time. Made it tricky to remember where I was in the song… or the state…

I am shocked more damage isn't done to be quite honest. It's a miracle!

 

[Stone]

Certainly going to be looking at that for a drop C guitar
Price is ridiculous

My spouse has shown interest in learning guitar. She's in Japan atm, and a big Megadeth fan. I linked her the V shape Solar S if she wants to give it a try. Seems like a nicer option than some Jackson JS or similar.
