Pretty bangin’ fuckin sale, buy one guitar, get another for $50.

Singer/guitarist in my band was talking about getting one last week, I told him I’ll throw down $250 if we can both agree on a model so maybe today can turn into a NUGD!

Goddamit Drew Are there import fees or anything beyond the actual price on these?

I paid $60 for a fee to get mine a couple years ago.

Probably should have stated, if my singer doesn’t take me up on that deal, I’d do the same with anyone here!

I would be all over this if it didn’t have a reverse headstock

The import fees to the US only kick in if it’s over either $800 or $900, cant remember which.

The deal seems to work so that you put the guitar you want in the cart, and can then choose from outlet S/T type guitars. The ones left at the time of writing were very basic S/T type guitars.

While I think a non-reverse would look better...that's definitely what I would buy.

Or this one:

That's order total I assume. Do you know up front when you check out or is it an extra $200 tacked on after the fact?

No - it’s a bonus surprise. More like a hostage negotiation that you can’t win. “Give us more money or we send your guitar to UPS storage purgatory”.

Best scenario would be a couple of local buds decide to go in on it and say a prayer. To of course

There’s been a few Solars out there with cracked fingerboards and the Solar logo lifting off the headstock. However, like any good internet/bad guitar experience, it quickly became far bigger of a thing on the internet than any actual evidence had shown. To date I’ve only seen 3 different guitars with cracked boards, but if you check the Solar thread at Sevenstring, you’d swear only every 5 guitars coming off the line DIDN’T have cracked fingerboards.

My E-type was a factory second and the quality of it indicates they know how to make a killer guitar, I’ve yet to know of any company that puts out stupid good quality as a fluke.

Ive personally owned like 7 or 8 Solars and still have 4 of them, one of which Ive had for about 5 years.

Ive also owned 2 guitars with cracked fretboards. 1 Schecter and 1 Jackson.

But then you wouldn’t be able to gouge anyone open with an uppercut.

I want one of these in black REALLY badly. Not overly keen on the inlay at the 12th fret, while I have no problems with the regular Solar inlay there. I just love block inlays and ebony fingerboards and a Solar w/ block inlays is as close to a Custom Shop Explorer as I’ll ever get!

There's a 7 string in that same body style in Orange that is just perfection for caveman riffs. No floyd to get pissed about; just pure knuckledragger fury with that toxic orange finish. Ugh!
