Solar finally made exactly what I want-

[DrewJD82]

A Solar JEM77LNG, basically-

$1300 for a 24-fret, ebony fingerboard shredder with a Sustainer pickup.

Might have to hold off on the Tele for a bit.

I see they have other racer car paint new models too - Kinda wish you could select the features of these and mix-and-match paint scheme

I would have sex with the green and yellow ones

 

[JiveTurkey]

That Yellow is Green doesn't usually speak to me but that OP is also Fixed bridge options are great as well. I love the wild color options available from Solar. There's going to come a point, especially as an Ibanez-styled-guitars fan that I will own something from them.

We need a swirl dipped one.

 

[KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!!]

They could have left the pickguard off the lower horn and just follow the profile downward instead. Looks odd the way it is now.

Reverse headstock ruins the day again

I forgot about this lesson I learned with my baritone but it's definitely something I am not a huge fan of on the functional side. Dangit!

Especially the combo of the reverse headstock with a floating Floyd and locking nut… I’m frustrated and annoyed just thinking about restringing that thing!

Except the JEM was a bolt-on. Man, these Solar's are a steal.

Im about to put my A2.6CAR up for sale if anyone (@FuzzyAce ) wants it.

I used to hate them, both aesthetically and functionally, now I just hate them functionally.

Even with a peg winder, I still hate tuning the damn things.

Oh I LOVE the looks. It just using them that drives me batty. I've gotten better about it but still not my ideal.

I tried a bass awhile back, don’t remember what model it was but I *think* it was an Iceman. The bass hung more to the left, so the bridge was more centered on my frame vs my normal Fernandes explorer the bridge lands about the center of my right leg. I literally couldn’t reach the lower tuners.

Funny, but obnoxious

I love that Solar is finally doing some actual hardtails in the higher-grade line instead of that terribad Evertune nonsense. I'm a sloppy enough player on my own. I don't need to encourage myself to be worse at stopping the monkey-grip bends.
