I’ve just been looking at some which look pretty cool but I don't think my bluesy dad rock style could handle that kind of cred.

This is about as close as you'll get to the bluesy dad rock vibe...I’ve just been looking at some which look pretty cool but I don't think my bluesy dad rock style could handle that kind of cred.

You know, I was going to comment on @DrewJD82 's Solar, how would be cool to have it relic'd with blood instead of the sweat. Well...

What is it Drew?
Edit - lets add which model is it? before someone responds and says "it's a guitar"
It was probably titled E1.6FBB, but I'm going off the 7-string version's name as they stopped making the 6. There's always a few different finishes and 6/7/baritone/Floyd/Fixed/Evertune options being offered/discontinued.
I almost ordered this one when I ordered mine, but it had chrome hardware back then instead of the black.
And now I'm pretty certain I'm going to end up with their X-type for my next Solar-

The one above is perfect, outside the fact it's a 27" baritone. I need a regular 25.5 6-string, Floyd version first. So far the color/hardware combos have all been off by one big thing that'd hold me back from grabbing one.
I was also thinkin' last week that an aged brass Explorer-kinda pickguard would look pretty sick on these.

You might dig the Evertune, total set and forget deal outside of the occasional adjustment. Have you tried one yet?

What’s up with your preference for inlays? I kinda dig guitars without them although I don’t currently have one. I think it was a Yamaha AES 720 or 620.

I have not. I'm open to it though. There are a couple of baritone models as well as one in D standard he has that I'd dig i think. I think I like the idea of grabbing something for different tunings that I'm not forcing into being a gigging guitar.

It would definitely come in handy on something with lower tunings or any situation there could be some additional slack on the strings. Now that I'm doing a LOT more lead work with it I'm noticing the biggest drawback more often; the lack of sustain past the 12th fret. It's not terrible, but particularly frustrating when I go for a double stop on the G/B strings and the G-string dies out part-way through. Fortunately, it's so rare I'd need to hold out a note long enough to realize it that it's not a huge issue.
I'd like to try an E-type with a regular ToM style bridge to hear any other differences, but as long as I'm able to do Wylde squealies all over the place, I'm happy.
