- Solar GC1.6TBR (With an EVERTUNE!)
Today I try out my second ever Solar (Ola Englund's guitar company). This one features the Evertune bridge. So this video should be interesting.
This is not an affordable guitar, but it's not terribly expensive either. It is rather metal (no surprises there).
Hope you enjoy!

LOVE that opening music! Very unique.
Hi Elmo, I love how you snuck in a bit of "The Simpsons" theme song early on. I always enjoy your reviews.
Glad you like them! :)
Sticking with my USA Strat🎸🤟🏻😎☮️
Fair enough :)
Love,love,love, Evertune!
:)
thank you very much for the review! I was considering getting one of these but now I am sure definitely is a no go.
My kid has a Solar. Nice guitar but it has a bad selector switch also. Strat style switch
Solar = qc problems on some level. Oh and I completely agree with you on the headstock! I have solar and I would be much happier with and Ibanez anything guitar. I would not recommend a solar especially if you are not a luthier or live in the middle of nowhere. Something will need fixing or replacing.
Yeah, I've heard they've had issues.
My Artist series Solar's 5way pickup selector worked about 6 months...and there were quite a few of other issues in that as well. Not gonna guy another Solar ever again...
So, Mr Ola actually had someone made him a piano in a form of guitar and put a price tag of 1000 euros? Nice, going. He should instead be trying to make some actual music to which people could make love to...
but then again, he ain't no Joey Tempest.
Hello Elomo! A question, you buy all your gear, but do you keep the stuff or do you sell it after the review?
I sell it on at a slight loss. Some stuff I keep, and I've just given away a couple of guitars.
Hi..E,I like reverse things by my crome things, nice red and black,looks like some black stain, then red after,in satin
I'm only two minutes in and already I consider that guitar a keeper. Are you going to keep this one rather than selling it on after the review?? I'd keep it were I you if only 'cause it chuggs lol.
I borrowed it from a friend, so couldn't really keep it :D
men really like hearing themselves talk
brand new guitar with a broken PU switch. That's like Gibson level bad QC.
Ola must be using authentic switches?
@@PooNinja 😂👍
:D
que mal te viste corrigiendo la afinación de una guitarra con puente evertune. 4:21
Guitar only for chug-chug-chug? No, thanks))
I don't like evertune bridge
Very pretty guitar from a very funny guy! Too bad it doesn't work, but at least the broken switch is stuck in "chug" mode.
I'm struggling to see who the evertune is really for. Beginners who struggle to tune aren't going to buy a £1000+ guitar, and experienced guys can do it in 30secs flat, so who exactly does this appeal to?
it appeals to rythm players who use high gauge strings and low tunings that hit the strings like animals because "its cool" on stage. Probably :)
@@RapttorX fair enougth! Don't bother with good technique, just spend more on gear! 😂
It's for Devin Townsend :D
Strange no one seems to like the Evertune….. it’s a freaking game changer for me. I will never play a guitar without one
I understand it, but I have whammy bars on most of my guitars. Devin Townsend likes it.
The Evertune bridge is the best thing to happen to guitars in the last 50 years, an absolute game changer!
Siis eikö Evertunalla voi vibrata eikä edes bendata? MIksi joka haluis tollasen, mikä idea. Kaikki väri puuttuu soittamisesta, eipä siinä paljoa oo iloa vaikka vireessä olisikin.
Voi bendata ja vibrata.
I'm with you, I HATE the tuners in the wrong place (for me). That's why I can't look at the Chapman's, some of the Charvels and all those with similar heads
Seems as if that would be irritating
Great demo. Thought it sounded really good. I love ATG and I think they're using Solar guitars. That said the evertune bridge and the aesthetics of the guitar don't do it for me.
Phillip McKnight had the same problem with a 3 way selector switch on a PRS SE Eriza Verde recently. He blew some air in the switch which fixed it - could be a bit of sawdust in there from the factory. Worth a try.
Zone 2 or district 9 no bending the rules
Zone 3 bends like a diver coming up to fast!
Evertune? Not for me thank you.
You sound better with your strat.
it looks fantastic, and I know how to replace a switch, so that wouldn't be a deal-breaker. If it were available w/o the evertune for somewhat cheaper, I'd definitely consider one.
Pretty sure you can get it without the everyone and it is cheaper
Not sure it is.
The Simpsons theme 🙌
Another good video. You said it was a very nice guitar. However, I have the idea that Mr. Ola Englund will not be asking you to do his guitar ads. (Maybe playing in the background.) That faulty switch was not too impressive. The website for Evertune bridges shows them starting at about $300 by themselves. thanks for another one.
Thanks for the info!
Will it chug though 🤣
I don't normally like the looks of his gujtars because of that wavy ginormus headstock, but he does have great features. Just a personal thing with me. 🤣..
Love the looks of this one though, even with that bhtt ugly headstock. 🤣..
Are the frets stainless?
I've been thinking of buying a new single cut. I need a Gibson LP Jr with a rosewood board and maybe p90s. EMGs though to get rid of the hun.
Your tone just rocks man.. you could play wires strung across railroad tracks and make it sound good I'm convinced my friend.
Be well sir.
Tim
You too Tim :)
Have u tried the A style Solar guitar if so would you choose it over this G body type? Im looking at buying a solar despite being worried about the cracked fretboards and what not but I don't know if i should go for the A or G body type
Haven't tried one of those :(
I know I'll get hate for it but here we go: if I really wanted a tuning free guitar I actually think I'd prefer robo tuners to this weirdness!!!
Haha :D Never tried those. And you know what? I'm glad I haven't :D
Sounds awsome do u ever give stuff to youre viewers
Planning on doing it in the not too distant future.
Bummer on that switch. Seems a nice guitar otherwise. Don't think I would like that ever tune bridge.
Minen vid vibrato-försöket 🤣. Solars Evertune-system är kanske den perfekta gitarren för de med ett mer nervöst vibrato 🤔. Är inget fan av Solar. De är perfekta metal-gitarrer. De är exceptionellt välbyggda och Ola är en kanonkille. Men de är inget för mig. Uppskattade recensionen däremot. Det blir ett intressant samtal när en uttalad Fender-individ gör en crossover mellan classic/modern.
Och 20k prenumeranter. En fin utveckling och värd att gratulera. Ett bra kvitto på din kompetens som pedagog, musiker och att helt enkelt vara rolig. Kan tänka mig att du är uppskattad av eleverna 😊.
👍🙌
Tackar min internationella kollega! Nu började sommarlovet. Om man skulle hinna skriva lite musik för en gångs skull :D
@@MrPolevaulter Lyllos er. I Sverige blir det arbete till 15 juni 🙄.
Nytt material låter inte alls dumt! Age of heroes behöver en uppföljare (Age of foes 👀).
Njut av semestern, ärade kollega 😊.
@@MagisterTuomo Har ju "Album of the Year" på Patreon, men den saknar något tycker jag.
@@MagisterTuomo En vecka till. Det orkar du med
Sedan ska du njuta 👍
@@MrPolevaulter Mjo. Sådant kan man alltid spekulera i förstås. Jag kan tänka mig att förutsättningarna för resp inspelning var något annorlunda kanske och det kan ju spegla sig i det man sedan hör 🤔. Men sådant kan man ju spekulera i in absurdum. Och det har man inte tid till när man närmar sig 42 stadiga år på planeten 😅.
O ja. Det ska man nog orka. Speciellt som vi fått finfin sommarvärme här på den svenska västkusten. Man kör 💪😎.
YOOOOO
Nice review. The guitar does look great and sounds cuttingly clear. My guitars have tuning pegs on top also but thinking about it when playing a guitar without evertune The pegs that way would be much easier to make adjustments. I guess it just goes to what you are used to though. Just seems economical to me that facing down is the same way your hand would be facing while playing. I am with you though and my tubers are pointing up.also. What did you think about the pickups in person - are they the same in bridge and neck?
Not sure. Didn't really think about the pickups in terms of are they the same.
I would never buy a Solar, despite good look. If there is a guitar in a range of 1k euros and more it should not have a qc problems like cheap Harley Benton. Some HB guitars five times cheaper do not have any flaw. Evertune bridge is not for somebody who uses bendings and vibratos.
In all honesty; it’s pretty! That’s about it!! Sounds too …… “modern, chugga chugga, boring ass” metal, and the ever tune?!?! F that! F that a bunch!!!!! There is no need to route out the guitar that much to fit one, there is no need for the complicated tunings, sure it never goes out of tune, but with locking tuners, and a good setup, other guitars won’t either! Great video though Elmo, always love how your unbiased on everything you do!
Thanks Jay!
