    You sold me on the A1.6. Realizing the value of the hardware drove it home for me.

      Awesome! Yes it is really worth it! The a2.6 will play AS well but the hardware and the different looks and woods is worth it!

    That was a great review. I'm just worried cause I'm an ibanez wizard neck guy and I can't really test this one out yet. I'm so used to the wizard neck that all necks feels like a huge difference to me. But I'm prety impressed by these Solar Guitars.

    • @ReXIX2
      @ReXIX2  4 года назад +1

      Thanks ! The neck on the solar is like a slightly fatter ibanez neck You notice That Ola is a ibanez fan for sure becuse its allitle fatter but its still perfect size for medium to small hands aswell :)

    Hey, Robin! Thanks a lot for this vid! I think you're the only one who compared different range models from Solar,yet it's really interesting to know the difference. Did you have a chance to compare swamp ash and mahogany Solar models? I own a 7 string White a2.7 snd I really wanna know if the open pore ash body a1.7 is really different in sound. ,I mean apart from the evertune and locking tuners, do you know if there is a real difference in wood quality and class? I mean, it's almost times teo more expensive...

    • @ReXIX2
      @ReXIX2  4 года назад +1

      Wood quality i would say is the same becuse its the same builder :) tone wise i havent tried them, only mahogany and mahogany Bodies tends to be allitle darker sounding imo :) in this vid i compare alder to mahogany and with High distortion You can barely hear a difference, its more or a feel thing :)

    Hey Robin love your comparison. Great video. I have a question. I own a solar A1.6 FRC and it sounds amazing. Recently i bought a V2.6 White and it sounds muffled unlike the A1.6. Does your 2.6 sounds muffled too? I am using 11-50 string gauge on the 2.6 and play on Boss Katana 100 MK2. Would like to know your opinion. Thanks in advance.

    • @ShroomsUnited
      @ShroomsUnited 2 года назад +1

      Late response, but better than non. I've bought tele in 1 and 2 version. I found some significant difference in sound, even both had the same pick up. I bet it's a matter of body. Version 1 was adler, 2 was mahogany.

  • @mastershake4237

    • @ReXIX2
      @ReXIX2  5 лет назад +1

      Na they sound really close! i would say that the 1.6 might be allitle brighter as its another wood. Mahogny is allitle darker in the 2.6 =)

  • @dekzan
    @dekzan 2 года назад

    Please, if you tune down, does the Evertune keep the strings tight.. or does it get all loose like in a fixed bridge ?

  • @benjaminloggenberg839
    @benjaminloggenberg839 4 года назад +1

    Hey man! Great video! I'm planning on buying an A2.6 at the end of the month. Do you think the tone on the A1.6 is worth the extra $400 or is the tone from the A2.6 close enough? I'm okay with the hardware of the A2.6. I'm a tone fanatic that is usually a massive deciding factor for me! Blessings from South Africa.

    • @ReXIX2
      @ReXIX2  4 года назад +2

      If you just take the sound then no not worth the 400 extra. BUT the evertune and other hardware improvements makes it worth it =) But you will get an AMAZING guitar with the A2.6 its not like Ibanez where a cheaper guitar is bad. I will do another video of the A2.6 next week i belive =)

    The only thing I don't like about Solar guitars is that big ass logo on the fretboard and the tiny side dots (with the A2 at least). This hinders orientation and can be confusing while shredding.

    • @ReXIX2
      @ReXIX2  4 года назад

      There is some solars with dots in the fretboard aswell but i dont really think it is a problem becuse i think the dots on the side is enought :D and if i get lost the 12th fret is the center of the logo :)

  • @sid35gb
    @sid35gb 3 года назад +1

    Good video. As for the evertune bridge I’ll give it a miss it’s a one trick pony yes you can bend but the sustain is not very good when you do, I would not be happy with that. Apart from that it looks like a nice guitar and you’re getting a great metal tone out of it.
