I always thought LUNAR would make a nice bass trade name, but yeah, I guess a few more months and I will take my time to upvote each of these comments of yours.
I had a Scott Dixon case which I sold thinking I wouldn't need it anymore, and now I'm doing a fly tour in April. I've found another solution that is somewhat cheaper, buy a keyboard case that is long enough and deep enough to house two guitars but still stay under the airline size limit, buy two padded gig bags and then use the velcro straps that are there to hold the keyboard to secure them. And the good thing is that there is a good second hand market for Keyboard cases, whereas the specialist travelling guitar cases virtually never come up second hand and definitely not much cheaper than new.
The cases are awesome but I’m even happier that you pointed out the the dual death feature of your guitars. They can deliver death metal or just strait up death. Perfect! One of the few weapons still allowed on a plane.
Great review - but just on a point of fairness, the original spec Ola wanted for his Scott Dixon V case was for a different V shape guitar. We could build one easily to the spec of the Solar, or provide proper internal shoes for it to sit on without it damaging those extreme horns.
we had a single show in sweden and i am dutch. what we did was we took the guitars with us. you can get an extra seat for cheaper as a luggage seat. this is cheaper then throwing them down in the storage.
Hello Ola you could rivet titanium angles on your case edges for reinforcement, and cut v on a rubber tire chock cover it with 1inch foam for protecting your fly v corners.
Best first world problem! I’m traveling to Europe with my guitar and found your video useful, cheers from Australia and I hope to see you live soon - also congrats on the new house 🏡:)
Enki are awesome (AMG-2 bass version for me) ... and I'm more and more interested with Gator Minivault (bass version too) more on the compact side and maybe stronger locking system..
Great travel solution recommendation Ola. Thanks. Plus that Solar single cut is by far the best looking single cut I've seen for wow some time. Cheers and God bless
Was touring in a quite big production last October, we've had both Scott Dixons and ENKIs. Both stand up to travels comparably well, but ENKI has more to offer in terms of actual protection in flights, whereas Scott Dixons have simply more features and much more comfortable to use within a fly-in or tour with get-in flights. BTW, when flying with guitars through Europe, keep an eye on Wizzair, EasyJet, Czech Airlines, Air Malta, Transavia and Vueling, they usually treat musical instruments as simply baggage, and don't take any oversize fees. I and my band personally flew Wizz a couple of time with all the instruments, paid nothing extra, including for a giant heavy custom flight case for an extreme shaped guitar.
BTW, Scott Dixon bass cases can take guitars as well, so you can easily fly with bass and guitar in one case and be fully equipped if you have one guitarist (having no spare for a couple of shows is not deadly I guess). As I can tell from the pics, you can't fit a guitar in an ENKI bass case, which is kinda shame.
Its funny i stumbled across this vid 4 years later. But in the summer i volunteered for a festival and i swear every tech absolutely hated the Dixon cases with a passion. And they also damaged some guitars while i was there. Specifically the guitars of Three days grace
The ENKI seems promising because the shell is made of Polyethylene and seems not to dent or loosing pieces but only for STRAT shape guitars, that sucks for this detail. DIXON is cool because they do for flying V guitar but the corners of the case loosent up and fall after a couple tour because air lines play football with the cases. Also the 4 clips that hold the lid to the whole thing gets faulty with time, would be great having spare parts because accident happens on stage and your pants can get caught in one of the clips and it does happen more often you would imagine. Hope there will be another compagny that will raise the bar for the inconvenience we get with Enki and Dixon...
I do like those Enki cases... And $500 for a sturdy case like that ain't bad, my Mono dual guitar case was something like $350 and that's a very sturdy gig bag, not a hardshell like this. Will definitely keep this in mind if I do any more extensive traveling and feel the gig bag might not cut it
Ola, hope all is well my friend. I finally ordered my Jensen, now I must wait in suspense, but the hard parts done. I've been playing for 28 years and I will say I'm very picky, so with that said Solar won out over all especially for my style. Once again thank you for putting your heart and soul into these guitars.
Unrelated question but what amp should I pick? Stuck between the Satan 50, Rectoverb 25, and Mark 5:25? Wanna get a new amp for modern metal. Would use a noise gate with all them except the Rectoverb, I’d use a precision drive to tighten the low end. Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Dominic Parenti I’d say more towards the Satan? Recently I’ve been looking at used Marshall JVMs which seem good. The JVM is 250-400 less than the others, my only concern is how tight it is. At this point I’ll just choose the cheapest one available on Reverb lol. Appreciate it.
@@TheJMan1K I'm in the same situation. I love Marshalls but they seem to need more help to get more modern metal tones. I'm stuck between evh and Randall. But your probably right to go with the Satan
Mornin Ola, I love your videos... My boyfriend and I watch your stuff every day! Love the burps, you are hilarious! My boyfriend wanted to know if you like North of the woods song Stabbed with a spoon? Love from Ontario Canada!
I have toured for 10 years as a stage manager drum tec and guitar tec I know when I do fly dates or go overseas love the ENKI cases! But I would always prefer to have a full size valt 😂
hey Ola! did you also used stretch plastic wrapping for the cases? Did they go to the storage in the plane? or did you carried them in the cabin of the plane?
Hi Ola, I have a question - will Solar Guitars do a guitars in Dimebags shape? Deans and Washburn are expensive and hard to find, so I think if Solar will do good, cheap guitars, a lot of people will buy them. Think about this. Greetings.
I'm glad you enjoyed the comment ola. it's only the truth! I have some different guitar road cases made by a local company but those are big and heavy, I don't fly with them. I'd be interested in something light weight and packable on a plane. great video!
Enki are great but oversized for most airlines who will charge you an insane amount for flying with it, i made that mistake. To be taken into consideration, if you don't fly they are amazing cases
Hi Ola, I want to thank you, for being a good person. I am from Chile and about two months ago I wrote you an email asking for help for the RockGo scam here in Chile and yesterday I received the incredible response from Solar that came to many of those affected. You are not to blame, you did not have the responsibility or obligation to respond, but even so you did, you attended us and they did not leave us alone in this. Solar offered the affected an incredible discount, in order to finally have my dreamed guitar, so I want to thank you for that and for being a good person, all of the Solar team are also, these things can happen but not all respond and they do things with good intentions. Ola Englund and Solar-Guitars are already very successful, but I know they will have it for many and many more years because they are such good people with their clients and followers. I promise that this bad moment that happened here, will remain in the past and I will tell everyone how well they do things, so that more Chileans trust in you and we are again a community, at a distance, but the one that unites us the love for the heavy music. Thank you
How much room do you think would be left if I just brought one guitar? I was thinking of using the other slot for an AX8 and clothes for the convenience of air travel.
Hey Brother, I just bought your solo Album to show you my support to what you do on your RUclips Channel. Great job man! Keep doing what you are doing it works!

Ola I have a question for you, as the manufacturer of the Solar guitars and a player of them, would it put you off/upset you if I bought one and ripped the solar pickups out and put in fishman fluency? I know there are guitarist who get bent out of shape if you change "their" tone options, you seem far to awesome to care, but thought I'd ask
@@OlaEnglund Cool, the reason I asked is because I was got lectured at a guitar clinic when I asked if I could order a guitar with different pickups, "No, these pickups are voice for this guitar, this guitar is designed with these pickups, this is how this guitar is supposed to sound" and kind of talk down to from that point on. needless to say I didn't buy their guitar - plus it was mahogany with a maple cap, they didn't re-invent the wheel. Anyone thank you for the reply, I look forward to getting one of the V's as soon as I can actually locate one in the states :)
I am sure that if you hat told the people at scott dxion the body shape of your guitar they would have made special inserts for it to give it more protection
I wnna come see you when you come to Sydney Australia!! But I fuckin can’t coz the venue is 18+. Instead I’ll just stay at home crying coz I can’t see my god OLA ENGLUND 😭
Remember to put the guitar upside down in the case before going to Australia.
Ola, how about "Ola cooking shit"?
And theeeen "Ola taking a shit"
@@LeftHandedRightHanded ola talking shit??
Raw Meat only.
Ola, the chef
"Ola tasting shit" how bout dat cuz
You know what would be great in one of these cases? A Solar Bass.
I'm going to put this comment on all your videos until you make one

New case looks cool. I like pointy shaped metal guitars , and I've had trouble finding good cases that fit and protect them also.
