The other day I was thinking I wanted a really obnoxious pointy metal guitar. A trade later, and here it is. Tried to capture how brightly it almost glows. Out in the sun it’s ridiculous.

Incidentally, when you're shopping for your 1 guitar a year, don't sleep on these. Sets up really nicely, can go stupid low if that's your thing. The Duncan Solar pickups are great, too. Based on a C5 and '59, great clean or with ignorant amounts of gain. I'd definitely buy another Solar.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt

In my personal experience with both, Solar guitars are nearly identical to their earlier Washburn counterparts in terms of feel, build quality, design, etc. However, Ola has heavily expanded the Solar range with some very unique finishes and more premium options than Washburn would ever have offered. Obviously, the brand has been quite successful for him (due in large part to his "influencer" status and strategic marketing, of course).

Don't like the pointy or the reverse headstock but LOVE the color. Killer!
The color actually suits and compliments the pointy style, but I'd like to see what that color does to a more "conventional" shaped guitar.Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

If you care about guitars being lightweight, it's well under 7lbs and balances well. With a 3" leather strap, it would probably feel weightless.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt
