ESP guitars manufacturing countries are: ESP - Japan (Hand made) ESP USA - Have a wild guess E II - Japan (Factory made) LTD - Far east, (Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, China).
no manufacturer makes 'handmade' guitars anymore in the true sense of the word. they're hand assembled and 'hand finished'. automated CNCs do the bulk of the work for speed and consistency.
Dude you’re hilarious, I’m hooked on your FAQ vids. I love how you deal with negative shit people comment, and how you turn it all into something of a joke and keep on rollin’ and trollin’ and stuff. Actually, your not much of a troll but you sure do roll. Hell yeah, dude. You help me stay inspired. You’re a pretty damn genuine person.
ESP are made in the custom shop, ESP E-II used to be called ESP standard and they are made in Japan, ESP ltd are the affordable “mass production” version’s made in Korea china or Indonesia.
Hey Ola, thanks for that comment about how inspired you were after 4 weeks with no playing. I fractured my elbow and my right hand is in a cast - I'm not touching the guitar for 2-3 weeks, gonna miss a gig my band's playing (it's a tiny club so they're going to play with just one guitar and hope for the best) and all that fun stuff. It's been 7 days already, so it's either a week or two weeks more. Thanks, this made me feel a little better ;)
The fact you mentioned esp and ibanez as the guitar choices you had for metal and that you went towards ibanez more is definitely reassuring that im making the right choices. I love my ibanez and my thrash metal so hearing you say that PHEW
I gave so much fun with your channel. You deserve sooo many much subscribers. If I finaly buy a solar guitar (maybe the next year) would you sing it for me?
Hi Ola, are you planing to develop more colors&finishes options for the Solar models any time soon? I already own an A1.6 ARTIST LTD, and would also love to get a 7 string (hopefully in another cool finish). Thank you
Dear Ola, thank you so much for your videos. I really enjoy watching. Could you please make another video how to adjust a guitar. For instance, I am especially interested in changing string gauges. Would you recommend replacing and filing the nut by yourself? Cheers.
KEITH MERROW! Yes he needs to do a LOT more youtube stuff! I just got a Schecter KM 6 a couple weeks ago and LOVE it! Sorry Ola, I was waiting to get it for 3 years... Solar guitar is next! :D
What’s your opinion on Bareknuckle pickups? Will Solar ever come with them? Aftermath, Ragnarok, Juggernaut or any other model? You should do a comparison video....🤘🏿💀🤘🏿
Hey Ola, i am following your Channel since one year, maybe longer.Whatching your Videos always takes a big smile on my face and your Stuff from The Haunted and Feared is my daily Soundtrack. These are my first questions. What Pleks you are using? What's your favorite String Gauges on different tunings? Last but not least would there be a review of the Peavey 6550MH in the Future?
What are your thoughts on The Jester Race? Its my favorite album from your neck of the woods, and one of the most influential metal albums in my career as a musician nobody has ever heard of.
1) Do you have any tips for an unsigned, up-and-coming band to get on a larger, more-established tour? 2) Have you ever had creative differences with other band members while writing an album or tension between band members while on tour? If so, how did you overcome those obstacles?
Hola Ola, I watched this video when I was having breakfast and then I had to pee but I still watched the video while I was peeing. Awesome experience, it gave more sense to my whole life.
Hi Ola, will be there available left-handed models equipped with Evertune? I would love to buy such one. I am asking in order to know, if I should wait until lefty models will be released or just grab something else. Thanks.
Ola, I've recently become a serious fan of your videos! Funny, informative and killer riffs ;) You mentioned you have your own line of guitars - is this the solar?
Hi Ola I'm a big Dean guitars fan and Solar fan. I would love to see you some reviews on some Dean guitar models for a lot of people look down on them. Thanks ~ Dan from Missouri, USA
the response you gave to the everything is awesome comment made me choke and spit my coffee all over myself lol, it made my day, definitely needed a good laugh. - Kevin
Working for a pickup company is one thing, but bald-faced lying about products from said company is another thing altogether. A person is worthless if I can't trust the words that come out of their mouth.
Well, there was his video on Dimebuckers, which Dime actually never used in any live or recording situation, touting them as the "best way to achieve Dime's tone." If you can get your hands on them, Ken Lawrence L500XLs are the *only* way to get close to Dime's tone. Dimebuckers sound like utter shit, and are sadly some of the most expensive pickups on the market. They are the only pickup I consider to be worse than SD Invaders, and that's saying something. Then there's the fact that his Seymour Duncan videos are glorified advertisements masquerading as reviews. That's pretty dishonest if you ask me. Have you ever heard him say a single negative thing about a Seymour Duncan product? The answer is probably no, and that should concern you. Endorsing a product is one thing, but literally turning yourself into a glorified PR guy for one of the blandest sounding pickup manufacturers on the planet is quite another. Seymour Duncan is a shitty, massively over-priced company, and Keith Merrow handles PR for them. I don't trust anyone who works PR, and you shouldn't either. Their job is to lie and sell you a product. Nuff said.
Hi BrOla. In recent room/studio tour you mentioned a guitar made in Poland. Can You tell more about it and how it compare to other guitars ? Keep being awesome !! :D
Hi Ola What you think about Chuck Schuldiner from ''Death" and his playing Style/singing voice that was f***ing brilliant!? So sad He past away. Keep Care of you man
ESP is the best big name guitar company when it comes to quality, consistency, aesthetics and affordability. LTD's are 80% of the guitar awesomeness of an ESP for like 40% of the price. Can't beat that
No doubt, not sure what they were thinking when they brought the E-II brand into it. They had a "standard series" with the ESP logo on the headstock that was at the price point the E-II's are now. If you're paying over 1500(new) it should say ESP on the headstock, period.
What song or riff have you written that you are most proud of? What riff from another band do you wish you wrote? Excluding Walk, I know that one is up there.
Up watching your videos at 4 am... Anyhow, do you listen to Death (Chuck Schuldiner) at all? If so, what’s your favorite album? P.S. greetings from the US.
Chuck was so metal he didn’t have to worry about being metal. A tremendous human being. I love listening to Richard Christy talk about the prank calls they used to do together, which is incredible considering how great Richards prank calls on the stern show are.
Tjena Ola, Any tips on some "must-haves" gear and/or personal favorites (amps/pedals) when it comes to playing thrash metal? Tack för en jävligt underhållande kanal, Skål!
Hey Ola! I wondering if you have a technique for organize your time for working. music, video content, father, etc. you look so fresh! greetings from Guatemala City.
Hey Ola, a few years back you did a guitar clinic in the UK, I didn't get to attend at the time. Do you have any plans for future guitar clinics? Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Hi Ola. I know people prefer different types of guitar bridge, since some of them have certain possibilities that ohters don't, also the confort to play them may differ from person to person, as well as the issues of changing strings and tuning, and with that, i would like to ask you, what's your favourite movie? Regards
Hi from Russia Ola! I’ve got some question about guitar for Drop B tuning, or what should i buy: 25.5 guitar with evertune, 27 baritone or multiscale guitar? Thanks a lot, love your videos!
wow 🤤😂 i just descovered your the guitar player for the haunted band one of my favourite thrash / heavy metal bands i enjoy your chanel and i always had the thought that i saw you somewhere daaauuugh 😂 until i did a little search and wow such a small world . 🤘 you rule and the haunted too lowd kick ass vicious band love you
3:11 Queue the cricket sound effects and for dramatic effect, give it 5 seconds and then facepalm really quick! *THAT WAS A VERY EXTRA SPECIAL QUESTION.*
ESP also has three Japan exclusive sub-brands called Edwards, Navigator and Grassroots. They may have even more. I think Edwards has those cool "pickguard guitars" that's just a Strat, but everything is cut off except the pickguard.
Hi Ola. When did you start to write your own songs and do you have some old recordings? What was the name of your first band? Keep up the good work. Been watching your channel for years
Ola, I would really be interested in seeing a video based on Artists or Bands that are currently playing your Solar Guitars. It might also be a great time to promote some bands that you believe some people really need to hear. Thanks.
Hello Ola How about a bass pedal shoot out like ( dUg Pinnick's is f-n killer) (and the DarkGlass alfa-omegacron) would love to hear your take on both...
Ola sounds like you need to try sone of the EMGs that are made to sound passive like the Het Set and 57/66 set, EMGs sound great with certain tones, for thrash they are great

Hi Ola, can I get your opinion on Digitech/DOD pedals and multi-effect processors?
You're my fav too buddy!

ESP guitars manufacturing countries are:
ESP - Japan (Hand made)
ESP USA - Have a wild guess
E II - Japan (Factory made)
LTD - Far east, (Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, China).
Funky Monkey1886 i dont know what to do with that information.
Jk thanks
no manufacturer makes 'handmade' guitars anymore in the true sense of the word. they're hand assembled and 'hand finished'. automated CNCs do the bulk of the work for speed and consistency.
80386 ESP Original Series and Custom Shop guitars are still handmade though...
what about Edwards dude ?
Kurayame Dark Factory made in Japan. Grassroots are Korea. I didn't include them as they're Japan only, not worldwide.
Thanks, Ola. I caught a cold recently and your high pitched voice has unplugged my ears.
Dude you’re hilarious, I’m hooked on your FAQ vids. I love how you deal with negative shit people comment, and how you turn it all into something of a joke and keep on rollin’ and trollin’ and stuff. Actually, your not much of a troll but you sure do roll.
Hell yeah, dude. You help me stay inspired. You’re a pretty damn genuine person.
Probably one of the funniest in a while. I like all your vids, but good to see you having fun. Makes this video gold
I Like the question on people who are better. I see that as motivation to get better and not demotivation. They are people you can learn from.
PLEASE never stop these! I genuinely end up crying laughing from some of these FAQ’s 😂😂
Ey Ola. Everytime I am watching your videos, my wife comes and says "oh god, are you watching that guy again?". What can I do? Cheers from Denmark!
ESP are made in the custom shop, ESP E-II used to be called ESP standard and they are made in Japan, ESP ltd are the affordable “mass production” version’s made in Korea china or Indonesia.
The Korean LTD's are awesome for the money.
Hey Ola, thanks for that comment about how inspired you were after 4 weeks with no playing.

100% agree with Keith Merrow needing top put out more videos
Hey Ola, I know Solar is a guitar line but...any chance of a Solar Bass?
Make it a V shaped bass!
He said in a previous video he's open to making bass models if the guitars continue to do well.
I gave so much fun with your channel. You deserve sooo many much subscribers.
If I finaly buy a solar guitar (maybe the next year) would you sing it for me?
He might even sign it!
What song would he sing?
Well... Everybody wants a signed guitar or whatever, i wanna be the only one with a singed guitar.
Hi Ola, are you planing to develop more colors&finishes options for the Solar models any time soon? I already own an A1.6 ARTIST LTD, and would also love to get a 7 string (hopefully in another cool finish). Thank you
Thanks for your really cool videos Ola! 🤘🏻
Why do I idolize this beautiful, talented & humble dork.... right the chuggs.
You make me feel the joy that I could never feel in my real life. I love you 😘
Ola should review Chapman and vice versa.

Hugs from Argentina.
Dear Ola, thank you so much for your videos. I really enjoy watching. Could you please make another video how to adjust a guitar. For instance, I am especially interested in changing string gauges. Would you recommend replacing and filing the nut by yourself? Cheers.

Salam Ola, your FAQ videos never fail to amaze me.

What’s your opinion on Bareknuckle pickups? Will Solar ever come with them? Aftermath, Ragnarok, Juggernaut or any other model? You should do a comparison video....🤘🏿💀🤘🏿

Hola Ola, I watched this video when I was having breakfast and then I had to pee but I still watched the video while I was peeing. Awesome experience, it gave more sense to my whole life.
YOLA, if you could pick to be any animal in the world what would you be, and why is it the komodo dragon?

Laughed so hard during this video. Love your channel Ola!

Ola, I've recently become a serious fan of your videos! Funny, informative and killer riffs ;) You mentioned you have your own line of guitars - is this the solar?

Hi Ola , what's your opinion on Dv Mark products ? And have you ever try the Multiamp or the Little 250 M ?
Keith Merrow
Keith Merrow is a fucking sell-out, and has been so since he turned into a glorified PR guy for Seymour Duncan.
+INF1D3L010 Well, he worked for Seymour Duncan. I love his riff-writing, and he seems to be a cool guy.
Working for a pickup company is one thing, but bald-faced lying about products from said company is another thing altogether. A person is worthless if I can't trust the words that come out of their mouth.
+ INF1D3L010 just give me some examples man, i havent heard about him lying yet.
Well, there was his video on Dimebuckers, which Dime actually never used in any live or recording situation, touting them as the "best way to achieve Dime's tone."

I've never seen such an amazing dab in my life.
Ola, I find your videos interesting, funny and informative. I think you are an AWESOME GUITARIST! peace.
That Sonic Adventure in the intro warmed my heart.
Love the channel. Your videos are great. Now for a question. What do you think of Legator guitars?

Hi BrOla.
In recent room/studio tour you mentioned a guitar made in Poland.
Can You tell more about it and how it compare to other guitars ?

This was my favorite FAQ so far
Hi Ola wondering when the next line of Solar guitars will be ready for shipping?? Love you videos keep up the good work
Hi Ola
What you think about Chuck Schuldiner from ''Death" and his playing Style/singing voice that was f***ing brilliant!?
So sad He past away.
Keep Care of you man
ESP is the best big name guitar company when it comes to quality, consistency, aesthetics and affordability.
LTD's are 80% of the guitar awesomeness of an ESP for like 40% of the price. Can't beat that
Hola Ola, will you compromise on playability if you like the looks of a guitar, or will you compromise on looks if you like the playability?
Hello ola If you ever do make an solar bass guitar i hope you can also make a 5 string with an 35" scale and possibly 18-19mm string spacing 🤘😰🤘
Best and cheap metal amp for LIVE performances????🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤👊
No doubt, not sure what they were thinking when they brought the E-II brand into it. They had a "standard series" with the ESP logo on the headstock that was at the price point the E-II's are now. If you're paying over 1500(new) it should say ESP on the headstock, period.
KEITH MERROW FOR THE WIN. Definitely need more content from him.
What song or riff have you written that you are most proud of? What riff from another band do you wish you wrote? Excluding Walk, I know that one is up there.

Hola Ola! Can you make a tutorial for the Domination by Pantera guitar solo ? I struggle really hard on the stretch part . Thanks !
This is an amazing channel. I just subscribed
Hi from Russia Ola! I’ve got some question about guitar for Drop B tuning, or what should i buy: 25.5 guitar with evertune, 27 baritone or multiscale guitar? Thanks a lot, love your videos!
Hi Ola. First great videos, what do you think about B.C. Rich guitars? I like the shape of the guitars e.g. the Warbeast.

Hi Ola, do you plan on making more guitar lessons, especially when it comes to songwriting approaches? Thanks Ola, you're an epic guitar player.
Your awesome.. always cracking me up.
I like the poo ones.
hey Ola love these videos, do you prefer neck-thru or bolt-on guitars?
3:11 Queue the cricket sound effects and for dramatic effect, give it 5 seconds and then facepalm really quick! *THAT WAS A VERY EXTRA SPECIAL QUESTION.*
ESP also has three Japan exclusive sub-brands called Edwards, Navigator and Grassroots. They may have even more.
I think Edwards has those cool "pickguard guitars" that's just a Strat, but everything is cut off except the pickguard.
Totally with ya on Mr. MosterMerrow. Ola, are you coming to Frankfurt this year?
Thanks for the answer, Ola!
Hi Ola. When did you start to write your own songs and do you have some old recordings? What was the name of your first band? Keep up the good work. Been watching your channel for years
Ola, and 8 string models with your new brand? I have come across any. Also a locking nut with a fixed bridge for tuning stability would be rad.
Ola you should try emgs with 24 or 27v mod. The dynamics changes a lot!
What advice could you give in becoming more technical/precise in playing.
OMG, dude, I love your sense of humor. You rock!
Ola, I would really be interested in seeing a video based on Artists or Bands that are currently playing your Solar Guitars. It might also be a great time to promote some bands that you believe some people really need to hear.
Thanks.
Beginning was gold!
Hello Ola
How about a bass pedal shoot out like
( dUg Pinnick's is f-n killer) (and the DarkGlass alfa-omegacron) would love to hear your take on both...
Hello Ola! What are your thoughts on Sonic franchise since it was playing for the entirety of the FAQ? \m/
Ola sounds like you need to try sone of the EMGs that are made to sound passive like the Het Set and 57/66 set, EMGs sound great with certain tones, for thrash they are great
