I spent 4 hours moving drum mics and gain staging the levels, tuning the drums to perfection. Unfortunately between that and band practice I was too burnt out to record a good take. Back at it tomorrow.
I'm super happy that Solar fully embraces the Evertune...seems to be the only company on the market right now that cares about how the guitar plays, rather than being afraid of change
Man you got balls putting a 6-in-line headstock on a single cut. The Gibson purists are gonna come for you. For real though if I had my way, every guitar would have a 6-in-line reversed headstock.
I suggest taking the logo off the guitar's body. Similar thing happened with Gus G's signature pickups (they had his band's logo) and after a while they removed it.
Hey Ola I just wanted to say Thank you for everything. You were one of the only channels that made me laugh and feel better during my cancer treatment, I love you man keep it up I support you all the way.
If you trolled the audience into believing there'd never be a single cut only to show the goods, the next logical conclusion is the 7 string V. Do. It. Please. Ola. No other company makes a 7 string V.
@@svtvn9693 Not the biggest fan of the Rhoads, just looks wrong with 7 strings, not big on the Corey Beaulieu V, ESP hasn't made a 7 string V in a few years, and they're almost impossible to find on the used market. Solar should be the one to step up with their superior ergonomic and metal design, they'd sell great.
I’m so happy you made a single cut but put your own unique spin on the design so that it doesn’t just look like another Les Paul design rip-off. This is the one I will own. Thanks again! Now get to work on those basses you’re never going to make either. 🤘
love the body, love the headstock, HATE the huge logo on the body! image if ibanez wrote 'IBANEZ' all across their bodies nobody would buy em i would definitely buy one if there's a version without the giant logo
Hey Ola! Loved your NAMM video and see you having fun at there. Also its so cool to see you taking care of your guitars, working and stuff like that... Love your channel. All the best for you and your family!
I'm guessing 25.5. There are 24 frets (the Type E has 22) and the pickups don't look that close together. Maybe an idea was borrowed from PRS and Chapman and it's 25".
OLA! How long did you ever stay awake in a row? why? how did it feel? did you take drugs? coffee counts as a drug! best wishes to your wonderfull, smart and supportive wife
I can personally appreciate and respect your work ethic. Another example of putting in hard work and eventually it pays off. You totally deserve all the current and future successes coming your way, keep up the greatness! PS. A great ROTD, Bloodbath - Eaten, such a brutally awesome song.
Hey ola, just saw “the ritual” on Netflix, an horror movie about a bunch of British guys getting lost in the Swedish woods. And then SPOILER ALERT They are chased by a weird beast that looks like a moose with human hands and yellow eyes...really weird. Do you have it in your folklore book? Thanks!
The monster in "The Ritual" is not based on anything in Nordic folklore. The closest analogue I can think of is the "Leshy" from Slavic mythology (appears as the "Woodland Spirit" in The Witcher 3). That movie could've been really great, but for someone like myself with insight into Norse mythology and Swedish folklore, it gets pretty ridiculous very fast. Norse mythology is 99% forgotten, subsequently re-imagined and bastardized by Christian monks in the 1200-1700's. I think it's important to remember that what we have now is almost certainly not even almost close to what actually was.
Frederik Larsson oh alright! Thank you very much for the answer! I’ll go check it out then. Yeah I agree the movie started great and ended really lame I guess...
Hey Ola, love watching you every Sunday with my husband! I have a couple questions...first, what inspires you to play/write music these days? And second, what is tour favorite genre of movies? Thanks for inspiring me to build awesome guitars! Rock on 🥰🥰🥰
Tjena Ola! I play gypsy jazz, but you've inspired me to start writing metal riffs again. And.. I just ordered me a Solar guitar. Keep up your amazing work! Cheers från Malmö!
I have a set coupled with the floyd rose in my schecter hellraiser and they are definitely cool but get a guitar that has them in it or get ready for some body work
Recently got the Fluence Modern set. Absolutely insane. So go with those if you want actives. No going wrong with Seymour Duncan for passives. I personally have the Nazgul. Great humbucker.
If you're not sure you want EMGs, don't get EMGs. You either love them or hate them. I'm in the latter category. I'd say what Alberto says - Fishman for actives, Duncan for passives. If you're willing to spend a bit, I'd recommend checking out BKPs, especially Warpigs.
thaamazingmexican mexicodid9/11 Pat used EMG’s for the majority of his career with CC up till recently. I think the problem with EMGs, and it’s not the pickups, is that they have been around for sooooo long they are kinda like the pickup equivalent of “grandad guitars”. I love them though.
You most def. have more than one job sir. You’re the CEO of solar, play guitar for the haunted, TH-cam, and you do guitar clinics. That’s 4 jobs right there. You’re the man and I wish you the best. Hope you continue your well deserved success!!
ESP just released a Reba Meyers SG style guitar with the same headstock as this. Different but quite cool. Also no break angle from nut to tuning pegs.
There are enough of those already.. This is now my dream guitar specifically because its the first single cut i have seen with a reverse inline pointy badass headstock
Can't wait for that new guitar to be released...love the logo and the fact that it's right on the front if the guitar and it's a single cut...yup I will be keeping an eye on this my man.
Man, I remember recording on my old Fostex four tracker in the 90s after college. Made me a better player because I was forced to give a performance when I recorded. Mistakes created a lot of work and cost time.
Hey Ola, I love your channel but I am having a serious problem: I watch so much that now every time I think about something guitar related I hear your dumb Swedish accent in my head. Is there any chance you can speak differently so I don't go insane? Thanks brah
Hey ola, I really enjoy what you do ! You keep me motivated, in fact it's hard for me to go through one of your videos without wanting to grab my guitar in the middle of it and make it chug too ! So yeah, thank you so much !
I think the Ola-Logo Single Cut looks great. I love it. This is the only single-cut guitar I have ever seen in my life with a pointy headstock or with in-line tuners that did not look absolutely shitty. Other guitar companies are stupid for not hiring Ola to design their guitars. So many other guitars would look great if Ola helped design them.
Hey Ola. Long time subscriber but first comment. In my view! When you can't decide in a riff variation always go with the simplest one. Love the new SC dude especially with the gloss logo. Thanks from Nottingham Uk.
Me and my girlfriend love watching these every Sunday to ease the hangovers! What are your fave tubes to use in your amps and how often do you replace them?
Thanks for taking time to talk and take a pic at NAMM. Hope you enjoyed your coffee card, sorry it wasn’t much but it’s the least I could do especially since you make these amazing videos for us for free.
OH MY OLA!!! I got my 10 euro signed Feared Cd (mega thanx for it!) and now the single cut Solar? F###cking love this one! What a great week man! Awesome!!!
keep the folklore of the day coming, great segment. Thank you for the constant flow of quality content. Quick question, have you ever heard Vildhjarta or Stoor Neer?
Love the new CD. My wife got it for me for my birthday on 1/30/2019. It is the next best thing since sliced bread. Keep up the chugging your pal from U.S.A. Richie baby fingers!
Excellent work on the single cut. This is probably the most aggressively styled single cut I have seen. Definitely unique. I love it. When do we get to see that A1.8 you teased now? :p
I know i told you this at NAMM, but thank you so much for coming, it really means a lot that you take the time to talk to your fans, my girlfriend enjoyed meeting you as well. P.s. thanks for signing my HM2 stomp plate it is now 10x more Swedish 🤘🏻☠️🤘🏻
WAZZZAAAAAA!
Looks awesome, the live vid from NAMM was awesome
Whoooooo
Fight Night was the best. Makes me want to get it again!
I spent 4 hours moving drum mics and gain staging the levels, tuning the drums to perfection. Unfortunately between that and band practice I was too burnt out to record a good take. Back at it tomorrow.
I cant find that DB meter anywhere I look :O im so sad it looks so nice
I really hope that solo album cover doesn't change, and the name of the album be "NOT ACTUAL COVER"
I'm super happy that Solar fully embraces the Evertune...seems to be the only company on the market right now that cares about how the guitar plays, rather than being afraid of change
It was a pleasure meeting you and all of your fellow Solar colleagues my dude! You're all fantastic human beings.
The solar guitar isn't even solar powered. What a rip off
Correct. It's Ola powered.
is powered with WAAAAZZAAAAAAAA
Hey Ola, thanks for answering my question and sharing the Facing Death Demo, sounds cool!!!!
Man you got balls putting a 6-in-line headstock on a single cut. The Gibson purists are gonna come for you. For real though if I had my way, every guitar would have a 6-in-line reversed headstock.
100% agree! Did we just become best friends?
@@leonhefner3260 I hope so. I don't have one in real life.
It looks killer but I noticed myself thinking that it looks wrong on a lespaulish body, but f%ck it. It's Ola and it's cool.
@@taunokekkonen5733 the only thing that looks wrong about it is that it's not in my hands.
@@viatheheathen9087 i was inches away from buying the Artist Ltd. but the neck is so different from my preference that I had to leave it.
Dear Ola, burps, sarcasm, humble, awesome sense of humor, and a total guitar god. I just want to say you are my favorite Swede and TH-cam personality.
I suggest taking the logo off the guitar's body.
Similar thing happened with Gus G's signature pickups (they had his band's logo) and after a while they removed it.
Love the guitar!!! Got to talk to you at NAMM. Thanks Ola, you are a cool guy =)
Just subscribed to your channel. Love all those songs.. Come to Houston some time!
You guys are awesome, not only you and your sister (I hope that is your sister) are both really beautiful but also you guys can really play, awesome.
Yes, that is my sister Sasha and I am Kiana. Thank you very much =)
Attempt No.4: Хола Ола, have you tried playing scalloped frets? If so, what do you think of them?
Hey Ola I just wanted to say Thank you for everything. You were one of the only channels that made me laugh and feel better during my cancer treatment, I love you man keep it up I support you all the way.
ooooooh that ola logo on the body is soooo kick-ass!
Absolutely LOVE that single-cut!
If you trolled the audience into believing there'd never be a single cut only to show the goods, the next logical conclusion is the 7 string V.
Do. It. Please. Ola. No other company makes a 7 string V.
Esp makes 7 string Vs and so does Jackson on occasion
@@svtvn9693
Not the biggest fan of the Rhoads, just looks wrong with 7 strings, not big on the Corey Beaulieu V, ESP hasn't made a 7 string V in a few years, and they're almost impossible to find on the used market. Solar should be the one to step up with their superior ergonomic and metal design, they'd sell great.
@@svtvn9693 the only 7 string v guitars are signiture models and are almost unattainable.
Schecter?
B.C. Rich?
I’m so happy you made a single cut but put your own unique spin on the design so that it doesn’t just look like another Les Paul design rip-off. This is the one I will own. Thanks again! Now get to work on those basses you’re never going to make either. 🤘
Hey Ola, if the kitten was the actual cover of your album i would buy it immediately :D i'm serious though
Hell yeah!! It was awesome meeting you at NAMM ola!!
love the body, love the headstock, HATE the huge logo on the body!
image if ibanez wrote 'IBANEZ' all across their bodies
nobody would buy em
i would definitely buy one if there's a version without the giant logo
love to see a documentary, younger ola till now, the bands youve been in how you started out through to now, love the vids!!
Hi Ola, Do you look forward to the new Dream Theater album?
Awesome! That Facing Death demo is the best thing you've done so far. Great work, Ola! Keep it up!
Awesome guitar only two things:
Please no logo or evertune
Keep rockin
I love single cuts, and I love Ola. This is perfection
Would be awesome, if it is green with black Logo
Hey Ola! Loved your NAMM video and see you having fun at there. Also its so cool to see you taking care of your guitars, working and stuff like that... Love your channel. All the best for you and your family!
is it 24 and 3/4? or 25.5?
I was just going to ask, too.
Probably 25.5
The Type E has a 24.75" scale so I'd expect this to be the same.
I'm guessing 25.5. There are 24 frets (the Type E has 22) and the pickups don't look that close together. Maybe an idea was borrowed from PRS and Chapman and it's 25".
If it's 25.5, I'll buy it straight away!
LOVE THE SINGLE CUT! I’m tempted to make one of those my next guitar
OLA! How long did you ever stay awake in a row? why? how did it feel? did you take drugs? coffee counts as a drug! best wishes to your wonderfull, smart and supportive wife
He's a swede, of course he was on coffee. Swedes basically bleed coffee, since swedes drink coffee literally all day long.
Ingenious way of putting your logo on the guitar... It's there but it's really subtle.... Mabuhay Solar Guitars!
To be honest I'm not a huge fan of the huge glossy Ola logo on the single cut :/ rest looks kickass tho. Kisses bro
Petros Elathan Exactly my thoughts the guitar looks beautiful but the ola logo will keep me from buying one
I was hoping that was like a prototype with a custom paint job. Ola kicks ass but not so much to want his huge ass logo on my guitar lol
It’s a prototype from made months ago
I can personally appreciate and respect your work ethic. Another example of putting in hard work and eventually it pays off. You totally deserve all the current and future successes coming your way, keep up the greatness! PS. A great ROTD, Bloodbath - Eaten, such a brutally awesome song.
Hey ola, just saw “the ritual” on Netflix, an horror movie about a bunch of British guys getting lost in the Swedish woods. And then SPOILER ALERT
They are chased by a weird beast that looks like a moose with human hands and yellow eyes...really weird. Do you have it in your folklore book?

You mean the movie were Sweden looks nothing like Sweden and it gets dark at night in the summer? It sucked.
@@SirRunk666 Lol
Cool movie!
Ola - Swede. Thank you so much for replying to my question about your counters. It was a thrill for my family and I to hear you talk to us.
on will it chug will you do the fender mustang gt40 (or the 100 or 200)?? please!?!
Chugging with a Fender amp sounds weird if you speak it out loud
@@niklasfreericks5436 yeah but if you pair it with the 5150 overdrive pedal it sounds great
Hey Ola, love watching you every Sunday with my husband! I have a couple questions...first, what inspires you to play/write music these days? And second, what is tour favorite genre of movies? Thanks for inspiring me to build awesome guitars! Rock on 🥰🥰🥰
do you only record music with solar guitars?
Tjena Ola! I play gypsy jazz, but you've inspired me to start writing metal riffs again. And.. I just ordered me a Solar guitar. Keep up your amazing work! Cheers från Malmö!
hi ola, i think you're really cool. what are you thoughts on sustainiac pickups/have you ever tried one?
I have a set coupled with the floyd rose in my schecter hellraiser and they are definitely cool but get a guitar that has them in it or get ready for some body work
Absolutely love it and the headstock looks badass on that guitar!!
Wait, didn’t you say you hated single cut guitars and you didn’t plan to do one for Solar? Or was that just misdirection?
Pretty sure it was a misdirection like saying "No, it's never gonna happen." About the Satan 50 like a couple days/weeks before it was announced.
Well lets hope this is the case with the ml shape to if he made one of those people would kick down his door to get one.
Watch the video...lol
watch the video
Can't wait to see the guitar on the web site !
Hey Ola, my birthday is next Saturday, do you think I should get me a Fishman fluence, a emg or a Seymour Duncan?
Not the same price range. But i'd say Seymour for passive and Fishman for active.
Still prefer Fishman, these pickups are incredible.
Recently got the Fluence Modern set. Absolutely insane. So go with those if you want actives.
No going wrong with Seymour Duncan for passives. I personally have the Nazgul. Great humbucker.
@@MikeMrqs I saw pat O'Brien had those on his guitar, might get them

Wrong headstock on that singlecut. 3x3 headstock, and I'm in!
The point is to be different. Not every single cut needs a 3 3
ESP just released a Reba Meyers SG style guitar with the same headstock as this. Different but quite cool. Also no break angle from nut to tuning pegs.
I think it should be 3x3, but something unique. Not just the regular old les Paul looking 3x3.
Unleash The Fury same here
There are enough of those already.. This is now my dream guitar specifically because its the first single cut i have seen with a reverse inline pointy badass headstock
Can't wait for that new guitar to be released...love the logo and the fact that it's right on the front if the guitar and it's a single cut...yup I will be keeping an eye on this my man.
I like the guitar but i dont like the logo on it. :-P
Solar single-cut, awesome!!!!! I can't wait to try one. Please keep us updated on the release date. Thank you.
Ola, please make the non actual cover the actual cover 😂
Love the single cut. Awsome u put the evertune in it. Great job man
The body shape is cool but not the headstock, i think a 3x3 headstock would be even cooler
ok
I didnt like the logo on the body aswell
Man, I remember recording on my old Fostex four tracker in the 90s after college. Made me a better player because I was forced to give a performance when I recorded. Mistakes created a lot of work and cost time.

Wat du ju meen? Vi tålk veri bjeutifully!
Full thickness body, toggle instead of five-way, and keep that neck joint. Perfect.
Nice! I just downloaded the Facing Death demo. Very cool to hear some of your earlier riffs and ideas!
Hey ola, I really enjoy what you do ! You keep me motivated, in fact it's hard for me to go through one of your videos without wanting to grab my guitar in the middle of it and make it chug too ! So yeah, thank you so much !
Didn’t realise your album came with the digital files if you preordered it! That’s a great thing to do, so, thank you, even more excited now!

Congrats on 303k man!
Stay Metal
Oh that guitar is just gorgeous
That single cut looks awesome!!
That single cut is amazing!!!
The new single cut looks sick!!
I love your guitars, I think the flat black with the shinny logo looks great, especially if it was on a double cut away!
The cool thing about this guitar is that you can play it - Ola 2019
i purchased the solar guitars gc 2.6 c it is gorgeous and has a nice sound. I like the aesthetics is fascinating.Thank you Ola
Great meeting you at namm you tall beautiful Swede. Solar Guitars are awesome in person!
