I was introduced to Washburn guitars when I purchased a 2002 CS-780 and I've been blown away because it plays so well. I'm really interested in Washburn guitars now and I definitely have the V 160 on my radar as my next guitar. Great demo!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for in my next guitar. Extreme shape, comfortable to play, hardtail bridge, dynamic and clear pickups and a reverse headstock. For £650 too! Thank you Ola and Washburn.
I built a neck through rhoads out of wenge with huge top bevels like that. Definitely more comfortable. I'd like to see a different bridge, but other than that... Looks great.
Leonardo Alejandro Reyna Yeah, I understand. I just meant in Ola's case specifically. He seems like more of a chuggy rhythm guy. I might be mistaken though.
I would to buy soon this guitar but I want to know more info about this Duncan Solar pick up. Are this Duncan Designed made in Corea and which magnet and resistence have it?
Nice guitar for sure and those pickups sound awesome. I would be afraid I would gig my dog with those pointed tips the guitar has, LOL. I will be looking for this bad boy to hit the stores!!
I can't seem to find this guitar from any online dealers. I live in the U.S., more specifically Arizona. What's going on with this model I cannot find it and I can't think of any other guitar I'd want than this! So frustrating..
hi all. thinking about gettin that axe 2016 model. do you think is worthy to change The pickups that come wih The guitar for a nazgul SD set? or are they kind of equal?
Looks & sounds incredible,...!! So I just had to get me one, so I special ordered the solar V carbon black through Sweetwater.com...Great demo & thanks...!!
I want to get this guitar as it seems like the most comfortable V you could get, it has great specs, but... I'm not sure about the Buzz Feiten system. I read it requires a specific tuning method, and that the saddles at the bridge are set at the factory according to some special offset, for the specific string gauge. So what happens if I want to switch tunings and string gauges often? Can I intonate and tune the guitar normally or do I need to replace the nut first?
I always loved flying Vs! In a couple of weeks I'm getting this one :) I hope that Ola sign it when he comes to Chile... Ola let's trade Beer for autograph :)!
bueeena te iba a preguntar algo en ingles y cache que eras de chile jsjajsjs es comoda al tocar en los trastes de abajo? no se si elegir la V o la 160c
+Ola Englund Well I know what I'm treating myself to for Christmas. Any idea on prices? Is it going to be in the same price range as your other guitars (approx £600)?
Fuck Yeah! that is awesome. I had no idea you liked Vs Ola. hey bytheway, I noticed you used to play baritone 7 string guitars at 25.5 inch scale i think, and now your washburn seven string signatures are 25.5 inch scale, why the change?
Where can I buy this guitar? I checked in the washburn site where it says find a dealer with amazon and guitar center and all that but they say they dont have it :/ I live in Colombia by the way, maybe it is because of that.... Help?
grandiosolo max simo llegaa a chile y sieran una gira con los gitarristas mas secos como o bagistas como tom de eslayer de w.a.s.p un senfin de los maestros de la gitarra o bagistas
Not with active pickups, no. But you can always buy EMG's or others aftermarket and have a professional put them on for you. Don't count on Guitar Center though. I actually put mine on my Gibson Les Paul by myself, it wasn't too difficult.
+Ola Englund Is that why there is no where to find your guitar in stock since Washburn is gonna install your signature pick ups on all of your solar guitars?
No evertune? Haha. Jk. Still trying to get a 16DLXc from Sweetwater. Out of stock for a couple months. V's are for shredders. I'm no shredder. Gorgeous guitar tho.
Finally a good V without a floyd rose
preach it!
Looks sick man! Congrats ;-)
Damn it Rob, I have bills to pay this month, you pointed this out to me and I'll probably get one now. D:
It's so sick I actually bought a 7 String version as the Ghost Fret isn't available in 7 string.
am i the only one who watches the demos mostly just to hear ola play? the guitars are really great but the playing is amazing!
DUDE... reminds me of the old HM series V that I owned years ago with the carbon fretboard. Love it.
I was introduced to Washburn guitars when I purchased a 2002 CS-780 and I've been blown away because it plays so well. I'm really interested in Washburn guitars now and I definitely have the V 160 on my radar as my next guitar. Great demo!
ola got a hit on his hands. this thing looks insane. might just get it
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for in my next guitar. Extreme shape, comfortable to play, hardtail bridge, dynamic and clear pickups and a reverse headstock. For £650 too! Thank you Ola and Washburn.
Fucking badaas!
Is there will be a 7 string version?
YES PLEASE! Moar 7 string V-shaped guitars, My ESP v-307 feels so lonely.
+ToxicTV yes there will be a 7 string!
Very awesome Ola! when you started playing on the clean channel I was super impressed ,a very dynamic V indeed.
Sounds and looks amazing, also huge step up in production well done mate
Sickest V's to come out in a while!
Just found my new V guitar, thanks Ola
Ola I'm sold, gonna get this bad boy V in the coming months.
I just bough your guitar and am excited to receive it in the post.
What you put into this ticks all the boxes for me.
Floyd rose all the way.
Can't wait to get some in the shop!!
Congrats on all your success
I built a neck through rhoads out of wenge with huge top bevels like that. Definitely more comfortable. I'd like to see a different bridge, but other than that... Looks great.
+Ryan Kearney I'm sure it's a quality TOM, not the cheap crap youll find on epiphones and entry level gibsons
Oh, I'm not doubting the quality of it. You just can't dive bomb on a TOM.
+Ryan Kearney Not with that attitude you can't.
+Anung Un Rama Band Dost thou have the proper attitude? If your claim is truthful, I would request that thee teach me and I shall call thee master.
+Anung Un Rama Band hahaha spot on
Dat Clean tone... much appreciated
Beautiful guitar. Can't imagine that push-pull getting much use though :)
Leonardo Alejandro Reyna Yeah, I understand. I just meant in Ola's case specifically. He seems like more of a chuggy rhythm guy. I might be mistaken though.
the best guitar in white i've seen
Ordered mine this morning, cant wait! Itll be my first decent quality guitar in 11 years of playing. Rock the fuck on man.
I must not buy.... My money can't handle it... But I want it so hard... Damn Ola, you got me again !
Holy shit... I need one of these in my life.
A pretty perfect specs (for a type of a guitar), well done Ola!
Washburn better make this comeback good
I didn't think Ola was a V kind of person. In any case, this guitar looks and sounds awesome!
Sweet V Ola! Sounds and looks great. Hope they come in 7s/8s version in the future.
Cheers from Malaysia! 👍
Nice, the solo sounded almost periphery-esque to my ears
I hope I can find one in Finland or I'll drive to Sweden and buy one straight from you Ola, this guitar is a must have!!!
Respect!! Nice guitar... Greetings from Brazil \m/
I would to buy soon this guitar but I want to know more info about this Duncan Solar pick up. Are this Duncan Designed made in Corea and which magnet and resistence have it?
Sounds great, looks fucking incredible
Love the guitar :) I have wanted a Washburn V for years but never liked the Dimebag sigs. I will look at prices now and get one ASAP
Nice guitar for sure and those pickups sound awesome. I would be afraid I would gig my dog with those pointed tips the guitar has, LOL. I will be looking for this bad boy to hit the stores!!
Ohhh this makes me happy lol. I must have one.
Will there be a 7 string version?
I can't seem to find this guitar from any online dealers. I live in the U.S., more specifically Arizona. What's going on with this model I cannot find it and I can't think of any other guitar I'd want than this! So frustrating..
Same, can't find one anywhere. I am confused. This video is a year old, where the hell are the fiddles at man??
A cold Ola!

Looks & sounds incredible,...!! So I just had to get me one, so I special ordered the solar V carbon black through Sweetwater.com...Great demo & thanks...!!
beautiful!!!!!
I'll take one of each colour!
So sick!
Thanks brother!
+Ola Englund would you ever play one of the old blackout vs my dream guitar also but can't get one
I want to get this guitar as it seems like the most comfortable V you could get, it has great specs, but... I'm not sure about the Buzz Feiten system. I read it requires a specific tuning method, and that the saddles at the bridge are set at the factory according to some special offset, for the specific string gauge. So what happens if I want to switch tunings and string gauges often? Can I intonate and tune the guitar normally or do I need to replace the nut first?
Pawlik23 it's just a compensated nut. there shouldn't be much (or any) difference
Do I get a matching color chair if I buy this guitar like the one shown in the video?
How would you compare this to the new solar16 matte blue? In terms of tone?
Finally...!!
hey....just wanted to know if the V is heavier than the solar 160, cause i tried the solar 160 and it was light....
Vart kan jag köpa en!? kan inte hitta den på någon av dom länkade sidorna som finns på washburns hemsida :( Sjuk gitarr! måste ha! :D
I always loved flying Vs! In a couple of weeks I'm getting this one :) I hope that Ola sign it when he comes to Chile... Ola let's trade Beer for autograph :)!
bueeena te iba a preguntar algo en ingles y cache que eras de chile jsjajsjs es comoda al tocar en los trastes de abajo? no se si elegir la V o la 160c
Love it!
so price wise, will it be the same as the regular 160 washburns?
Georgous guitar!!!!!
I hope these will be out in the UK before Christmas
+WeepingRed November in UK!
+Ola Englund aww yeah!
+Ola Englund Well I know what I'm treating myself to for Christmas. Any idea on prices? Is it going to be in the same price range as your other guitars (approx £600)?
+chibbychinchinchaa About the same price yes!
+Ola Englund Awesome! Cant wait to get my hands on one!
Fuck Yeah! that is awesome. I had no idea you liked Vs Ola. hey bytheway, I noticed you used to play baritone 7 string guitars at 25.5 inch scale i think, and now your washburn seven string signatures are 25.5 inch scale, why the change?
+Benjamin Sherman Sorry i meant 27.5 inch scale baritones, my bad, wrong number.
Where can I buy this guitar? I checked in the washburn site where it says find a dealer with amazon and guitar center and all that but they say they dont have it :/ I live in Colombia by the way, maybe it is because of that.... Help?
You should contact the Colombian distributor!
Thank you Ola :)
Man I love how his bass tone sounds like a fucking bulldozer's coming at you
Washburn V 170 in the works???
I love me some V!
Just got the 7 string version!
asombroso (amazing) !!!!
Nice man, reminds me of the discontinued Ibanez Vs! Btw, anyone know if this is Stainless Steel frets?
1.I NEED TO KNOW THE PRICE I WANT ONE2. will there be a 7 string version
plans for a 7-string version?
you should bring out a beer or something called satan ;) Bro you are so fucking amazing :O:O:O:O:):):)
When will these guitars be available to purchase in the uk and what stores will sell them?
Cant even get them in the USA man dont feel bad.
Where can you find info on Duncan solar pickups?
Nice!
Fuck yeah Ola Englund \m/
Whats the european price on this one.Looks badass best V out there imo.
very nice.
Where is it available in Europe ?
I can't find it anywhere
Are the Duncan Solar pickups U.S. Made?
ThatMetalheadGuy Yes, they are.
Hi Ola, is there any left handed versions on solar -series?
Holy shit. Yessssssss
grandiosolo max simo llegaa a chile y sieran una gira con los gitarristas mas secos como o bagistas como tom de eslayer de w.a.s.p un senfin de los maestros de la gitarra o bagistas
are these extra jumbo frets like 6100 or just regular jumbo?
That riff at 2:10 !!!!!! fucking slays!
First!
I want all of your signature stuff Ola :'(
if i could find the damn thing i would buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they seriously need to make a 7 string version of this, im torn between this and the vmnt
I want to this guitar !!
There wouldn't by chance be a version with normal headstock not reverse? This is a cool looking guitar my brain just doesn't except reverse headstocks
What about neck profile and thickness?
how is the neck on those? or any of the paralaxe series? anyone?
I want this guitar but I would like it with active pickups, is available?
Not with active pickups, no. But you can always buy EMG's or others aftermarket and have a professional put them on for you. Don't count on Guitar Center though. I actually put mine on my Gibson Les Paul by myself, it wasn't too difficult.
What are Duncan solar pickups?
When available on the us?
Damn it, i wish there were more inlays on the fretboard. Oh well, CHALLENGE IT IS!
What string gauge do these ship with pls?
Sweet! =)
Come on Ola release the solar pickups already... please :D
+Solid|Ranger they are not going to be sold separately. They're exclusive with the guitars.
+Ola Englund Is that why there is no where to find your guitar in stock since Washburn is gonna install your signature pick ups on all of your solar guitars?
wil there be one with a floyd
When can I buy one in the US?
No evertune? Haha. Jk.
Still trying to get a 16DLXc from Sweetwater. Out of stock for a couple months.
V's are for shredders. I'm no shredder. Gorgeous guitar tho.
+Kick2TheJunk I have Indonesian 16DLXC for sale, interested?
+Danu Wisnuwardhana aren't they all made in indo? Price and location?
give me your e-mail, i'll sent the details over there
I want one soooo bad! :(
any post production? sounds very very sexy, definitely your better sig imo
Obviously a bit of Eq and compression to make it sound a bit better, but not that much.
I wish I could buy this
Were can i get this when i live in sweden?
Much prefer the black hardware on white than the silver
