I have a Solar. It came from Thomann and it was absolutely, absolutely immaculate when it arrived 18mths ago. Ive not adjusted/altered anything since it has arrived. Has never been professionally setup and it remains totally perfect. I have played it to death aswell. (Although it has only had home use) I've seen loads of hate regarding their QC on Facebook and the one thing that most of the complaints about the cracked fretboards have in common is that they look....really dry/dirty. Like the people who have had issues seem to not care for the guitar. Now I am not saying that some Solar customers have had issues. What I am saying is that if you look at ANY company long enough you will find users who have had issues. Its just that these people have a forum (facebook groups) to make themselves sound like ALL Solar customers have had issues. (As they are basically screaming into a social media mirror) Solar are a great company and they make great instruments.

Solar did have a long-running issue of buying lower quality cuts of ebony though. The guitars were sitting in warehouses for months, then being shipped to dealers. A lot of their inventory would sit for 5-7 months before getting into a customer’s hands, so a pretty large handful of guitars were arriving to people’s doorsteps dry and dirty. It’s not exclusive to Solar though- I had an Ibanez RG5328 show up from zZounds where the neck was warping, binding was unsanded and the finish started rubbing off within hours of owning. Returned it for a second one that wasn’t much better, except the second one somehow had tarnished stainless steel frets.

@Chop Holtz I assume you have a negative opinion regarding Solar? Where does your bias come from? I mean...this works both ways?

I question the Solar company as a whole, heard if you even mention anything about fretboards or bad QC they’ll ban you from commenting on their instagram page never seen any other guitar company blatantly disallow people from their pages

@@jordansguitarchannel3809 haha and I know it’s true because I think I said something about their “buy 4 get the 5th guitar free” sale that they had awhile back that got super flamed and ever since it’ll say “comments on this post have been limited” basically shadow banned. Cool guitars but if that’s how they’re going to respond I’ll stick with other brands that’ll let you criticize them and take it professionally like LTD and Ibanez and even the Gibson bubble of brands.

Yeah nice grab man. Over the past 6 months I've gotten some absolute steals because people haven't bothered to make the guitars they're selling presentable. I don't know about you but when I'm selling a guitar i make it as appealing as I can?
