Solar Guitars is the metal-focused brand created by Ola Englund of The Haunted and Feared, and this page brings the whole family together: the core Solar range and its more affordable sister line, S by Solar. Buying a Solar guitar in Australia? Every Solar and S by Solar guitar and bass is set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you, so it plays right the moment it lands.
Solar Guitars
Solar's 1-series models are for players who want every upgrade: stainless steel frets, ebony fingerboards, Solar locking tuners and a choice of Evertune, Floyd Rose 1000 or Hipshot bridges, driven by Duncan Solar or Fishman Fluence Modern pickups. The 2-series shares the same family of designs, with set-thru necks and Duncan Solar pickups on most models. Across both you'll find Type A, E, S, T, V and X guitars, headless Type H models, 7-string, 8-string, baritone and fanned-fret options, and 4- and 5-string basses, many dressed in Solar's Canibalismo splatter, Vinter pearl white and open pore finishes. Solar's signature artists include players from At The Gates, Coroner, Blind Guardian and Crowbar.
S by Solar
S by Solar puts those designs within reach of more players, making it a great first serious metal guitar or a dependable second instrument for rehearsals and gigs. The range pairs bolt-on maple necks with poplar bodies, high-output ceramic humbuckers and black hardware across the AB, EB, SB, TB, VB and XB body styles, with fixed-bridge and Floyd Rose-equipped models, 7-string guitars and 4- and 5-string basses in the mix.
