Had this guitar since december 2019 and i'm still in love with it, this guitar sounds so good that i've decided to not get anymore guitars, i'm actually in the process of getting rid of all my other guitars and just keep this one for life. But if i ever want to go 8 string it'll totally be a solar guitar with evertune, the feeling of never having to tune your guitar anymore is so good and having perfect intonation with the feature of choosing string tension yourself by using the tuners on the headstock is fantastic, evertune for life, evertune is king. Solar pickups are good, very seymour duncan sounding so upgrading is not needed, neck feels great, no cracked fretboard as ppl say, poplar burl top looks sick, after all this time it still makes me attracted to it, its my baby, 5 way switch is nice if u want to do some crispy single coil djent, humbucker sounds metal as a devil, and i also remember that it came in tune and set up perfectly when i first got it, so it was good out of the box. so i recommend anyone to go for solar if u want good stuff. 10/10
