Description

Edit description

The Solar V1.6FRC Guitar is a thoroughbred rock machine crafted for those who demand both versatility and power in their sound. Crafted from alder, this solid-body electric guitar delivers a resonant tone with excellent sustain, making it a standout choice for live performances and studio recordings alike. Its set-in maple neck ensures a stable and comfortable grip, while the rosewood fingerboard is not only smooth under your fingers but also features a striking Solar logo inlay at the 12th fret, adding a touch of character to its sleek design.

Designed with the modern musician in mind, the Solar V1.6FRC is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 Tremolo, allowing for expressive pitch bends and dive-bombs without the worry of detuning. The dual Duncan Solar+ Humbuckers provide a fierce and dynamic sound, capable of cutting through any mix with clarity and precision. The 24 Super Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 25.5" scale length offer seamless playability for intricate solos or powerful riffs.

For further versatility, the tone control's push/pull function enables coil splitting, unlocking a range of sounds from classic humbucker warmth to single-coil brightness. The Solar 18:1 locking machine heads ensure your tuning remains rock solid, even during the most energetic performances. Whether you're diving into heavy metal or exploring new sonic territories, the Solar V1.6FRC is your trusty companion on the musical journey.
