My son was bogging me to get this for him after meeting Ola during the "escape the Internet" tour and I obliged him. For the money you really can't beat this guitar, and it's comparable to my USA Jackson SL2MG in that it feels very study and secure. Really nice sound, FR1000, and came out of the box ready to play with minimal adjustment/tuning. the horn is longer than it looks in pictures, and the profile is also lower than a strat so if you lean on your guitar while sitting, don't plan on it with this one. It is cut away much deeper than an strat. Nice matte finish, and I will be buying another Solar in the future. The price point is really great for what you get.
