Description
Designed in collaboration with Martin Larsson of the iconic Swedish death metal outfit At The Gates, this high-end, feature-rich guitar stands as a premier model within the Solar Type A1 flagship series, delivering both exceptional performance capabilities and sophisticated aesthetics.
The Type A1.6ATG MkII At The Gates Artist Series guitar serves as the definitive, high-precision professional instrument for Martin Larsson’s demanding studio and live requirements, combining a stealthy appearance with a unique cutaway scoop and an impressive array of specialized features. To ensure consistent tuning in any environment, the instrument is equipped with a dependable, fully-mechanical Evertune constant-tension bridge and utilizes two Fishman Fluence Modern active humbucker pickups to produce a pure, musical, and undistorted sound. The guitar is constructed with a set-thru neck-to-body joint and a 25.5-inch scale length, featuring an alder body paired with a slim, rapid-playing maple neck. Its ebony fingerboard is fitted with 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets and includes Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots to aid visibility on stage. Additional appointments include Solar 18:1 locking tuners, strap lock-style pins, a PPS nut, a three-way blade switch, and a push-pull volume knob that allows for voice selection, all while providing full access to the upper frets. Finished in a carbon black matte, this guitar does not include the required 9V battery.
