Description
Designed specifically to meet the rigorous standards of the contemporary metal guitarist, the Solar Type A2.6C is an affordable, high-quality instrument that balances sophisticated aesthetics with exceptional performance. This six-string guitar is characterized by its stealthy carbon black matte finish, a unique cutaway scoop, and a robust feature set that ensures professional precision whether you are performing on stage or recording in the studio. The body is crafted from mahogany and utilizes a set-thru neck joint to grant the player full access to the fretboard. The 25.5-inch scale instrument features a fast, thin, and comfortable maple neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard holding 24 super-jumbo frets. To ensure reliable intonation and stability, the guitar is equipped with a string-through-body hardtail bridge, a PPS nut, and Solar 18:1 tuners, all accented by black matte hardware. Sonically, it is driven by a pair of Duncan Solar pickups that deliver a complete tonal range—spanning from organic cleans to intense, overdriven saturation—while maintaining fluid sustain and maximum clarity. You can easily navigate these sounds using the five-way blade pickup switch, making the Type A2.6C a versatile and reliable choice for any serious musician.
