Description
If you are a guitarist dedicated to rock or metal and demand uncompromising precision and high-level performance, the Solar Type SBR1.6VC+ is the premier instrument designed for you. As part of our top-tier SBR1 range, this guitar radiates elegance while offering exceptional playability, blending our specialized craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail into a professional tool that excels whether you are performing on stage or tracking in the studio. To ensure you stay in tune regardless of the circumstances, we have equipped this model with the Evertune constant-tension bridge, a fully mechanical system known for its total reliability. Your sound is driven by our newly designed Duncan Solar+ high gain pickups, which utilize Alnico VIII magnets to deliver maximum aggression, grind, and impact.
Constructed with a 25.5” scale length and a bolt-on neck design, this guitar features a resonant alder body paired with a fast, C-shaped thin roasted 3-piece maple neck. The ebony fingerboard is fitted with 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets and includes Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots to ensure effortless navigation during live performances. Every component is selected for quality, including Solar 18:1 locking tuners, a PPS nut, and a versatile 5-way blade switch accompanied by a single volume and single tone control. This instrument is finished in a striking vacillator color-shifting metallic gloss and is distinguished by its unique reverse-reverse headstock.
