GF17FBB

Sant Gregori, Spain (May 15, 2019) -- Solar Guitars - the brand created by Ola Englund - who’s recognized as a member of notable Swedish metal groups The Haunted and Feared, is very proud to announce the introduction of the new Type G body shape.

The Solar Type G is the new single cutaway shape, and it’s offered in two variations: Type GF (flat top) and Type GC (Carved top).

The new Type G has a 24,75” scale, contoured body with back comfort cuts, set neck with an all access heel, and comparable premium features as the current Solar lineup.

"Our goal was to design a traditional looking single-cut guitar with a real Solar Guitars twist. After endless body and headstock shape designs we were lost. We found the perfect body shape but all the headstock designs just did not look right…we almost gave up…by accident we edited the traditional Solar 6 inline headstock to that body... and BANG…we found our way home. So f€%k tradition, we are Solar Guitars, we do whatever we want….” says Ola Englund.
