That's right, I'm still the CD guy; I actually buy physical references of the music I like.  Warrant's Dog Eat Dog is simply their hardest / heaviest offering. Back in the early '90s, people were too distracted by the grunge movement & such gems were often ignored. I used to own this in a cassette tape format so I'm re-living the moment with the CD version (Japanese pressing). Ola Endlund's second solo release was in the mailbox. I'm a big fan of the man & look forward to all his gear related antics. Signed copy of Starzinger - beyond cool. 😎

Hola!

Look what's in the mail 😀

This is Ola Englund. If you are a gear geek & spend a good time in cyberspace, chances are, you have come across his product appraisals. He is also a member of The Haunted & Feared & was a recent Washburn endorser.

He now has his own line of guitars under the Solar brand name. The objective, according to Ola, is to have a good guitar for playing (home/ tour) & recording. The initial batch of instruments offer limited appeal in aesthetics but focus on playability & tone. Other developments will take place in time to come. A quick overview:

Ola Solar

Shred/ metal stalwart, Ola Englund, has his series of Washburn guitars released recently.

As you can see here, the Solar series of guitars feature Seymour Duncan pickups & a choice of 2 fixed bridges to consider- the Evertune or Hipshot. A 7-string version of each guitar is available. Some of us are not too keen when it comes to that headstock outline but this should not stop us from acknowledging the instruments' goodness after personal evaluations.
