Some guitars are made to look good on a wall.
The Solar A1.6FDPB-FF was built to dominate stages, studios, and everything in between.
Finished in a stunning Flame Deep Purple Burst Matte, this six-string multiscale monster combines brutal modern performance with refined craftsmanship, delivering an instrument engineered for players who demand speed, precision, clarity, and absolute control.
From the moment you pick it up, the A1.6FDPB-FF feels unapologetically professional. The sleek Type A body features Solar’s aggressive modern design language with a sharp cutaway scoop that gives unrestricted upper fret access while maintaining a stealthy, commanding aesthetic. But this guitar is far more than just looks.
Engineered for Modern Metal Performance
At the heart of the A1.6FDPB-FF lies a 24.75”–26” multiscale fanned fret system paired with a Hipshot multiscale bridge, delivering exceptional intonation, tighter low-end response, and improved ergonomic comfort across the fretboard.
Whether you’re playing crushing downtuned riffs, technical progressive passages, or atmospheric cleans, the multiscale design keeps every note articulate and balanced.
Factory strung in C# Standard with Blacksmith strings, this guitar is ready for aggressive modern tuning right out of the case.

The three-piece roasted maple neck features Solar’s ultra-comfortable C-shaped profile, designed for effortless movement and maximum stability. Combined with a roasted maple fretboard and 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets, the playing experience feels incredibly fast, smooth, and responsive.
The stainless steel frets offer enhanced durability and a slick feel under the fingers, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots ensure visibility even on the darkest stages.
The set-thru neck construction further enhances sustain and resonance, making every note feel alive and powerful.
