Just got this guitar a few days ago. Shipped fast and in good condition.
Box was not damaged.
I have bought parts from Solo in the past and have had good experiences all around.
This being my first Strat style guitar, although i have played them in the past…..keep this in mind for this review.
Although i did not own a Strat stye guitar before this purchase…I do have an appreciation for quality and a good set up.
That being said….this particular guitar is very good for the price point.
Neck is comfortable to play and smooth. I am partial to Tusq nuts so this was a welcome upgrade.
Selector switch is solid, tone and volume are gradual and smooth.
The set up was good right out of the box. Once i put tension on the strings and did the usual stretching and whammy bombs….the intonation stands up.
tuning is stable …
Fret ends are smooth…..
The sound of the Pick ups are what I would expect from a Strat…although I think they seem a little hotter the other strats I have tried. Due to Ceramic ???
Over all the fit and finish is very impressive at this price point…
I have the Sunburst. It is sparkly but not too in your face..I really like the roasted maple neck and rosewood finger board with the finish.
I will likely black out the pick up covers and knobs for a less stark contrast of the white.
So…it has only been a few days but so far so good..
I would recommend any of the Pro offerings from Solo…if they are as good as this one …you have won.
will keep you posted..

Let me just say Customer service was great! Guitar came and first impressions was astonishing! Fret work great, neck smooth, set up was perfect! Simply beautiful guitar! Can’t believe the price point! And it comes with a nice gigg bag! If I would change anything it would be gold hardware to give it more pop! Thanks Solo for a great guitar!!!!!

I don’t normally review purchases, but couldn’t pass this.
I found out about this guitar thru the Solo monthly newsletter blog, and for less than $400 I decided to try one.
All my Solo purchases have been quick & professional if any issues arise.
When the guitar arrived, the box was not in the best of shape, but the guitar was so well packed that it arrived in perfect shape.
I have many other guitars (some very expensive) and this guitar immediately impressed me.
The playability/action near perfect, a pleasure to play. Before it arrived, I was planning to swap out the pickups (I normally do on cheaper guitars), but after playing it for awhile, I don’t think I will, they sound that good.
The only perhaps negative, is, for my taste, the metal fleck in the sunburst, a little too much.
Would I buy this guitar again? Certainly
Well done Solo !

Although I may prefer Tele’s, this is a fine Strat style guitar. The component quality is good. The craftmanship is superb. This is my 2nd Solo guitar. The first was a TCK-150, which I built from kit, and continue to enjoy playing.

This guitar out of the box is comparable to a Fender player ii strat and a PRS silver sky se… for the fraction of the price. Fret edges are rolled, smooth frets and rosewood fretboard when bending strings, holds tuning pretty well. I also really like the sparkle sunburst finish. My next guitar from solo will be the blue t style guitar!

I don’t know where to begin I am SO PLEASED with this guitar 🎸👍🏻!!! It is so much more than I expected it to be 😲, even though I really liked it after it was set up before I bought it 👍🏻! The feel of the guitar body & neck in my hands is very comfortable 👍🏻, the rosewood fretboard plays as smooth as butter 👍🏻, the pickups are very powerful 👍🏻, every note played is crisp & clear 👍🏻! No muddiness or weakness from any notes anywhere on the fretboard 👍🏻! The only upgrades I plan on making soon are 1 more spring on the tremolo and Locking Tuners so that I can use the tremolo 👍🏻!
Luthier Steve did an outstanding job on the set up 👍🏻! Thank you very much Steve 👍🏻!
This guitar 🎸 is an excellent professional quality instrument and I will most definitely buy another 1 sometime down the road 👍🏻!
I highly recommend this guitar 🎸, or any other Solo made guitar 🎸 👍🏻!!!
