Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 4 people wrote reviews 7 people rated this item Lightning Lee from Camden, SC 29020 Overall Ranking: Price: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Excellent Guitar! Quality: With the double locking Floyd Rose, and the neck-thru construction this guitar is sleek looking but built like a tank as well! Pick it up, beat it up, and TRY to knock this thing out of tune, good luck with it! I've used a soloist for over 10 years semi-professionally and have yet to break a string on stage. Can't say that for the other brands I've used over the years. Sound: The tone is bright to smooth and mellow using the 5 way selector and finding that perfect combination of the Seymore Duncan pickups for that moment. You'll also find that this baby has a great sweep of the tone using the tone knob that helps you hone right in on the tone you need for the song. Reliability: I have one of these that's over 10 years old and has seen plenty of action but she still plays just as good as she did the first day I used her. The finish has held up, the frets have held up with very minor wear, the pickups and knobs and switches have held up... like I said this thing's a tank! Overall: This guitar is the one to buy. You can save a few bucks and get something cheaper but you may end up having to tune or replace strings during a set, with this baby you won't. I can keep strings on this thing for months playing every weekend and never have to tune it besides a fine tune here and there... and yes I wear out the Flyd Rose and everything holds EVERY TIME! Playability and Feel: The body has a little weight to it but it's neck-thru construction and solid as a rock so it's going to. The ease of fingering on the fretboard makes this thing super fast and smooth to play, and all the controls are just a finger flip away from your picking position. Tone: These pickups are HOT, great for rock but suitable for other genres as well. Finish: The finish is always quality on a soloist SL1 and will hold up for years with minimal care. Action: For me there's only one word to describe the action on a soloist... PERFECT! It will just about play itself saving you some fatigue on those long gigs. Skill Level: Semi-Pro Do you own this product?: yes Date submitted: 11-07-2011 Mark Oliver from Tempe, AZ United States Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: SL1 in Black Quality: Quality is top-notch. Everything is nice and tight. Bindings are all the same thickness, no dings or flaws (with the exception of the ones I've put in it during playing). Dependability is way up. You can hammer on the Floyd for ages without a worry about breaking a string. Tuning stability is rock solid, with only the occasional fine tune. So long as the strings weren't old and crusty, I wouldn't hesitate to gig without a backup with this guy if I had to. Sound: Sounds pretty nice, no fret buzzes or anything of that sort. Reliability: It's mostly a solid hunk of wood with a few metal parts attached to it. I've previously owned a RR1, bought new around 97 or so, and it held up perfectly. The build quality is the same on this Soloist, so I imagine it'll handle whatever I can throw at it. Do take care to mind the headstock, the pointy bit has a way of banging into just about everything. Overall: Overall, the guitar is fantastic. Everything's put together well, the electronics work well, all the hardware is attached properly. Playability and Feel: Playability is right on, after a quick setup. The neck is super-fast, as you'd expect from a compound radius board. Despite being labeled at marketed at fretboard melting metalheads and the speed demons extraordinaire, it lends itself to fast chord work as well. Bends and slides are super silky, and the thing sustains forever. The only minor downside is the location of the controls, they can get in the way if you don't watch where your hand is. Tone: The bridge pickup is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a model that was made famous during the heyday of the hair band. The bigger surprise is in the versatility offered in the two stacked humbuckers in the neck and middle positions. They offer an amazing variety of tones, from thin and tinny, to thick and meaty. Finish: Why do I keep buying black guitars? I have to remember that when I pick up my next instrument. The finish itself is nice and thick, and beautifully polished. Everything reeks of substance and class. That being said, don't order it in black if you're obsessive about keeping things clean, you'll eventually go insane trying to remove fingerprints and smears. Action: Out of the box, the action was fairly well set, a little high towards the end of the fretboard. I'm more used to a fairly flat action all the way down the neck, so I set it as such. Intonation was dead on for the out of the box action, and only needed minimal adjustment when I lowered it a bit.
