Solar Guitars S by Solar SB4.6FRFBR FRD review

The Solar Guitars S by Solar SB4.6FRFBR FRD is a red, ST-style electric guitar with a mahogany body, a flame maple top, a bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its listed configuration pairs two high-output ceramic humbuckers with a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo and a locking nut. The supplied price is $357. No customer reviews are available, so this assessment is based strictly on the published specifications, not on playing tests or user reports.

Body, neck, and playing dimensions

The body uses mahogany, while the top is flame maple. These are the listed woods; the specifications do not provide body weight, thickness, finish construction, or details about how the top is joined to the body. The finish color is Flame Red, with black hardware. Those details establish the guitar's appearance, but they do not support conclusions about its weight, balance, or acoustic character.

The maple neck is bolt-on, and its profile is described as a C shape. That label gives a general outline, but the neck's exact depth and width are not stated. The rosewood fingerboard has a listed radius of 356 mm (14 inches), with small dot inlays. Its 24 standard nickel frets and 648 mm (25.5-inch) scale length place it in a familiar full-length guitar format. No fret dimensions or neck measurements are supplied, so players who need those figures should confirm them with the seller.

Pickups and controls

The pickup layout is HH, with one custom high-output ceramic humbucker at the neck and another at the bridge. The controls comprise one volume control, one tone control, and a three-way blade switch. This is a straightforward arrangement that provides a way to select between the neck pickup, bridge pickup, and a combined position. The listing does not specify pickup output measurements, coil-splitting, or other switching options, so those should not be assumed.

The high-output description and ceramic construction identify the pickup type, but they do not establish how the guitar sounds through a particular amplifier or at a particular volume. There are no audio samples or customer impressions in the supplied information. Anyone choosing between this and another guitar should compare actual demos where available, especially if pickup voicing is a deciding factor.

Floyd Rose tremolo and tuning hardware

A licensed Floyd Rose tremolo is paired with a locking nut and sealed machine heads. The locking nut is a notable part of this setup: it clamps the strings at the nut rather than relying on a conventional open nut alone. The tremolo hardware is intended for use with a locking system, although the listing does not give setup instructions, adjustment details, or information about the specific Floyd Rose model.

A floating tremolo can involve more setup than a fixed bridge, particularly when changing string gauges or tuning. The listed strings are.009 to.046. That provides a useful reference for the supplied setup, but the specifications do not confirm the factory tuning or whether the guitar will arrive adjusted to a particular player's preferences. Buyers new to locking tremolo systems may want to account for the additional setup steps when considering ownership.

What the listed package includes

The specifications explicitly say that neither a bag nor a case is included. A suitable protective option would therefore need to be purchased separately if one is required for transport or storage. The sales unit is one piece, and the item number is 654830. No further accessories are listed, so the supplied information does not confirm whether tools or other items come in the package.

Verdict

On paper, the SB4.6FRFBR FRD is a full-scale, 24-fret ST-style guitar with a bolt-on maple neck, two ceramic humbuckers, and a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with a locking nut. Its listed $357 price gives buyers a clear starting point, while the lack of a case or bag is worth including in the overall budget.

The specifications provide a useful overview, but leave several purchase details open, including weight, exact neck dimensions, tremolo model, and pickup measurements. With no customer reviews available, there is no basis here for claims about comfort, tuning performance, build quality, or tone. For a decision based on the published details alone, the defining considerations are the locking tremolo system, the two-humbucker configuration, and the absence of included protection.
