Solar Guitars VAR2.6CLN Canibalismo review

The Solar Guitars VAR2.6CLN Canibalismo is a V-style electric guitar listed at $990. Its specifications point to a conventional fixed-bridge setup, a pair of passive humbuckers, and a 25.5-inch scale. It has been available since April 2026 and includes a case. This assessment is based only on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews or independent playing impressions are available, so sound, comfort, tuning stability, and build quality cannot be confirmed here.

Body, finish, and construction

The body is alder, with no separate top. Its listed color is Lemon Neon Canibalismo, described in the general specification as green. That gives a basic indication of the finish, but the supplied information does not establish how the color appears in person or whether the pattern varies between instruments.

The guitar uses a set maple neck rather than a bolt-on neck. The neck has a C profile, measuring 20 mm thick at the first fret and 22 mm at the 12th. Those measurements offer a more useful description than the profile label alone, although they cannot determine whether it will feel comfortable to a particular player. The rosewood fingerboard has a 350 mm radius, equivalent to 13.78 inches, and carries 24 stainless steel frets. A Solar logo inlay sits at the 12th fret.

The scale length is 648 mm, or 25.5 inches, and the nut measures 43 mm wide. The nut material is PPS. The combination of a full-length scale and 24 frets provides the basic layout for players who want access to the upper register, though the V-shaped body may affect how the instrument sits when seated. The listed specifications do not give body dimensions or weight, so those practical details remain unknown.

Pickups and controls

Two Duncan Solar humbuckers are fitted in the neck and bridge positions. The pickups are passive, with no active electronics specified. Controls are limited to one volume knob and a three-way toggle switch. This is a straightforward control layout, with the switch selecting between the two pickups or their combined position. The supplied data does not identify pickup output, magnet type, coil-splitting options, or a tone control, so those should not be assumed.

Players considering this model for a particular amplifier or musical style should treat the pickup names as identification, not as evidence of a specific tone. No measured output, frequency response, or listening test is provided. The humbucker format is clear, but the exact character of the guitar will depend on the pickups, setup, strings, amplifier, and playing technique.

Bridge, tuning, and hardware

The VAR2.6CLN uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge with strings passing through the body. There is no tremolo system. This fixed arrangement avoids the additional moving hardware of a vibrato bridge and offers conventional string-through-body construction, but the specifications alone do not establish tuning stability or sustain. Solar locking machine heads are included, along with black hardware.

The factory string gauge is.009 to.046. That is the supplied setup, not a required gauge. Changing string gauge can affect feel and may call for a setup adjustment, particularly at the nut and bridge. No details are provided about the factory action, intonation, or setup tolerances.

What the specifications establish

The listed package includes a case, but not a gig bag. That is a useful point to check when comparing prices, since the case is part of the stated package. The item number is 620812, and the sales unit is one piece.

At $990, the model's documented appeal centers on its distinctive V-style shape, set maple neck, 24 stainless steel frets, paired Duncan Solar humbuckers, and included case. The specifications are detailed enough to describe its core layout, but they do not answer questions about weight, fretwork, finish quality, factory setup, or real-world sound. Buyers should confirm those details with a retailer before purchasing, especially if they need a particular seated playing position or want to assess the finish in person.

On paper, this is a fixed-bridge, passive-humbucker guitar with a familiar 25.5-inch scale and a clearly stated neck profile. Whether those choices suit an individual player requires an in-person trial. This review makes no claim about customer satisfaction or hands-on performance.
