What's up everyone? And welcome to Ola Testing--
The best guitar in the world.
You might have already seen the announcement video.
If you haven't, I recommend you go check it out first before you watch this video.
Because this video is about our first European masterbuilt guitar,
The XF6FRFSB.
And I know that by heart now.
I've said it so many times.
And with this guitar we're also announcing the new type X.
And this is an XF right here in my hands.
The idea with the European masterbuilt series is just to have
is just to have a European masterbuilt series of guitars.
An incredible line of guitars built by Tom Marceau.
We have a mahogany body, mahogany neck.
We have a flamed maple top,
richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets,
we have a Schaller floating bridge,
we have Schaller locking tuners,
Schaller straplocks.
We have our new Solar hand-wired Modern pickups in here.
One volume and one killswitch.
And for the sake of this demo, I'm using the Chug pedal
and that goes into the Seymour Duncan Powerstage into this cabinet.
This is the XF6FRFSB.
Chug.
Something like that.
It's the same settings on the Chug for lead and the rhythm.
I just added some bullshit reverb in Logic, I guess.
Oh shit, I spat on the guitar.
I'm so not used to having a killswitch.
I can finally do some Tom Morello style shit, man.
So that is my short little demo of this new guitar.
And you guys might ask, what happened to the 40-year-old Ola guitar?
It's in the other room, I'm not gonna show it yet
because it's not available yet.
But that guitar will be available at some point.
Just to give you a quick little background,
all of this started when I was
looking to get a little special guitar for myself for my 40th birthday.
And that was about 2 years ago, I contacted Tom
to see if he would be up for making me this guitar.
And in the process, when Tom started to build my guitar,
it hatched the idea to create this European Masterbuilt series.
Because I mean, why not?
It's just to broaden the horizons for Solar Guitars, basically.
And if you'd guess that these would be really inexpensive guitars,
You're wrong.
And obviously this is just the beginning.
We're gonna have so many cool guitars coming.
So stay tuned for that.
Thank you so much for watching this little video.
And I'll see you soon, OK?
