YARHG!
I'm not sure but I think there's a problem with his lamp.
Hello there I'm Ola
and today I'm in Jakarta / Indonesia.
Sorry for picking my nose there...
I just woke up it's 6:30 in the morning.
And the reason why I'm in Jakarta is because I'm visiting the factory that are making my
guitars for the Solar Guitars brand so...
I'm excited, it's my first time in
Indonesia and it's my first time in this factory.
Yeah but right now I'm going to
the pool and see if I can grab a swim or two before breakfast.
*heavy music playing*
*swimming music playing*
F&%€ hell...
I jumped in with my keycard
Ooops...
And my breakfast coupons...
Sh<%&€t, it's all wet.
F€%# idiot!
Okay so here's Olas life hack #1
So it's one piece of hair dryer and one
piece of breakfast ticket.
Then you're good to go...
Yes...
*heavy music while watching Uber driver*
So this is the space where we check each and every one of the guitars.
So here's the station, and yeah...
It's actually...
At this point it is kind of fun!
So a really pleasant surprise with going to the factory,
is just seeing how
how well set up the guitars are from the assembly board.
So each and every one of the guitars that I've played,
None of them have had,
I haven't needed to adjust
the truss rod, no dead notes, nothing like that,
great sustain so I mean,
It's just a very pleasant surprise
So yeah I'm very excited about this!
So now I'm back home and the trip was
absolutely awesome, except that my flight was rescheduled and we had to cancel our
gig with The Haunted in Gothenburg yesterday because of that, but we managed
to move the gig to another day so no worries! Anyway I'm back home I'm
tired as hell from the long trip but I'm also extremely happy I mean this was the
first time I visit this Factory and even if I've been playing their guitars for
the past four years it was really nice to get to see the whole picture of what
goes into building these guitars and it makes me even more confident and more
excited for the future and I wish I had more time to document and talk about the
different elements that go into guitar making when I was there but I had a
tough schedule, I got to quality check 300 guitars and yeah it was a lot of fun
I mean you cannot imagine how proud it makes me feel to hold one of these
guitars and practically all of the guitars that I quality checked when I was
there were just perfectly set up playing-wise which just goes to show that these
guys know what's up and it makes me extremely
excited for the future and now I just cannot wait to get this brand going
after all this time of working.
This has definitely consumed the majority of
my time this year and this video probably won't be available until early
November, that's when I plan to have the launch. And I really hope it's a success
I put so much of myself into this it would probably tear me apart if it went
down the shitter.
I really hope it goes well but now I'm just very very
tired and I'm going to bed.
Thank you so much for watching and I
really hope that you will be as excited about Solar Guitars as I am right now
okay goodnight
