After the overwhelming success of the X-Type, the highly focused and motivated Solar Guitar product team decided to use these most aggressive angles of Solar’s designs as inspiration for a new asymmetrical V called the VAR.
Solar Guitars VP and product developer, Joe Delaney states, “Type VAR embodies both the extreme elements of the X Type and also the Reverse-Reverse headstock introduced in 2024. We are ecstatic about the final results, it’s the sickest f**kin V ever!”. The company states that the VAR is a sustained initiative with many more Type VAR models to be introduced in April and ongoing. The first four models are available now in Evertune, Floyd Rose and Tun-o-matic bridge variations. Hardshell case included.
