Well Meck, this is a superstrat, of course but you'll notice it has a few extra strings. This Solar guitars A1.8 has 8, yes that's right 8 strings, which i vastly prefer over the standard 6 string relics we've been using for decades. between the huuuge scale length and our favourite, the evertune bridge system, i know my thumping licks are going to be dead on every time.
