Product Description

Are you after an exquisite, hand-crafted electric guitar with an unmistakably vintage aesthetic that also provides the effortless playability of a more modern instrument? Iconic's Solana VM is just what you need!

Sporting a timeless S-style body shape, the Solana VM comes supercharged with a raft of contemporary features that promise to deliver the ultimate playing and sonic experience. A comfy "C"-shaped Roasted Flamed Maple neck with a compound radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, a highly-versatile HSS pickup configuration, and a super-smooth Gotoh 510 tremolo are just a few of the premium appointments that this player-centric instrument boasts. It's the ultimate Andertons-spec "Super-S" guitar!

Key Features

  • 2-Piece Alder Body — Timeless tonewood choice synonymous with bolt-on electric guitars. Serves as a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
  • Aged Nitrocellulose Finish — Vintage-like lacquer allows the body to breathe for improved resonance. Tastefully aged for a worn, well-played look!
  • 5A Roasted Flamed Maple Neck — Roasting process crystallises resins and removes all of the natural moisture retained by the neck wood; ultimately darkening the material, reducing weight, and increasing stability for rock-solid tuning!
  • Medium "C" Neck Profile — A supportive, addictive shape that lets you play blazing riffs and fluid leads without hindrance.
  • 10"-14” Compound Radius Fingerboard — This ergonomic radius is rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, and flattens out the higher you go so that fast passages feel much easier to play. It also helps to prevent string bends from fretting out!
  • Iconic Revolution Pickups — Vintage character with a more powerful, modern edge! Versatile HSS configuration gives you access to a wide palette of tones, especially with the 5-way selector switch enabling those classic "in-between" sounds.
  • Push/Push Tone Knob — Allows you to coil-split the bridge humbucker and attain a spanky single-coil voice.
  • Gotoh 510 Tremolo — Superbly-machined, 2-point bridge offers a responsive vibrato action and ensures precise return to pitch after heavy use.
  • Graph Tech TUSQ XL Nut — Material is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth! This alleviates the binding grip that the nut has on the strings, to make sure that they glide back into tune.
  • Handcrafted in the USA — Built in California for the most discerning of musicians, promising "unparalleled tone and unsurpassed quality" in the company's own words.

Reviews

"The medium thin C-profile neck fits so comfortably in the hand that travelling up and down the neck is as easy and natural as it gets. The Gotoh tuning machines and bridge bring the premium feel and performance you'd expect at this price point, and the HSS arrangement promises real tonal versatility. Plugging in, we find Iconic's Revolution pickups hot yet smooth. A push/push switch on the tone pot gives you a coil-split option on the nickel-covered bridge 'bucker to further enhance your options too." - Elliot Oakley, Guitar.com
