The Ultimate Weapon for Modern Guitarists: A Deep Dive into the AC1.6FRFBB
Solar Guitars has carved out a reputation for building precision instruments that meet the brutal demands of today's metal and progressive guitarists. The Solar AC1.6FRFBB Sustainiac+ stands as a flagship model in their arsenal, blending breathtaking aesthetics with uncompromising professional features.
If you’re searching for a guitar that offers aggressive tone, peerless stability, and the ability to hold a note forever, your search ends here. This blog post breaks down why the AC1.6FRFBB Sustainiac+ is the definitive choice for serious performers and studio musicians.
1. The Heart of Infinite Sustain: Sustainiac Stealth Pro
The single most defining feature of this model is the revolutionary Sustainiac Stealth Pro system, housed in the neck position.
Unlike a standard neck humbucker, the Sustainiac driver uses electromagnetic feedback to generate endless sustain, harmonic textures, and controlled feedback at any volume level. This opens up entirely new creative possibilities, allowing you to:
- Hold sustained notes indefinitely for emotional leads.
- Generate rich, controlled feedback for atmospheric textures.
- Easily switch between fundamental and harmonic sustain modes for diverse sonic effects.
The AC1.6FRFBB isn't just a guitar; it's a sound-shaping tool that encourages experimentation and sonic exploration, making it a powerful asset in both studio and live environments.
2. Hardware Built for War: Floyd Rose 1000 & Locking Tuners
Extreme playing requires extreme stability. The Solar AC1.6FRFBB Sustainiac+ is equipped with battle-ready hardware to handle the most aggressive techniques without falling out of tune.
Uncompromising Stability: Floyd Rose 1000
At the core of its stability is the legendary Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system. Constructed from hardened steel and featuring an oversized block for enhanced resonance and sustain, this bridge ensures you can dive-bomb and pull-up with confidence. Combined with the locking nut, the tuning integrity is virtually unmatched, even under heavy whammy bar abuse.
Precision Tuning: Solar Locking Tuners
Complementing the Floyd Rose are the reliable Solar Locking Tuners. These machine heads ensure quick, slip-free string changes and further contribute to the overall tuning stability, giving you more time to focus on playing and less time tuning.
3. Playability: Stainless Steel Frets and Ebony Speed
A professional instrument demands a neck built for speed and endurance. The AC1.6FRFBB delivers with top-tier materials and construction details:
The Feel: C-Shape Maple Neck & Ebony Fretboard
The C-shaped, three-piece maple neck offers a thin, comfortable profile perfect for rapid riffing and complex lead work. This is topped with a slick, dark Ebony fretboard boasting a flat R350 radius for effortless bends and low action.
The Durability: 24 Stainless Steel Frets
This model features 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel provides exceptional durability, drastically reducing wear and tear, and creating a buttery-smooth surface that makes fast runs feel effortless.
Stage Ready: Luminlay Side Dots
For dark stage environments, the inclusion of Luminlay 'glow in the dark' side dots ensures you never lose your place on the fretboard, a simple yet critical feature for the performing musician.
4. Tone and Versatility: Duncan Solar+ Bridge Pickup
While the Sustainiac handles the neck duties, the bridge position is loaded with a high-output Duncan Solar+ (Plus) pickup.
Specifically designed for Solar Guitars, this passive humbucker delivers:
- Maximum Clarity: Excellent string separation, even under crushing amounts of gain.
- High Output: Plenty of punch and saturation for modern metal and hard rock.
- Versatility: Capable of producing articulate cleans and singing lead tones by using the convenient Push/Pull Volume pot for coil splitting options.
Clad in a stunning Flame Black Burst Gloss finish, the Solar AC1.6FRFBB Sustainiac+ is more than just a performance machine—it’s a visually striking statement piece.
If you are serious about tone, performance, and features like the Sustainiac Stealth Pro and Floyd Rose 1000, the Solar AC1.6FRFBB should be the next guitar in your collection.
