So, here is for sale:So, here is for sale:Solo II- mid 80\'s soviet electric guitar from Belorussia (exUSSR)One of thecoolestthings about Solo2 was that it hasbuilt-in effects (fuzz and phazer)and all covered with knobs and switches. It almost looks like a keyboard.Body:Unidentified wood, not heavy, all the insides are carved to allow the big metal chassis with pickups and effects to fit in. Black finish looks very nice on this monster. Other finishes included black and more metallic colors.Neck:Very thick, with a very small radius. Wood is also undefined but very heavy. Thick glossy black finish. One of the strange things about the neck is its shape at thefirst frets - it\'s rectangular!It becomes round only somewhere at the 3d fret. I guess this is a part of the guitar\'s concept: it\'s \"solo\", not \" rhythm\", and you\'re not supposed to play chords in first position but you still can. The back of the neck is covered with a very thick layer of black laquer - typical to Soviet guitars.Bridge:two-piece construction, sort of tune-o-matic style. Adjustable string saddles in early Telecaster style and a stop-bar. There\'s also a metal cover for the saddles\' part, so you won\'t get hurt scratching your hands.Pickups:three single-coils, middle pickup is much closer to the bridge than to the neck (why the hell?!). Pickups are screwed to the pickguard so you cannot move them up and down.Controls:This is where it really shines. Effects are powered with one 9-volt battery, and the cavity for the battery is right under the neck joint on the back of the guitar. Each effect has two control knobs and an on/off switch. On the upper part of the body there are twofuzzknobs (gain and volume) and an on/off switch. The lower part carries twophazerknobs with on/off switch and master volume knob plus three on/off rocker switches for each pickup.Effects:The onboard FX\'s includefuzzandphazer. Both FX\'s are IC-based, the phaser utilizes four IC\'s - something like MXR Phase 45 - style. The fuzz boosts the volume and sounds more like a one-transistor EHX LPB-style booster. It also scoops mids and adds just a little bit of bite to the clean sound. I wonder how such a complex scheme produces such a weak change in tone, but I\'m afraid the reason is weak pickups\' output that simply cannot drive the fuzz into distortion. The overall effect of the fuzz is pleasing and I tend to leave it on all the time. The phaser is not that good; it makes no phasing effect at all. The only thing it does is boosting highs (and cutting lows) in a very unnatural way.
