fines for battery problems are huge....putting the word battery on customs papers can often mean the entire shipment will get held for 2++ weeks depending on the country how deeply stuffed the pickle is up that customs officers butt...glen could go to dollarama and get a battery and save ola some huge fines paperwork red tape and etc...maybe go steal one from a smoke detector for 10 minutes lol adding a battery can put different customs and duties taxes on the whole shipments value... you want a battery so bad youre willing to pay another $50 in taxes just so its in the package? a $2 battery is a ridiculous risk and headache in reality...dont blame ola....blame your government

I have to agree. I was expecting hell knows what to be wrong. The battery is against the law to ship in many countries without an insane amount of paperwork and inspection delays by customs in multiple countries. And a minor issue that can be filed on an upper fret, which is a very common occurrence due to WC and/or a bit of fret sprout - likely the latter with shipping during a very wet season internationally?

Some of the newer ones come with a USB C port so you don't even have to buy the charger. I see one brand from EBL gives a 2-way splitter so you can charge 4 nine-volt. The last lithium battery I bought was a Kentl lithium AA battery that came with its own 4 port charger.

Might, I suggest getting the Grammarly app, I'm in the USA and I don't even get things right all the time lol. Note it does from time to time screw up too, but it will help you figure out English for the most part.

@@SpectreSoundStudios Yes they could. Or maybe add a note on the website that there's no batteries included.

This is one reason why I really don't like active pickups. The maintenance.

@zloboslav_ Год назад

In my country shipping with batteries is not allowed either. But I always have backup batteries stocked in my battery drawer. You should consider having extra backups too. :)

@nickcrane8329 Год назад

You dont have any other guitars in your studio you could've robbed a battery off of? Lol

@grandudetonesnob7107 Год назад

I use N.O.S carbon 9 volt batteries from the 70's for a more "vintage" tone. I think Solar trust their customers intelligence to choose the battery that suits their individual tone preferences.😅

Imagine buying a 1000+usd guitar and dont get a 2dollar battery...

Glenn i love your channel dont blame the guitar blame youself for not having spare 9v batteries thats on you not solar 😂

@niteshades_promise Год назад

dude just grab a 9v from one of your other guitars??? or smoke detectors lol

@raelik777 Год назад

I'm pretty sure the lack of batteries has to do with restrictions on shipping them internationally. There are ways to do it, but they have very specific requirements on packaging and often are VERY limited, for instance being limited to a pair or perhaps 3 AA or AAA batteries, for something like a remote.

@Guitarpch1 Год назад

If you run a studio and you don't have a spare 9 volt, who is in the wrong?

@H_Oscarsson Год назад

I think the no battery thing might be affected by the non flight shipping of lithium batteries. It affects non lithium ones aswell.

@ricardofigueiras6453 Год назад

All this tantrum over a battery! Lack of new ideas...

@judaspriestzou Год назад

A few minutes now. You should have got the 9v right？ Show us how it sounds, now!

@sathorael Год назад

You could have just swapped a 9V out of something else in the studio??

@Kwert Год назад

Yeah, like others have said, shipping things with batteries can be problematic as all batteries are classified as dangerous goods when being shipped by air.

@DerredmaxTRIAX Год назад

There's a 9 volt in your smoke detector, ask me how i know..

@kellecetraro4807 Год назад

Personally: I don't recall a time where batteries were included. I've also never been in a recording studio that didn't have 9 volt batteries hanging around 😯 That being said, I'm sure it's occurred in both situations.

A 13 minute video to complain it didn’t come with a battery.

really makes you appreciate the tonewood on this one

@fullmass 10 месяцев назад

These are some goofy nitpicks and a poor review. I'm on team don't ship me your battery I'll supply my own thanks. Also the fret thing is pretty minor. Where are the important things? Instead of looking at that individual guitar what are the options on the series? Push/pull pots? What pickups? Stainless steel frets? Truss rod? Radius? These are what educate the consumer on the product. I'd be embarrassed to post this phoned in video. Solar is on my very short list guitars, if I didn't know better these minor things might bother me?
