Due to traveling and moving office, we still haven't been able to make a Metal Morning, so here's another VLOG for you. Hope you guys have a good Sunday!
Happy birthday, Ola! The guitar you played should be worth extra now! They need some comfy seats for them to sit on at their stations. A happy worker is a good worker :)
Your the man right now. That warehouse is so sick! Got two questions for ya. Will you ever release a Solar acoustic guitar? And will you be designing a line up your own pickups?
Hey Ola, congratulations for the new warehouse. One could think being CEO of a company like that would be a fulltime job but in addition to that you manage to create like 100+ hours of youtube content every week, socialize with your members, creating and selling merge, putting out single after single, playing in bands and having a family with two kids. Mega respect for what you do! It would be very interesting to hear your strategies, how you get your work done, how you choose your employees and business partners and so on...
It is amazing to see how he started as a tester in his room, just taking gear and trying it out, to becoming in 2 bands and owning his own brand of guitars. Truly an inspiration to everyone
I guess he said his dad worked for EMI or something and in the Nordic countries you get government money to do stuff, I am sure he has family/friends invested in it, there are always the little details that are never explained. Congrats to him anyway. Shame for the mask.
As a Solar guitar owner, this gives me so much confidence about the care that goes into these beasts of an instrument. Congrats on the new warehouse, it looks fantastic and I can't wait to order my next Solar. Hopefully the X-shaped Solar next year! 🔥
Just purchased my first Solar guitar earlier this year - and not only is it one of the greatest guitars I've ever played, but the entire customer experience was OUTSTANDING. I had to pre-order the model I wanted, which was a matter of just a few weeks, the guitar arrived AHEAD of the promise date and was in perfect condition and played like a DREAM right out of the box. I got ALL of the features I wanted in one instrument and have never been so inspired to play as I have been with this guitar. So cool to see the "behind-the-scenes". Thank you, Solar Guitars!
I am Italian and the Fiat Panda was my first car as soon as I got my driving license. The name "Panda" was not chosen thinking of the animal, but of the Roman goddess who protected the roads and travelers, keeping the passages free (from the Latin "pandere" = to open).
Isn't fiat panda actually a little beast (1.9L engine inside a 900-1000 kg car). Once I saw a video on youtube shot by a bmw driver who was following panda at 200kmh and had a hard time catching up.
@@drazenstan That must me a modern one, but not the original one from the '80s 😜That one basically was a metal box with wheels. Back then Seat licensed all Fiat models, so the Seat Panda was also manufactured in Spain. «Panda» is related to «pandilla», which means bunch. It typically was the first car of youngsters, if you had more money you'd buy a Renault 5. Later on when Seat stopped licensing from Fiat the model received a facelift and and was sold as the Marbella model. I didn't know about the actual source of the Panda name, thank you very much @Alessio Antenozio !
every year I went to Girona land beaches from Barcelona after the last exams of school, highschool and college... clouds, clear sky, green fields... last days of spring there are an absolute joy in terms can not be explained
Hey man, the last time I was this vicariously happy and excited for someone, my Goddaughter was launching her first small business and embarking on her future. This vlog reminds me so vividly of why I gravitated to you and Solar originally when you started. As a loyal and completely satisfied customer, since my first batch A1.6, I've always really felt like part of your Solar journey, and I'm totally happy and proud for you; (and for me and all of my Solar guitars too!) If I had a son, I'd hope that he was just as industrious, energetic and excellent as you; with his fantastic family and business flourishing. I can't wait to see what's next - and I'll totally be here for it! Best wishes for continued success forever. SM
Wow! So astonishing to see all the work you put in Solar the last few years and so great that it all works out for you and your family! Keep it up! Thank you so much for all your work on SOlar and YT.
I’ll be honest, when you said I’m starting a guitar company, I thought it would be this one-off small builder and maybe not really expand. When Solar launched, I was immediately a fan. Now I’m really happy to see all the success of this company and hope to own one soon! It takes a lot of work to have a youtube channel and Ola managed to create a guitar company on top of that. Mighty impressive.
Its so inspiring and we're SO proud of all that you and your team have built together. It's even cooler that you've brought us all along with you for the journey. It makes me feel like, with the right amount of work, passion, dedication and a love of what you do... it can be done.
You should had sign some of this boxes on the shelfs without even tell the model of the guitar/bass ... so it will be like a lottery to the people buying a new Solar and MAYBE receive a sign box. LOL. That´s a good idea ... you should do this everytime when you come to warehouse. sign just 3 or 5 boxes.
Nah. He should open them up and sign the tags or something. I don't want an empty cardboard box sitting around just because it was signed by someone. Were do you display a whole guitar box? The tags that usually hang on the guitar in a store would be perfect. You could put them in a case with the guitar, or hang it from a stand with the guitar. So much easier.
do we get to hear the story of being almost mugged "a couple years back"? 2:15-20 also, very impressive. i've been a member for a while now, you've done very well for yourself Ola. The world is a better place with you and Solar guitars, in it.
I can only imagine the feeling of surreality as you walk around your warehouse with your staff and think 'holy &$^#& this is all my stuff with this awesome team of people making dreams happen". good to see the closeness at the end with the little birthday celebration too
You've come such a long way, Ola... been watching you for 4-5 years now and am so proud of you and your achievements, to your offices, Solar Guitars and everything in between your videos have helped me through truly difficult times in my life, I appreciate your work and musical talent
Ola's Vlog: Road Rage Edition™. 🤣 Seriously, though, awesome trip. Looks like you had a great time, especially with the "proud papa" moment when you got to check out your new warehouse.
That's awesome, im genuinely pleased for you. Reminds me of the last seen in Raiders of the lost ark. Raider of the lost Arch...top. Sorry...i'll get my coat.
Hey Ola! Really nice vlog. The new warehouse looks amazing! Fast in Spanish --> Rápido (for you to use in your next visit to Spain. You can say at the rental car something like: " Necesito un coche rápido" so You don't get a Fiat Panda 😝😝
The prideful look is priceless. Congratulations on all that amazing job. I don't know how to play a guitar but i think all the guys that know, can for sure, be really happy !
Congrats Ola! so happy for you n your team at Solar Guitars on your new & own huge warehouse ... i'm happy that i'm not just your RU-vid & FB fan & friend from your early years sharing amp, guitar n gear vids but i finally am a Solar AB1.7C owner too, i got one finally this July for my birthday, glad to see your team celebrating your birthday too ... Warm Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Wishing you n the Solar team a Bigger n Brighter Future! Chug Long n Prosper 🖖🏼🎶☀️🎸⚡🎶🤘🏼
Inspiring. I happened to watch the videos of Ola going to Indonesia and doing QC of each guitar from a couple of years ago, like the day before this video came out. Respect for having a vision, going through with it and working your ass off for it. The results are showing. Hope Solar can grow much bigger one day and we can look back at these videos and realize we're watching a legend being built and was there at the beginning.
🧔 congratulations on the new warehouse ola. You truly are a inspiration. From your RU-vid channel to your solar guitar company. Happy 40th birthday! I hope you get everything you desire now and in the future to come . Stay safe. 🌻
very cool new warehouse Ola things for you and solar guitars are really looking great and on the upside I might want to buy a solar guitar one of these days
