Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
Both feature identical Fishman Fluence Modern dual pickups with push-pull voice selection. The Solo-II is described as having warm neck voicing and articulate lead clarity; the V-1 emphasizes punchy modern attack with tight low end. The difference is more body resonance and aesthetic positioning than pickup hardware.
Are the necks and fretboards identical?
Yes. Both have 24.75" scale, thin C-profile necks (20mm at 1st fret, 22mm at 12th), 3-piece maple with carbon fiber reinforcement, ebony fretboards with 12"-16" compound radius, and 22 X-jumbo stainless steel frets. The V-1 adds decorative fret markers (lines at 11th/13th, chains at 12th).
Which is better for djent and modern metal?
The V-1 is explicitly designed for djent with its modern punchy voicing and V-body shape. The Solo-II, while capable of metal, is more versatile across hard rock and progressive styles and better suited to players who need flexibility beyond extreme metal subgenres.
Does the V-1's Graph Tech nut make a meaningful difference?
The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut on the V-1 supports full frequency response and reliable string retention—a modern hardware refinement. The Solo-II uses standard hardware; the nut difference is a quality-of-life upgrade rather than a fundamental tonal game-changer, especially with these high-output pickups.
