Solar GC1.6NC Electric Guitar – Flame Tobacco Burst Gloss: A Buyer's Guide By Melodica Music Store

18 Aug 2025 0 Comments

If there is one thing that would explain the Solar GC1.6NC Electric Guitar – Flame Tobacco Burst Gloss, it’s that it has vintage visual appeal with modern, metal performance engineering. This amazing guitar is now available at Melodica Music Store, and the Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone) signature model is not just an artist collaboration, but a piece of professional-grade craftsmanship. Today, we will let you know in detail why this is not just another guitar and why a signature model for serious guitarists who never compromise on tone and build quality.

A Signature Built for Sonic Darkness

When Nocturno Culto of Darkthrone put their name on a guitar, you instantly know that it is one built for power, control, and speed. The Solar GC1.6NC is the single-cut design of the classic shapes, a part of Solar’s Type G series, but with refined ergonomics and the latest components. Its Flame Tobacco Burst Gloss finish alone is a masterstroke of aesthetic artistry. Its flame maple veneer layered on a solid mahogany body gives this guitar depth for both tone and visuals.

Core Construction: Mahogany and Flame Maple Power Duo

At the heart of this instrument is its mahogany body that features a flame-maple veneer top, a style that has been revered for decades. Mahogany offers the tonal backbone for the rich mids, strong sustain, and a full, warm resonance. The flame-maple top is thin, but it allows the guitar to have brightness and articulation that helps a guitarist during the solos and upper register notes. The result of all this is a tone that is both beefy and articulate, something that is ideal for the aggressive, textured distortion for which Darkthrone is known. The body’s thickness is 50 mm, which adds to its sustain and tonal balance.

Set-Thru Neck: Sustain and Accessibility

The set-thru neck construction of the Solar GC1.6NC Electric guitar is one of its manufacturing highlights. It’s not like the bolt-on designs that interrupt the resonance or like the full-neck construction that are expensive. The neck is glued deep into the guitar’s body cavity to increase its sustain and structural integrity. It offers the fret access all the way up to the 24th fret, a must-have for modern guitarists who use the full range of the fingerboard. Such a neck construction of a guitar is perfect for professional guitarists.

Ebony Fingerboard and 24 Stainless Steel Frets

The ebony fingerboard on the Solar is another professional-grade feature of it. Ebony has a tight grain, fast response, and a slick feel, a suitable choice for precision players. When this fingerboard is combined with the 24 Super-jumbo stainless steel frets, you get exceptional durability that resists wear longer compared to nickel-silver. Then there is the precision intonation with a leveled fret job to keep the tuning accurate across the fingerboard. The R350 mm radius offers a flatter profile, which lets you have faster runs, heavy riffing, and low action.

Seymour Duncan SH6 Distortion Humbuckers – The Heart of the Sound

Tone is where this guitar shows its authority, featuring the Seymour Duncan SH6 Distortion humbuckers in its neck and bridge positions. You get high-output ceramic magnets that drive the amp hard to produce saturated distortion with a tight low-end. Articulate mids and defined highs ensure each note cuts through the intense gain. The neck pickup is aggressive but offers a smoother saturation for lead tone without harshness. These SH6 pickups are designed for versatile use. Roll back the volume knob, and you get dynamic crunch tones and clear cleans. The dual push/pull volume controls for this guitar give you tonal flexibility, while the 3-way toggle switch allows easier switching from simple to intuitive.

Hardware That Means Business

Solar didn’t cut corners when it comes to the hardware. TonePros locking TOM bridge with stop tailpiece ensures you get maximum tuning stability and resonance transfer. Its locking design halts movements during string changes or aggressive playing. The Solar 18:1 locking tuners have a high gear precision, which allows for easy micro-adjustments. PPS nut is of high-quality and self-lubricating material that lowers friction to improve tuning consistency during tremolo and bend use.

Playability and Feel

From the very time you pick up the Solar GC1.6NC Electric Guitar, the playability feels responsive. The combination of the set-thru neck with stainless frets and ebony board gives the neck an ultra-smooth feel for speed and control. The balance of its body ensures there is no neck dive, even with the solid mahogany weight. As for the ergonomic cutaway, it allows for full fretboard access.

The Sound in Context

Through the clean channel, the Solar GC1.6NC offers a warm, balanced response that is lightly dark but still beautifully rounded. Kick in the distortion, and the SH6 pickup allows the guitar to have a true potential. You get the tight low-end punch for metal rhythms, cutting mids to let solos stand out, and controlled highs to have enough brightness for clarity without the shrill.
