Thinline body design with extensive custom options

The Transit

The most variable guitar made by Solstice, the Transit model has options that span an array of aesthetics & specs to bring you a uniquely traditional yet modern electric guitar, customized to your preferences.

The neck joint is a precisely aligned machine-bolt system with threaded brass inserts embedded into the neck itself. A modern 2-way adjustable truss rod is reinforced with twin graphite rods. The standard body design is "fully-semi-hollow" giving added resonance and an open voice. Available in four color options, Natural Light (pictured,) Lucent Blue, Lucent Red, and Night Glass black.

Scale Length: 25.25"
Body Wood: Swamp Ash
Body Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer

"The Transit was born from my search for the perfect T-style guitar. I designed it to be highly versatile, and completely variable. We have yet to explore all the available configurations. The options & choices are nearly endless."  -R. Elewaut
