With Fishman and Evertune components.
Swedish based Solar Guitars, ran by Ola Engund, have announced a new signature guitar for Patrik Jensen. The E1.6Jensen MKII is based on their Type E body shape, which in itself is very metal, and is a feature packed guitar for the shredder within all of us.
What you need to know:
- Solar Guitars have teamed up with Swedish metal guitarist Patrik Jensen for his second artist signature, E1.6Jensen MKII.
- This model features an Evertune bridge, Fishman Fluence Modern pickups and a full access neck for shredding to the 22nd fret.
- The six string guitar touts a bold design with a large part of the sharp body acting as an arm rest.

This alder body with veneer top guitar is covered with a matte red and black gradient complimented by a maple C shaped neck. They’ve enlisted two active Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker pickups which provide a full and round sound profile while maintaining articulation and dynamics.
A three-way switch allows you to select which pickup positions you’d like to use alongside a push/pull tone knob for choosing either a Modern Active voice, or a Crisp, clean and fluid one.
For the bridge, there’s a constant-tension Evertune which is guaranteed to stay in tune under gruelling circumstances (i.e. you shredding for your life) and they’ve used their own Solar 18:1 locking tuners. There’s 22 super-jumbo frets on a 24.75″ scale on top of an ebony fretboard.
The E1.6Jensen MKII comes shipped in a gig bag with a truss rod and loaded with six Black Smith 1046 Nono Carbon Coated strings ready to play. There’s Patrik Jensen’s “impact wave” fret markers along the neck for maximum metal effect.
