Solar Guitars Indonesian-made vs. European-made Discussion and Review

This is a discussion about the differences between Indonesian and European made Solar guitars. Included in this conversation are also the variations between the Indonesian-made guitars including inconsistencies. I overall have positive sentiment towards this brand but I try to point out details that will be informative and helpful for potential buyers.
