If you crave the character of an aged, battle-worn guitar, the Solar Chrome Canibalismo is a metal dream machine. This unique guitar features a finish composed of actual metal that oxidizes as you play, evolving a unique patina that reflects your dedication and passion. This is a guitar that tells a story with every riff.
Solar Chrome Canibalismo
The Chrome Canibalismo, part of Solar’s cutting-edge Chop Shop collection, takes the concept of relic’d guitars to a whole new level. Its evil-cyborg, metal-devouring aesthetic is achieved through a meticulous five-stage process involving layering real metal over an alder body. As you play, the metal elements will respond to your hands’ natural oils and sweat, creating a singular, vintage-looking patina.

Launched in 2023, Solar Guitar’s Chop Shop, assembled in Madrid, Spain, embodies a dedication to pushing boundaries in guitar design. The Chrome Canibalismo builds on the reputation of these ‘never-seen-before’ models, guaranteeing both killer looks and performance.
