Those who I know who have had issues resolved by Solar had to voice their issues long and loud, sometimes publicly before Solar would handle/address. CNC'ed Indo guitars. Great guitars, however overpriced.
This is likely an attempt to clear out '21-'23 Series 2 guitars that weren't otherwise going to move.
Ola is like Rob Chapman. Everybody's buddy if they are selling you something. They go where the fresh money is, and those early adopters mostly get the shaft unless they go to great lengths.
Seen it personally more than once. Not worth the hassle.

Like right now you can get an E-1 SLS Elite for $999 [sweetwater.com]. The LTD Phoenix-1000 [sweetwater.com] is also neck-thru w/ SS frets and costs $1199 w/o sale.
EDIT: And dare I forget the Yamaha Revstar Standard [sweetwater.com] (it's a set neck, but pretty close nonetheless)

The E1.6Vinter is great so far.

Wrong.
Epiphone crapping is a far larger sport than Ola-crapping.
No, it's because he lets sub-par instruments with improperly treated wood go out to his gullible followers and only actually addresses the issues brought to his attention when it is done so loudly and with persistence.
Source: Seen it many, many times over the years in Ola's very own Discord server. Finally left when I saw how he was addressing (or shall we say not addressing) these issues and watching good friends be out ~1k per instance.
I'm glad your three you have are great. However, plenty have not been, and saying that all the issues were during the pandemic is being willfully obtuse.
Just check out the Solar Guitars FB page, still plenty of cracked fretboards, necks splitting down the back, you name it.
I'm glad you like your Solar guitars. I really am.
Still doesn't change the fact that there were/are still a bunch of really disappointed Ola fans/Ex-Ola fans that (still) won't spend a dime with Solar, and I can't say as I blame them.
Good luck. May your fretboards never crack, and if they do, may you get some satisfaction, as many have not.
The Cort KX700 Evertune is also an Evertune with SS frets and it's on sale for $799. Bolt-on neck but otherwise amazing features for that price.

Solar's clearing out inventory, that's why they're doing this. But a BOGO sale by its very nature has a high buy-in cost. I personally don't care for the Series 2 guitars. I'd rather they just sell their Series 1 guitars at 30-40% off like other mfrs/dealers are doing.

I have never said Solar guitars were lower quality. I have also never said they were made in the same factory. As far as I know, serials from ESP LTD starting with IW and Schecter's MII guitars are made in the same Indonesian facilities. I don't know where Solar makes their MII guitars, but I do know there have been stories of fretboard cracks from guitar forums and Reddit which is at least telling their QC could be better.
I don't own a Solar, I don't love them nor do I hate them. I just don't think they're that great. It's my personal opinion. If you like them, good for you.
EDIT: amended my comment, it may not be Cort as someone else mentioned

I'm just replying to your comments suggesting ESP or Cort at full price over the BOGO deal and the skewed information. I just want other potentially less informed people have more of the facts.
All of your replies have been a suggestion for ESP or Cort over this deal Some are built in Korea & some in Indonesia. There are 2 main factories in indonisea. They're both Korean owned / expansions. Cor-Tek & Symsomething something.

Cort [wikipedia.org] is literally Cor-Tek's house brand. If Solar contracts them to make their guitars, then there's your answer.
Holy batman
EDIT: And why would you even mention that bit about the mod shop 335? "I'm searching for an expensive guitar, my argument is more valid"? Like okay???
Edit: by your own admission you don't own or have first hand experience with Solar. You're stating your "opinion" you literally said it's your opinion that they're lesser quality. You're suggesting Cort & LTD as if they're better even if they are made in the same place, by the same people, with the same materials… I'm just providing facts as opposed to opinions.
Yes, I'm waiting for high end guitars. I have over 100 guitars. I was simply pointing out I couldn't care less for a Cort or LTD made in Indo or Korea. Also, hopeful someone has a sexy 335 for me less than 10K. I'm currently on a boutique amp kick. Trying to buy all the Larry's I can find.
