Swan vs Gosling |

This page
is under constant development and will keep growing as we think of more
questions. If there's something you think we should add, feel
free to let us know.
Q. Does
Soloway Guitars build any scale lengths other than 27
inches?
A.
Yes. After all these years of building only long scale Swans, we
have finally released the Gosling, our first guitar with a 25.5" scale
length.
Q. Do you have a
preferred method of shipping?
A. Yes.
Our preference for delivery is USPS Express
Mail. Delivery is next day, and USPS is much less expensive than
any of the other express alternatives. They've never damaged one
of our guitars and they honor their insurance claims.
Q. What are the
differences between nitro and poly finishes
A. Tonally, I
believe the type of the finish is not as important as the
thickness. The simple rule is "thinner is better". The
bigger differences are in the way the two finishes age and in the level
of protection that they offer the guitar. Over time, Nitro gains
an elegant patina as it ages. A poly remains pretty much as
it was when it was new. On the other hand, nitro dents and
scratches much more easily than poly, especially when the guitar is
new. And finally, while nitro offers less protection than poly,
it is repairable. Poly is not. We have used both
finishes and we are currently offering nitro as a custom feature only.
Q. What are the
standard strings on a new Swan
A. Unless our
customer specifies a string brand and gauge, we use
D'Addario Excel 10's.
