Retro & Avant-garde: Empowering Originality with Diverse Forms – New Products at Soloking 2026

SOLOKING's three original series—LION , JUDGE, and KRAKEN—explore the fusion of retro aesthetics and modern design through distinct silhouettes and avant-garde lines. By incorporating new proportions, transitions, and curves into familiar instrument forms, they create a harmonious interplay between classic charm and bold expression. The sense of power of the lion, the sense of order of the judge, and the sense of expansiveness of the siren form the visual identities of each series, providing a unified yet varied design language for different guitar models. From standard models with metal-fixed bridge configurations to 30-inch Bass VI, Fan Product seven-string electric guitars, and Fan Product electric basses, original designs adapt to diverse performance needs, presenting more varied product forms. We hope that a violin can not only express individuality through its unique design but also serve as a starting point for musicians to explore music. This way, musicians who favor retro styles, pursue avant-garde approaches, or navigate between different genres can all find their own means of expression.
