One of my favorite songs you've made.👍
Are you at NAMM this weekend?
Yeaaa, Vola is my favourite guitar brand, even tho I dont own a single one xD (well, I have only 1 guitar anyway, next will be vola for sure)
I want one 🤩😍
Sir, the more "caveman" you go, the happier I am. This instrument inspired you to write something that made me non-stop stank face throughout the whole demo track.
Please if you can keep this guitar and write more with it.
HA, it is pointy and you LIKE it.
That was a sick demo Hunter! 🔥🤘
Dude,awesome channel. Keep it up
"Made in Japan" is a dead giveaway when it comes to quality. If you want to buy crap at a cheap price: China. When you want quality: Japan.
Not so cheap but worth every penny.
0:49 Kitty Kat loves Vola!
One of Vola's endorsers is Mayto, formerly co-guitarist in Hagane and currently co-guitarist in the new band Mana Diagram, which also includes former Hagane vocalist Uyu.
I seriously wanna get one of these. Anyone know if they're gonna restock their 24-fret models?
dude… a blowerburner switch is best if you go from a rolled back volume to a chug fest just a button away great demo thanks
Okay, NOW THAT looks and sounds quite cool! 😀 The prices right now are amazing. (Yes, I remember buying MIJ for $500-1000…)
They need to hush before the prices go back up 😅
Really like how you present your thoughts on the song writing process…that is a well known language for me…great guitar, by the way! I have got an ESP Horizon 1 from Japan which also has got excellent quality…
The way my jaw dropped when I visited the Vola site recently. Those prices are crazy lmao it's like old Ibanez Prestige prices from the late 2000s to early 2010s. Oh how I took those times for granted.
Looking really cool and it seems to work since like 80% of their website says 'Sold Out' lol
Great presentation of what seems to be a great guitar
Great guitar and now very good pricing, cool demo track as well.
What about your new Agufish Signature model V.2? Seems there is a baritone style prototype in the background? Any news on this?
The little bit of Credence after the demo fucken killed me 😂
Bad Moon Rising 🤘🏼❤
Is that your Model guitar in the background there Agu???????🤔
Sick guitar!! If i hadnt just gotten a Charvel DK24 HSS ( the pink one 😁 ) this one would definitely be on my list…. i mean it still is but it'll have to wait 😂😂
No demo of the middle pickup, huh?
Metal sports center theme !
You'd think the guitar companies would see this new market for cheap great guitars , their gonna lose market share eventually if they don't lower price
That’s an amazing looking axe!
Killer instruments. But they are not cheap by any means. IMHO Ibanez and Yamaha are way better bangs for the buck.
You know the worlds gone mad when it’s cheaper to buy a high end guitar from Japan that uses imported American wood than it is to buy an American made one with the same American wood
I'm constantly blown away by your writing, awesome stuff! I also can not believe what Japan is putting out. you better watch it USA!
If harley benton do a "copy" I am soooooo getting one. The fusion hss is great but the hotrail in neck position would be nice.
@agufish check the kirk hammet les Paul custom !
Because the guitar market is full of people who own 20 of the same brand of guitars because people have a weird sense of brand loyalty.
These Volas look really cool! I can remember watching you demo a 7 string model recently. I actually bought an Ibanez AZ 7 string last year, not many options if you want a production 7 string with single coils and a non-Floyd trem. I'm really enjoying the Gotoh trem and the singe coil spanky sound but it's not as sleek to play as I'd prefer. I seem to like Schecter's ultra-thin necks! Also found the bridge pickup on the AZ disappointing, this Vola bridge pickup sounds a lot chunkier.
If I'd known about Volas before I got my AZ it's very likely I would've got one instead. They only seem to do stainless steel frets and the slim neck on the signature model 7 strings though. I think I'd go for the Vasti model (Pierre Danel signature apparently) as it's available in that lovely sandblasted finish. Vasti seems to be their Tele shape, which isn't my first choice of guitar shapes (I'd almost always pick a super-Strat style first) but I actually really like Vola's take on it with their own little cutaway.
I got my AZ really cheap for a brand new guitar, for £1400 whereas it's usually £1800 – 2200. I think I got lucky when the retailer I bought from matched a competitors price that was out of stock anyway (some kind of automated price matching algorithm I think as it dropped to the exact price of their competitor). I definitely want to have a 7 string with a Strat-style trem in my arsenal but I think I'll sell the AZ due to those things I'm not so keen on. I've thought that a custom spec'd Kiesel would be a good replacement but of course that's a different price level. So the Vola Vasti may end up being the one..£1229 is an incredible price for the specs and MIJ, I may even be able to get that amount back from my AZ as I've seen some go used for around £1400. I'm sure the slimmer neck and 16" radius would feel a lot sleeker.
This 6 string model looks interesting too. They don't seem to do an HSS model with the slim neck and stainless frets, this seems to be the closest thing. That's the one other thing I found with my AZ, having 24 frets HSS can make the space between the two single coils a bit tighter which can be annoying with more aggressive picking. As much as I like 24 frets I think Vola made the right choice going for 22 with this model; that angling of the neck/middle pickups seems to make a bit more space by the lower strings too where it will be most helpful. I reckon I'd find this comfortable to play. Would prefer the 16" radius they have on their 7 strings but at least there's the slim neck!
What I love the most is that versatile pickup switching. You get so many options. Ibanez are good with their Dynamix but this seems to be even better. It's great getting the choice of humbucker/single coil even as you go into positions 2 & 4 where a lot of other guitars wouldn't give you the choice and just automatically split the coils. You could even use that blower switch as a kill switch. Whilst lots of other guitars I would want to modify the electronics to get more features, with this I'd be happy with everything they give you.
I will definitely keep this OZ model in mind as I do want to get a 6 string super-Strat with a trem at some point soon. I'm considering the Schecter MV-6 currently, and swapping its pickups to USA ones. But for not much more money this Vola seems like it can do absolutely everything.
Someone’s on quite the CCR train 😂
