I've been using this guitar for more than half a year now, and I couldn't be happier with it. It delivers exactly the tone I was looking for. In terms of value for money, it's one of the best guitars I've ever played. The build quality is top-notch, it has a very unique character, and the guitar is incredibly well-crafted down to the smallest details. I absolutely love it. I might very well go for another Vola guitar next time.

Fantastic quality for the price. The guitar craftmanship is at a very high level, and I could not find any problems with the guitar:
- The looks are incredible and the sandblasted body looks awesome
- The roasted neck is gorgeous
- The stainless steel frets are very well done, and have a glassy feel to them
- The Gotoh hardware is high quality, as expected
- The neck has flat radius, fits perfectly on my hand, and I got the action very low, without any fret buzz

The only con would be the neck pickup that is a bit too noisy.

Finally, after half a year of active use of this beautiful guitar in studio, stage, home I can definitelly say, that it's professional grade instrument. Amazing craftmanship, look, sound. No alternatives from other brands at this price with that much features. Only modification I would do is make a cavity for tremolo, because it's usefull and I don't see any engineering limitations why it was not made at the factory, but this is more a personal preference. Now I am in love with this brand, especially after other sometimes more expensive but worse guitars, so next step is to order some merch and maybe guitars)

Superbe guitare, envoie très rapide ( reçue en 6 jours), qualité de finition irréprochable, digne de la fabrication japonaise, je ne peux que conseiller les guitares vola pour qui veut de la haute qualité à un prix abordable.

I am absolutely thrilled and truly very satisfied with this guitar! It exactly meets my expectations: I can play the lower six strings just like a standard guitar, with the added option of a deeper 7th string that allows me to quickly drop powerful low-end power chords whenever needed—without the baritone feel of overly thick strings. Very well done!

I absolutely *love* the way this guitar looks in the orange gradient finish! The neck is very comfortable, even though it's my first 7-string. The finish is meticulous, no complaints there. The tuners are not the most precise (I prefer the ones on my Schecter) and can go out of tune with trem bridge use, despite locking. The tone is very versatile - humbucker is heavy enough for metal, split coil / single coils are balanced for funky, strat-like bright cleans, the neck position is nice for leads (though doesn't "sing" as well as neck humbuckers in some of my other guitars). In terms of setup out of the factory: string action is very low (which I don't mind), the trem bridge is a bit too stiff for my liking. The lowest string is a joke and doesn't intonate at all at this neck scale, even in standard tuning - you *definitely* need a thicker one, not sure what the manufacturer was thinking. Overall great value for the price and a very unique piece of equipment, I'm very happy I got it!

I just want to say that this guitar is definitely worth it. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt in my hands.

Truly phenomenal. Quality is what you’d expect from a MIJ. It’s right at home with my Ibanez AZ, which cost significantly more.

The pickups also incredible! They’re the best stock pickups I’ve come across, and they don’t feel out of place next to the Bare Knuckle Pickups in my Ibanez and my Mayones.

Vola are the best value for money guitars on the market right now. You cannot find a guitar of this quality with Gotoh hardware and stainless steel frets for a comparable price.

Dat approved!

I've been playing my Vasti 7PDM for a few months now and it has quickly became my favorite guitar in my collection. The neck is incredibly fast but also easy to grab for bends and the pickups sound amazing. Was not expecting that from factory pickups. It's also beautiful as all heck.

Amazing tone and materials

Fantastic instrument!!!

Vola sets the standard for unbelievably high quality guitars at shockingly reasonable prices. The Vasti 7 PDM J1 has quickly become my favorite guitar in my collection, and it's my only 7 string. It's very nearly a perfect instrument, I don't know how this brand is so slept on.

Impressive quality, everyone loves it!

This guitar is my first 7-string. It felt odd at the start compared to my 6-strings, but I've gradually learnt to master the neck width.

The finish is almost perfect, minus some scratches on the plastic plate at the back.

Right out of the box, the guitar played well, good tuning stability and action. The bridge was slightly not in line but nothing a couple of turns on the springs couldn't solve.

Electronics-wise, the sound palette is very versatile. The pickups offer nice definition in clean and distorted modes. My only grief is sometimes hitting the push button for the neck pickup when I play seated.

Overall, a great guitar, well-built, delivered in 7 business days, coming with a nice padded gigbag that has its own look, so different from your standard black gigbag.

Congrats, Vola Guitars, for having built a very nice instrument.

Great build quality. Stays in tune. Whammy bar works good. Looks are awesome. Easy to play and set up. The humbucker pickup is a bit dark/muddy, but manageable if you change to lighter string gauge. and the single coils are a bit noisy. The guitar is also very heavy weight wise, if that’s a concern. Incredibly fast delivery. Maybe the best bang for buck out there, and very cool design.

The best value guitar I've ever had. Zero complains, excellent quality of components and construction. For the price you wont get this kind of guitar from another brand. Also, the shipping to Spain was really fast, in a couple of days arrive to my home. This is my first Vola and 7 string, and after almost a month I'm still getting used to having a extra string, but loving it every minute.

The unboxing experience of the guitar was phenomenal!
The instrument is of exceptional quality, amazing tonality, the stock pickups go way beyond expectations. Constantly dabbling on coil split tones for the time being.

Perfect guitar

When I first saw this guitar, my eyes were instantly intrigued. Never have I seen a More Unique Guitar with the Capabilities I Needed to Perform in the Studio and on Stage. _x000d_

I was in the Market for something in this particular price range that would serve well as my main driver if my Music takes me Anywhere. This would be something I'm more comfortable playing live as opposed to more expensive ones. And I promise you...This thing Sounds and Looks Just as Good as one you'd pay upwards of $5,000 for._x000d_
_x000d_
The Tonal Capacity of this 7 String blows me away and was Exactly what I was Looking for._x000d_
Single coils, a Humbucker, not to mention the Coil Tap, Parallel, and Series wiring setup for it. You can also switch off the Middle Pick up with a quick push of the button for an even more Unique Sound._x000d_

This guitar is also by far the Easiest thing to work on in my 15+ years of strumming. All the hardware is genuisly designed. Setup was very straight forward._x000d_

That last thing I wanted to mention was how incredible this company was during the purchase process. I was consistently emailed with updates that made the whole process completely worry free...and it showed up from Overseas in only a few days, even with a holiday thrown in the mix._x000d_

Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity to own such an Amazing piece of Art. It will always have a Home in my Collection, and I will always keep it Near Within Reach.

excellent instrument, very versatile with a range of sounds ranging from blues to jazz, funk, metal, very high-end. the violin making is impeccable, the neck is really very pleasant to play with good accessibility in the treble. very little detuning despite the floating vibrato which is a point rare enough to be highlighted!_x000d_
Honestly an exceptional guitar in my opinion for an unbeatable price!!!
