NEW PICKUPS
The new Vola VFP90 pickups offer a harmonious blend of possibilities, finding the perfect middle ground between the spanky brightness of a single coil and the warmth and fullness of a humbucker. Their responsive nature lends itself well to rich leads and articulated riffs in a variety of styles and genres. With the adjusted output capacity and lower resonant peak, it can handle deeper low-end and milder, smoother highs. The centrally placed VS-I single coil adds to its diverse range.
NEW BODY SHAPE WITH ROUNDED EDGE
Designed with comfort in mind, the brand new offset body style offers a classic look with contemporary features.Constructed of alder, it is both well-balanced and intently contoured.The rounded edge decreases the potential for fatigue during long sessions or gigs.Additional accessibility is attributed to a deeper bevel on the lower cutaway of the body.

STAINLESS STEEL FRETS
22 stainless steel frets adorn the fingerboard to provide unrivaled durability. Each one undergoes scrutinous inspection by our team of luthiers for optimal playability and consistency.
