Just received this guitar! The neck profile is almost identical to the Fender American Telecaster Ultra 2, profile and neck's surface, which I really love. The QC is great — barely needed any setup at all.

I own Proline Gretsch Guitars that cost me $3700 CDN before tax made in Japan and this guitar cost me $1400 also made in Japan and the fit and finish are equal to my expensive Gretsch Guitars. I will never sell this guitar! Looks great and feels great! I am not yet sold on the pickups though. I need more time with them through different effects but if I am to make a preliminary call, I find them a little weak and less punchy than a telecaster. However I love the way it looks and feels which is the only reason I am dropping a star.

I am by no means a ‘pro’ player but I have played and owned enough guitars in my time to know greatness when I see it… these guitars are fabulous. Beautiful looking, stunningly made, gorgeously finished, couldn’t fault it at all. Lightweight, sounds phenomenal and feels amazing to play.
This thing does it all sound wise. Chunky neck bluesy vibe? Yup, single coil tele twang? Yup. But then you pull a switch up and bang - humbucker power. I only stumbled across these guys when I saw a band I liked had a signature model, now here we are, in love!

Closest thing to a flawless guitar I have owned. Good set up great neck and frets. As mentioned elsewhere, the pickups are lower output. The neck pickup was set down near the body so I raised it up. For someone that mostly prefers neck pickups, I found the bridge pickup to be very usable. My only complaint is when the three way switch is in the bridge position, it is too close to the volume knob. I was also a little disappointed in the weight of 7lbs 12oz. I had seen so many videos saying how light these are. But it still meets my requirements of coming in under 8lbs. Overall I highly recommend.

Feels and sounds awesome, cuts through the mix, at least 11 tracks were remade with this babe, everyone wants to try it.

Beautiful guitar, I love the 12” radius. My favourite telecaster

I love this guitar. The neck is thin, smooth, and vey fast. The looks are incredible. It's nice and light. I can switch from Merle Haggard to AC/DC instantly. It plays like a dream. I have many very expensive guitars including an Anderson Hollow T, a Parke Fly, and a few PRSs, I'd rank this one on the same level.

I can’t speak highly enough about the overall experience of acquiring this guitar and finally getting to play it the guitar is so well made and plays beautifully I had heard so much good things about it I had to get one before they will eventually sell out as Vola has made the decision to discontinue this guitar, all I can say is I am really happy I got one before that happens. Thanks Vola and keep up your amazing work.

Thank you team Vola..

Great guitar - the look, feel, playability and sound all get strong marks! Biggest surprise was the shipping speed, despite this coming from Hong Kong to the USA it was blazing fast!

This is easily the best pound for pound guitar i have ever owned i ln terms of value. It sounds like a guitar that should cost double. The neck is the best and smoothest iv ever played and it has overtaken some of my £2.5k value guitars for certain tones and styles. I expect the next guitar i get in a few years will be a vola too

This is my 2nd Vola instrument, and I absolutely love it !
The design is fesh, the build quality is insane for the price, and the customer service is great.
One of the best guitar brands on the market right now.

It's a lovely guitar and well worth the money. However the bottom horn radius is too small to rest on my leg comfortably, and of course the sharp horn makes that uncomfortable. For me the guitar doesn't rest comfortably in the classical position either. Fortunately I play with a strap.

While it is a clearance guitar, This is a guitar i am really happy with. While I understand it needed to be discontinued. But the guitar stands up on its own and it a wonderful guitar that is a stand out in my collection.

It's a lovely guitar,it sounds great and the tone variations are useful. It's the most expensive guitar that I own now. It's more than three times the price of my next most expensive guitar.

Unbelievable quality, sound and workmanship. Great service too. Finally a Japanese guitar company as good or better than any other that is more than affordable

There is something magical about this guitar if you like the high end sparkle in your tone. This is my 2nd Vola guitar and I am very pleased. This guitar outperforms my Fender Tele that was more expensive. Excellent tuning stability. I live in a very dry climate and had to fix a very small amount of fret sprout, but that is common in my area.

Stunning guitar! its all there; workmanship, playability and sound but most importantly it feels like the guitar I always wanted, my hands feel at home the instant I pickup the guitar..... which is several times a day!

Perfect set up out of the box, did minor adjustments to fit my string height taste, (low action) without altering the already excellent playability. sound wise just in line with my expectations for a modern T style guitar. However the overall weight and instrument balance left me a bit puzzled, not a feather as a youtube review pointed out, but this is a matter of taste and nothing detrimental to the high quality of
craftsmanship involved. will buy another model in the near future.

Great instrument!
Different and fun, but still Telish!

Having bought other Vola’s this one a winner again! Build is excellent sound is awesome and I like the push pull volume knob for the added gain! The guitar is a tele style with a modern twist love all the body shapes and curves! The fretboard is what you expect from Vola a MC neck. The frets are great as all the hardware! Very happy with purchase!!!

About two weeks ago I bought a Vasti V3 MC Candy Apple Red. The build quality is second to none and love to play it. The reason I gave it 4 starts is because of pickup power is too low in comparison with a fender Telecaster professional II I have, the neck is thin which took me a few long minutes to feel comfortable with but thereafter it is smooth and easy to play fast.
I recommend this guitar to those who hesitant.
As to the guitar delivery it was so fast. The service is awesome great job Vola.

Ron Rauba

A wonderful guitar and well built, and sounds fantastic.
The only issue is, my fault and I knew before buying it, is the 12 inch neck radius. I'm used to the Fender 9 1/2 inch radius. Other than that, it's a lovely guitar.

Amazing guitar! Playability, finish, sound, everything is top-notch. Very fast delivery. Highly recommended!

This guitar is superb. The craftsmanship is second to none. Mine came out of the box ready to gig with, no adjustments needed. It sounds amazing to me, I love the simplicity and the push/pull pot for the bridge pickup is great. The bridge pickup (ceramic magnets) blends so well with the alnico neck pickup, and either pickup sounds fabulous by itself. I’m not one for “compound” anything, but the compound neck carve is actually really nice. Only one problem for me, I despise the 12” neck radius. I put 10’s on it and that helped a little bit but not enough. Telecasters play stiff IMHO (I think it’s because if the string-thru-body. I bought mine on Amazon and have returned it. Now, 3 or 4 months later, I think I’m going to buy it again and just deal with the radius. I can’t find anything that sounds this good. If this guitar had a 9.5” radius, it would be a 20 out of 10.

I’ve had my Vasti for about 2 years now, couldn’t be happier! For me it’s the perfect T-Style guitar and easily in my top 3 guitars I’ve ever owned over 25 years of playing. The neck fits perfect in my hands, the body either sitting or a strap standing sits perfect in any position. If you like a modern look and feel but want a tele sound this can achieve that and more. Taking advantage of the push pull you’ll go from Tele to rock no problem.
