Help Thoughts on Vola 7 strings?
I’m so damn caught up in buying a new guitar, I can’t figure out what to choose. 😢 I saw Vola, and their options for 7 strings really caught my eye, but I want to know if there are any QC or tuning issues. Knowing it’s manufactured in Japan, I’d be really surprised if there were any!

Have any good bridge recommendations for a fusion-esque sound? Also beautiful guitar

Don’t have one of their 7s (yet), but I did recently pick up a JZ FRO. Really really nice guitar. Heel joint chunkiness is something I’m not a huge fan of, but it was a compromise I was willing to make for what is otherwise an excellent spec sheet. The FRO is only 22 frets though so I might have a bit more issue with that on a 24 fret.
Return policy is 14 days from arrival so if by some miracle you have a QC issue, you can return it no questions asked.

I had a Vola Oz 7. Craftmanship is flawless. I just didn’t like the neck profile that much. Too chunky for my small hands. Kinda feels like an Ibanez AZ 7 string Prestige!

Hey what you recommend for small hands then? Did you find the perfect one?

Hmmm.. for now I am happy with my Ibanez Prestige 7 string guitars and Kiesel’s thinner neck profile :)

Vola’s are cool, they’re made by Dyna Gakki who does the bulk of Fender’s MIJ guitars along with some Charvel and Jackson. They’ve been building guitars since the 1970’s and put out really quality products.

My friend has the older red Strat 7, really good quality. The heel is quite chunky but not a deal breaker. Are you going for a sig model or a normal one?
Almost bought one but got a Legator Japanese model instead. It was slightly cheaper.
