Hey John. Thanks for checking it out! They only sell direct within the UK. There aren't actually any stores that carry them. They have a webstore that is used to cover Europe: shop.volaguitar.com/ Are you thinking of getting one?

It's such a great playing guitar. It's like the perfect Superstrat because it's got vintage style tones from the single coils and a big fat neck, but it's got a punchy bridge humbucker and modern refinement on the build. I could see this being a great gigging workhorse because it does so much.

I’m a bit late to the party on this video Leigh but I was wondering if you still have the Vola Oz and if so what your thoughts are on the guitar 1-year down the line? I was really interested in buying one but in the process of ordering one online noticed on Vola’s UK / European website that they charge customers 20% of the guitars selling price (around £300 on Oz models) as a “re-stocking fee” if you return the guitar. This is worrying as my understanding of the distance selling act under UK / European law is that sellers must provide 100% refund. I’m aware that Vola are a Japanese company and wonder if they are aware of their apparent discrepancy with UK / European online selling laws? It’s a shame because I love the look of the Oz and sound of the pickups but the neck size and profile is the key to whether I would keep any guitar. So when you can’t play a Vola in store anywhere to find out whether you like the neck etc, their “20% re-stocking fee” is very prohibitive to buying direct online from Vola. I am more inclined to wait for used Vola Oz models to come up on selling sites where they can be returned for a full refund if they don’t suit. Do you have their classic C (CC) or modern C (MC) neck on your Vola Oz? How would you describe the neck size and profile in relation to say a Fender modern C? I’m currently selling a Charvel Pro-Mod DK 24 with what Charvel call their ‘speed neck’ because it’s too flat and wide for me, like you, I’m a ‘thumb over the top’ player so I want to avoid buying anything with a similar neck to the Charvel Pro-Mod.

Hey Steve, Thank for the comment and checking out the video. I do still have my Vola OZ and use it very regularly. It's one of my go to guitars for recording sessions because it's so versatile. I've gigged it quite a few times too, and it does appear in my KZitem videos too, it's in fairly regular rotation with my other main guitars. I got this OZ in November 2020 so I'm just coming up to 2 years of owning it now and I still love it just as much as the day I got it. It's been so reliable for me over the last 2 years. I'm not sure on the re-stocking fees or anything related to that but I suspect if you send them an e-mail they'd be happy to assist with clearing up any information you might have around that. They are fantastic guitars though and I'm happy to say that and recommend them to people. They make some killer instruments. I have the original CC style neck, which is quite chunky. It's not like 50s Les Paul chunky... but for a "Super Strat" it's certainly not the normal neck you'd expect. It feels somewhat like a Tele style neck, it's got that nice round feel to it and really fills the hand. I have tried the MC neck shape on a friends Vola but I personally prefer the CC shape. I too am someone who puts my thumb over the top and I don't find the neck size prohibitive to that playing style at all. Not sure if you've ever played a PRS with a fatter neck, but to my hands it feels somewhere in that ball park. It's got a 12" radius (I think...) so it's flat... but not super shreddy flat... and it's not as wide as a DK24 either. It's got way more of a vintage guitar feeling neck than you'd expect from a guitar like that. Hope that helps

@@LeighFugeGuitar Hi Leigh, thanks loads for your really helpful reply about your experience with your Vola OZ, it sounds like their CC neck would be the neck I would go for . However, the deal breaker as to whether I order a Vola OZ would be the 20% re-stocking fee they would charge if I needed to return the guitar. I e-mailed Vola a couple of days ago and asked for clarification of this, so I’m still waiting to hear from them because it definitely appears from their website that this is what they do. Essentially being charged £300 to ‘try a guitar’ would be unacceptable and would prevent me ordering from Vola . My understanding is that this is also outside of the UK / European online selling laws which stipulate that sellers have to refund 100% of the price paid for items sold online into Uk & Europe unless Vola (or anyone else) can tell me differently?

This guitar sounds awesome. Thanks for bringing this brand to my attention. I need to try a guitar with a roasted neck at some point

It's so versatile! I love it. It's my first roasted maple neck guitar too, they feel really smooth. It's effortless to move around that neck, it feels really solid too. The roasting process takes the moisture out which makes the maple harder. That really helps tuning stability and I suppose it would have an impact on sustain and frequency transfer too.
