Vola Guitars has announced the return of the OZ ROA, now reintroduced with the long-awaited “Luminous” finish, a phosphorescent treatment that glows in the dark for a striking stage presence. By day, its sandblasted black exterior exudes a subtle, understated menace. By night, it transforms into a radiant spectacle designed to shine in the shadows.
The new lineup also includes two additional finish options. The “Sandblasted White” model delivers a frosty, arctic-inspired aesthetic that highlights detailed wood grain, while the vibrant “DSE” finish offers a psychedelic gradient that bursts with color and personality. Together, these three finishes showcase the versatility and artistry of the OZ ROA’s design.
Beneath the eye-catching looks, the OZ ROA remains a high-performance instrument built for modern players. Its chambered Mahogany body with Ash top ensures resonance and light weight, while a one-piece Roasted Maple neck with a Modern C profile provides smooth, fast playability across the 12-inch radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets.
Electronics include a versatile HSS pickup set featuring Vola VS-I single coils in the neck and middle positions, paired with a Vola VHC humbucker at the bridge. A 5-way lever switch and mini coil-tap switch expand tonal options, from crystalline cleans to searing leads. Rounding out the premium specs are Gotoh 510T-FE1 tremolo hardware, nickel appointments, and a 42mm bone nut for stability and sustain.
Handmade in Japan, the OZ ROA ships with a Vola Custom Series gig bag and comes strung with D’Addario XTE0942 strings.
The Vola OZ ROA is available now in Luminous, Sandblasted White, and DSE finishes. Get it here starting at $1,239.
