The six-string sports a trio of Vola-designed pickups, with the middle and neck positions offset for “increased response from the higher strings and more control over the lower strings”
Available in three unique colorways – Light Tiger Eye Burst, Sapphire Blue Gloss and Tribal Black Gloss – the OZ RV TNC boasts a mahogany body with a flame maple top, modern C roasted maple neck topped with a 22-fret, 12" radius fingerboard, Japanese-made Gotoh hardware and Luminlay side dots.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the guitar is a new fanned pickup configuration, which Vola says increases response from the higher strings and gives more control over the lower strings, adding “new sonic possibilities for the modern guitarist”.
It consists of a trio of in-house-designed Vola pickups: a Flamebucker II humbucker placed square in the bridge position, and a VS II single coil and VDR II single-coil-sized humbucker both placed offset in the middle and neck positions, respectively.
This layout is complemented by a plethora of switching options. Controls include a volume pot – with push/pull functionality offering an additional voicing for the neck pickup – a push/pull tone knob for coil splitting both the neck and bridge pickups as desired, a five-way selector switch, and a blower switch, which allows the player to bypass the volume and tone controls.
