Always wanted to headless guitar but, didn't want to spend $300 in case it wasn't all that enjoyable for me. So, for me, this guitar being $199 was perfect. Looked at Youtube reviews of it and not too many had bad things to say about this guitar in particular so, I ordered it.Unboxed it and it came with a decent padded case with the obligatory cheap instrument cable and hex wrenches (these are important so don't lose them, LOL). These hex wrenches are for truss rod adjustments and setting the action height on each string. So far, that is all I have needed to do to the guitar.Tuning the guitar can be done by using your fingers if you have strong fingers or by a tiny little crank that is magnetically held on the side of the bridge. Be careful with this crank. It is tiny and thus gets lost very easily if dropped.After tuning, I plugged in and started checking the controls. Volume and tone works as expected. The 3 way switch appears to be upside down since all the way up is the bridge PUP and all the way down is the neck PUP. Middle is as expected.The guitar plays great and sounds like the PUPs are hot but not in a bad way. Decent amount of resonance considering this is not a big guitar. The resonance is comparable to my EVH 5150.The only complaints I can find with this guitar is the before mentioned volume being either on or off when turned and the placement of the output jack. It is located on the side near the volume and tone controls which when I sit and play is right where I would want to rest it on my leg since I like to hold guitars at a 45 degree angle. It would have been very nice if the output jack was located on the front of the body like a Fender Strat or closer to the strap button on that side. However, the output jack placement isn't a dealbreaker, it is something to be aware of when you consider buying one.In the end, this guitar is a great value. I have purchased worse full-sized guitars for more than I put down for this guitar. I recommend getting it before they increase in value.

This is a Volgoa headless from amazon. It was $167 shipped. This is including shipping and taxes. It’s stunning to look at. Out of all of the low cost headless models, I found this body shape to be the nicest. Out of the box, the action was a little high and the frets were a bit “chalky”. They had some light friction with the strings.I spent time with it last night and today setting it up, polishing the frets, oiling the fretboard and putting on some new strings. I got the action perfect, but it's going back. The pickups are weak as well, which I was planning to change, but I realized that I just wasn't having fun with it. It was fighting me the entire time. It was uninspiring.The final nail in the coffin was playing my Suhr Standard afterwards. I thought, why waste the $167 on something like this when I have some other killer guitars?Side note: This is the second one that was sent to me. The first one had an issue with the g and d strings that no matter how high i adjusted the saddles or adjusted the truss rod, they wouldn't stop buzzing. The second one I got was a lot better.Stupid G.A.S.

The example I received needed a lot of set up work, and probably a neck shim. The action was very high and the bridge does not appear to allow for string height adjustments. EDIT: This turns out to not be true. After my review I saw a YouTube video that went into great detail about this bridge and it turns out mine was adjusted all the way up and could have been dropped quite a bit. My bridge on this guitar was not adjusted for intonation or for action, it seems Volgoa intends for the user to have it set up, or for the user to know how to set it up.It is a pretty guitar and very comfortable to sit with (in classical position). The neck shape is not quite as slim as a “modern c” but still on the slim side and totally comfortable. I intend to try more of this style of guitar, for sure.

This is good for a "practice" guitar.I just started playing a month ago. I have nicer guitars. Better gear does not make you better, especially when starting out - only practice makes you better. The key thing for a beginner (in my opinion) is a playable guitar without sharp frets and a neck that works for your hand size. For me, this was cheap, light, and compact enough to be my "Bang around" guitar. I have it at my desk, and it's light enough and compact enough for me to walk around with it, and play when I'm on a call (obviously I don't plug it in), cooking, making tea, lounging, etc. If this sounds weird, think of it this way - the only way you're going to improve is by playing and establishing muscle memory. So having this handy and portable, helps me do that because - I'm pretty busy and mostly work from home.Is the guitar perfect? Nope.The Bad:The action is high out of the box - this can be adjusted, and should be adjusted - there are instructions online for this and it's not that difficult. Action being high means the strings are too far off the fretboard and harder to press down. It makes a guitar harder to play, especially for beginning and younger players who don't have the finger strength.The pickups are "muddy". If you are buying this for tone, I would look elsewhere. If you want a good practice guitar, these are good enough. "Muddy" to me means the pick-ups sound "muffled", like there is a towel covering them or something. With that said, it actually sounds pretty good strumming open chords (compared to my more expensive guitars) without it plugged into an amp - kinda weird, but works for me since I play it mostly not plugged in.Where the edge of the guitar connects with the side of the neck, the body is a little sharp - easily fixed with sandpaper or just throw a piece of tape over it (most likely you aren't playing that far up the fretboard anyway).With the shape, it sits weird on the stand and can fall over if you just lean it against the wall - I expected this, but just an FYI.The Good:The frets appear to be stainless steel, aren't sharp, and are better than a lot of $1000+ guitars I've noodled on at guitar stores. I'm not promoting this guitar, this is just a fact. I think they're better than most Squier and Epiphones (My '59 Epi Inspired by Gibson is better), and better than some of the Made in Mexico (MIM) Fenders. Also, the composite fretboard hasn't shrunk in my local arid winter climate like my other guitars - which is nice - low maintenance.It's an ugly-looking guitar, I got the red one - but the finish is immaculate - no blemishes.The build quality/Quality Control (QC) is excellent, nothing was loose, all the electronics work, no funky knobs/switches.The neck is smooth (satin vs gloss) and easy to play, I don't have a radius gauge, but my guess is it's a 9.5 C Shape. Considered modern and comfortable by many.Bottom Line:Would I buy another one? Yes. Is there a lot of value here? Yes.Who is this for? If you are a beginner and want a guitar that's inexpensive and easy to play with a 5-minute adjustment to the action (it's playable without the adjustment) this is worth it.If you want something inexpensive that you can carry around with you to develop muscle memory for practicing chords, and rhythm, becoming familiar with picking and strumming, and getting comfortable with the fretboard, while not freaking out if you bump into something, because this guitar is sturdy (and you can find them here at Amazon on sale for under $200) - this is great, and the headless makes it easy to maneuver through doorways, in the kitchen, down the stairs, etc.If you're looking for a cool-sounding headless shredder guitar (or just a good-sounding guitar in general), spend the money on the Legato, Ibanez, Kiesel, or my favorite - a Strandberg.
