Design and configure your own Violinatron! The Volta Violinatron is a first-of-its-kind 'hybrid electric violin', which features built-in speakers and a small resonator, allowing you and others around you to hear yourself play, while still operating as an electric violin, with a line output you can send to external amplification and effects equipment. Build your custom Violinatron by choosing from the following options: Number of Strings 4-string (GDAE) 5-string (CGDAE) 6-string (FCGDAE) Fingerboard options Fretless (standard ebony fingerboard) Fretted - with raised brass frets, great for assisted intonation in difficult-to-hear performance environments, and for fingerboard visualization and fingering pattern transpositions. Finish Color White or Black gloss finish (standard options) Glitter finishes (+$100) Silver Gold Rainbow Galaxy Single stage solid or metallic colors (+$150) Red or red metallic Blue or blue metallic Green or green metallic Purple or purpe metallic 'Champagne' metallic Other (indicate your custom color choice*) Transparent stain over flamed maple (+$500)This option includes an all maple body, with maple flame visible through dyed finish. (Indicate your custom color choice*) *To indicate a custom stain or paint color, use the text field to enter a Hex Code or an image URL. For a hex code, you can use Google's Color Picker to select a precise color and paste the hex code (for example, #0000FF would be a royal blue). Otherwise, find an image online of a paint color or stain finish you like and copy/paste the image URL. Guitar galleries are a great place to search for cool custom finish colors!
