Vola Guitars Releases the Malek Benarbia Signature Djinn Model

Vola Guitars Releases the Malek Benarbia Signature Djinn Model

Malek worked with Vola Guitars to create a unique guitar featuring custom artwork and Vola designed Modern C profile neck.



The design on the body of the guitar was inspired from the band’s album “Legacy”. Being a USA Custom shop model, the team did some really cool tricks to truly stand out. A few innovative features include the Luminlay, a custom-made glow-in-the-dark acrylic that Vola made in-house, poured, and cut the logo out flush into the body. The artwork on the body of the guitar is laser etched in and left open to feel the texture of the design so you have this high gloss finish and still have the texture of the artwork.

  • Neck through construction
  • Mahogany body, Birdseye maple neck, Ebony fingerboard
  • The Vola designed Modern C profile neck
  • Custom Artwork and designed pieces inlaid into the guitar

  • Finish options – Sands (natural Buckeye) and Void (purple burst)

Here’s a physical mashup for new sounds—something that never existed before now: a humbucking Charlie Christian pickup.


Have texture, color, context, and groove replaced shred chops and bluesy bends in the modern guitar era? Seems like it!

There was a time when the electric guitar reigned like a monarch. Plugged in, turned up, and cracking the sky with saturated authority, it swaggered through stadiums, screamed through garage doors, and printed sparkling textures onto tape reels in studios. Electric guitars weren’t just instruments, they were an accomplice in rebellion—a declaration of intent with six strings and a headstock like a crown.
