A resonant and expressive electric guitar with classic flair.
The 2023 Valentine Chambered Bigsby electric guitar from Valentine Guitars artfully combines vintage appeal with modern innovations. Designed in collaboration with Grammy-winning artist James Valentine, this guitar stays true to the original Valentine specs, like the White Ash slab body, 12dB push-push boost and roasted maple neck. At the same time, it delivers exciting new features like the chambered body construction and Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece. For guitarists seeking a versatile instrument with exceptional resonance, tuning stability and tonal textures, the Valentine Chambered Bigsby hits all the right notes.
With a Chambered Body Construction
The 2023 Valentine guitar features a chambered body design with an f-hole, resulting in enhanced resonance and sustain compared to a solidbody electric. The open chambers let the guitar vibrate freely, allowing your notes to ring out with richness. Combined with the lively snap of the White Ash, this chambered construction gives you a nuanced tonal palette. The f-hole also adds to the acoustic-like responsiveness. And by reducing weight, the chambered body improves comfort during long gigs. Play this Valentine Chambered Bigsby and let your sound shine.
With a Bigsby B50 Tailpiece
Adding shimmer and expression, the Bigsby B50 tailpiece generates a smooth, vintage-style vibrato. Just a subtle, relaxed movement of the arm provides a warm, chorusing effect. You can apply vibrato to single notes, letting them swell gently under your fingertips. Or add vibrato to chords, eliciting an almost organ-like warble. From subtle inflections to more pronounced oscillations, the Bigsby B50 tailpiece allows you to put your personal stamp on every note. Let your playing take flight with the musical, mesmerizing vibrato of the Bigsby B50.
With a Roasted Maple Neck and Locking Tuners
The Valentine Chambered Bigsby features a roasted maple neck and fingerboard for rock-solid stability, even during wild vibrato excursions. The roasting process enhances the wood's resilience against environmental changes. Combined with a dual-action truss rod, this roasted maple neck retains tuning precision through changes in humidity and temperature. Locking tuners provide an added safeguard against pitch fluctuation. Simply lock the tuners after tuning up and you can wring out the Bigsby without losing your settings. On stage or in studio, rely on the Valentine's roasted maple neck and locking tuners to keep you in tune.
With a 12dB Push/Push Boost
When you need that extra push to cut through the mix, kick in the Valentine's 12dB boost with the tap of a button. Just press the volume knob to engage a volume bump tailored for lead work. With up to 12 decibels of gain on tap, you can soar over the band during your solos. When it's time to return to the rhythm section, press again to disengage. Whether you need a volume hike for a specific lick or an overall solo boost, the push/push boost provides on-call support.
