A sonically flexible signature guitar with exceptional playability.
The Valentine Electric Guitar from Ernie Ball Music Man delivers the innovation and sublime playability the brand is renowned for in a sleek, contoured signature model. With its sustainably sourced swamp ash body, two custom pickups and roasted maple neck, it packs versatile tones and fluid playing feel into a modern design. The Valentine melds timeless style with smartly conceived features to inspire your creativity.
Shape Your Sound With Two Pickups and 12dB Boost
The Valentine guitar equips you with exceptional tonal flexibility to craft your signature sound. Its swamp ash body resonates with balanced, organic tone to let notes sing clearly. The neck humbucker pickup and custom bridge single coil each have their own personality, while a 12dB boost activated by a push-pull pot adds serious punch. Kick in the boost to make searing leads cut through a mix or get crunchy rhythm tones roaring with authority. With the three-way pickup selector and boost, the Valentine provides instant access to a wide range of tones from glassy cleans to saturated distortion.
Play Fast and Smooth With a Roasted Maple Neck
The Valentine's roasted maple neck and fingerboard facilitate silky smooth, speedy playing across the entire fingerboard. The roasted maple has enhanced stability and sustain compared to traditional maple. Its satin finish and contoured heel provide a slick, fast feel that makes it easy to play intricate riffs and blazing solos with precision. The 25.5" scale length and 12" radius give a familiar feel to guitarists accustomed to modern C-shape necks. The Valentine lets you fly up and down the neck with polished technique.
Rock-Solid Intonation and Tuning Stability
The Valentine is equipped with a Music Man Modern hardtail bridge for flawless intonation and tuning integrity, even under heavy playing. The six saddles are firmly anchored to the body, providing a solid foundation for optimal energy transfer and sustain. Each saddle has individual height adjustment for precision setups. Combined with the locking tuners, the Valentine guitar stays in tune through dynamic performances and rigorous recording sessions.
Alluring Contours and Premium Components
With its elegantly sculpted maple top and contoured basswood back, the Valentine exudes refined style. It comes finished in a gloss polyester to let the wood's beauty shine through. The 4+2 headstock provides ideal string tension and the gunmetal tuners are smoothly responsive. Every detail of the Valentine, from its immaculate fretwork to the masterfully voiced pickups, reflects Ernie Ball Music Man's commitment to excellence. Express your musical vision with the Valentine's sonic flexibility, playing comfort and inspiring look.
