Looking for legendary Music Man playability and tone at a more accessible price-point? That’s exactly what the ‘Sterling by Music Man’ range is for! The Valentine Collection is known for effortlessly combining iconic “best of” guitar features into the perfect package, and this semi-hollow addition to the lineup is a real stunner!

This more accessible Sterling version of the Music Man Valentine stays true to the original specs that made it stand out — White Ash body, 12dB push/push boost (volume knob), Roasted Maple neck, and locking tuners — while elevating and innovating with the addition of a chambered body.

Key Features

  • Chambered White Ash Body — Semi-hollow design gives the instrument more sonic depth and “airiness”, yielding a gloriously resonant sound with huge sustain. White Ash is strong, durable and delivers a distinct upper mid-range with clear bass response and scooped lower mids.
  • Roasted Maple Neck — “Roasting” process removes moisture from the wood, making the neck far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates and ensuring incredible tuning stability.
  • 5-Bolt Neck Joint — Ensures optimal contact between the neck and body for incredible sustain and resonance. The heel is also contoured to provide generous access to the higher frets.
  • 4 + 2 Headstock Design — A feature that Music Man guitars are renowned for! This practical design allows the strings to run straight over the nut (not at an angle), which greatly improves tuning stability.
  • Locking Tuners — Ingenious locking mechanism makes restringing easier and means that less string winds are required around the tuning posts; resulting a better tuning stability.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.

The Important stuff

Natural — Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres..
