Description
The Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine combines versatility and style with a wedge-shaped ash body for weight relief and added comfort. A custom single-coil bridge pickup delivers clear, punchy highs, while a splittable neck humbucker offers a range of warm to edgy tones, complemented by an adjustable gain boost for extra gain when needed. Featuring a roasted figured maple neck, stainless steel frets, and new glow-in-the-dark side dots for visibility on any stage, the Valentine provides smooth playability and durability. Available in Gloss Black with a rosewood fretboard or the classic Trans Buttermilk with a roasted figured maple fretboard, this guitar is built for any setting.
