The new Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine delivers comfort, clarity, and style, featuring a wedge-shaped ash body for weight relief, a roasted figured maple neck, and stainless steel frets. Equipped with dual Music Man HT humbuckers, this guitar offers outstanding clarity and articulation, whether played clean or overdriven. With a 5-way pickup selector switch, adjustable gain boost, and glow-in-the-dark side dots for easy navigation, it’s built for versatile performance. Available in Ivory White with a maple fretboard and Cherry with a rosewood fretboard, the Valentine is a refined choice for any player.
Incorporating the principles and insights that contributed to the development of Cobalt and M-Steel Slinkys, resulting in a new material-based innovation for pickups
The Valentine HT humbucking pickups showcase a full dynamic range and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickups produce moderate power yet have a robust low-end response while maintaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.
The preamp boost is activated by a push-push volume knob and is factory set to 12 db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20 dB if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.
No matter where your volume control is set, the transparent buffered output preserves your signal from high-frequency loss and keeps your tone bright and strong.
Hand-selected body and neck woods are sustainably sourced from our network of hardwood suppliers worldwide. Ash and maple are individually chosen and matched for their beautiful appearance and rich tonal qualities.
