The Valentine combines the innovation and playability that Ernie Ball Music Man guitars are known for in a familiar yet modern design. Featuring a Mississippi Swamp Ash slab body, two pickups (humbucker in neck & single coil in bridge position, inside a humbucker casing), a 12dB push-push boost, a roasted maple neck/fretboard, and locking tuners, the Valentine has become a classic in its own time. Available in Vintage Sunburst and Trans Buttermilk.
