Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine Tremolo Electric Guitar - Maroon Sparkle Burst H00556

A classic tonewood recipe epitomized

the classic combination of ash for the body and maple for the neck and fingerboard represents one of the sweetest and twangiest tonal cocktails ever envisioned. The Valentine Tremolo pays homage to this recipe with a touch of contemporary class thrown in for equal parts vintage and modern. Its ash body is supremely comfortable in all playing positions, tapered where it sits against the mid-section to hug its namesake's body exactly how he prefers. Though the Valentine Tremolo's roasted maple neck is sure to deliver that trademark "spank" and "snap" guitarists have loved for decades, it's also a sight to behold. This stunning axe boasts beautiful figuring throughout that's sure to garner more than a few looks when you hit the stage. Let's not forget the matching figured roasted maple fingerboard, which is smooth to the touch and guaranteed to send your fretting hand from head to heel in a flash.

Highly versatile set of custom electronics

Though seemingly stripped down on the surface, the Valentine Tremolo's custom electronics cover the full spectrum of electric guitar tones. A pair of custom-voiced pickups go from glassy cleans to warm crunch and hard and heavy rock with ease, made possible with a smooth single-coil in the bridge and a thick, chunky humbucker in the neck. Dig deeper into the Valentine Tremolo's offerings, and you'll quickly realize that this stellar 6-string is ready for anything you throw at it. A push-push volume pot splits the humbucker in the neck for single-coil flavoring. Toggle on the push-push tone pot, and you get an instant injection of up to 20dB of screaming and sizzling gain — in other words, you can leave the distortion pedals at home and rely on this impressive axe to get the job done in any playing situation.
