Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine Trans Buttermilk 2025 Electric Guitar Trans - Refurbished

This is an Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine Electric Guitar in Trans Buttermilk finish. Made in the USA in 2025, this guitar consists of an Ash body, a Roasted Flamed Maple neck, and a 22-fret Roasted Flamed Maple fingerboard. Other appointments include a Music Man Modern Hardtail bridge, Schaller M6-IND Locking tuners, and Chrome hardware. The pickups installed on this guitar are a Music Man Custom Wound Single Coil, and a Music Man Custom Wound Humbucker. These pickups are wired to a master volume (push/push gain boost), a master tone (push/push coil-split), and a three-way pickup selector. The Roasted Flamed Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with a profile closely resembling a 'C' shape. This neck profile and the satin finish provide a smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. The Roasted Flame Maple fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 10” radius makes bending and vibrato techniques a breeze, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The medium jumbo frets enhance vibrato techniques at speed whilst also providing a rock-solid and smooth playing experience. The Music Man Custom Wound Humbucker pickup in the neck provides the player with a thick, warm voicing, with a distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. The Music Man Custom Wound single-coil bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy Telecaster-like sound, making power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The added Push/Push 12db boost on the volume control is an incredibly handy tool for when you need your lead lines to cut through the mix, and the Push/Push coil-split on the tone control adds even more versatility.
