About Music Man Valentine

Music Man Valentine is a signature guitar range for James Valentine from Maroon 5, and really showcase Music Man's craftsmanship and quality. A 25.5" scale length roasted maple neck paired with a slab ash body and modern hardtail bridge mean these guitars are bright, lively and responsive.

The electronics are another area where these guitars really shine, with an active preamp with a switchable gain boost to put you even more dynamic options in your hands. While all Valentines look like they sport a pair of humbuckers, unless it is specifically a HH model the neck pickup is actually a single coil hiding under a humbucker cover! On the Music Man USA models this is a Music Man custom-wound staggered pole piece single coil, and some even feature a push pull switch on the passive tone control for custom split pickup configurations.

The Music Man James Valentine signature guitar is one of those great amalgamations of features that blend together to create a versatile, satisfying and stylish guitar. Whether you are a Maroon 5 fan or not, this guitar can lend its beautiful tones and exceptional feel to any number of genres, thanks to its pickup choice and quality tonewoods.

At a glance, the Music Man Valentine looks as if it has two humbuckers. However, the bridge unit is in fact a special design single coil. The double cutaway design offers a familiar and ergonomic body to play on and the neck is pure Music Man all the way... in other words it's a delight to use!

The James Valentine model is available as a USA Music Man model, a Sterling model and oftentimes as a prestigious BFR model. All are made to the highest possible standards and feature limited edition wood and finish choices. As authorised Music Man dealers, we keep James Valentine models in stock at all times. Limited edition BFR models are available through selected dealers only, meaning we are able to offer the very best of the Music Man brand.

The unique body shape is similar to a Stingray with shorter horns, and with the stunning finishes Music Man offer these guitars have a timelessly classic look.
