So where do I start?  Omg...

I could seemingly go through the entire body and highlight the unique and relevent details that not only make this hand made guitar extraordinary to play - but to feel, sound and to make it SO desirable.

How on Earth Valiant can make these guitars without doubling the price - and if they did or were twice the price I would understand why.

Whilst we could talk forever about the authentic detailing of the ageing and incredibly natural looking wear - which is outstanding - I will tell you what little I can before I get all of this officially from them - I just had to get this out to you asap

Adjustable Bell Brass Nut 

Yep - You heard that right - Each individual nut slot can be raised / lowered individually so you get the incredible ring from the brass nut but you get the adjustment that is obviously a little more tricky with a traditional brass nut

Truss Rod adjustment through the fretboard

Check it out.  What a feature!  It means the pickups can be put closer to the fretboard but it also makes for much simpler adjustment without having to take the neck off like you do with some brands - genius

Military Grade Metals

Used in the construction of the front and rear plates - we have military grade metals as used I kid you not - in military planes.  Does it get any more rock 'n roll than that one fact?

They design and build their own hardware

They manufacture and wind their own pickups, they produce their own controls and bridges.  Anything they can tailor to the instrument they will produce themselves, in some cases uniquely to that one specific guitar - and when there is a need for a brand name - They will use it - purely because they cannot make everything - but its these branded parts that normally end up adding thousands on to the cost of a guitar when a builder relies on third party branding to help sell their guitar as a "sum of the parts" caster.   

With Valiant, you have the most highly skilled engineers who happen to also love engineering.... the perfect guitar - so we can enjoy the result.

This particular model (photos are of the exact guitar - I took them myself), is called the Mastery as it has the famous Mastery trem system - renowned for being best in its class for this style of trem. 

Did I tell you it also had stainless steel frets?

I suppose that could have been the headline but on this guitar its just a.n. other remarkable fact about this wonderful guitar - but also a key specification available on any of the guitars they produce - and all my customers will benefit from this option (I can also have one made without if you prefer though).

I really believe its the combination of the stainless steel frets, precision engineering, the brass nut - that all combine to give these guitars their remarkable natural sustain and presense even when unplugged.

Series / Parallel pickup switching 

There are various combinations of single coil, humbucker and series/parallel options that I will provide an image to represent asap

The bottom line is every single aspect has been considered.  They have nailed the quality, nailed the price (for such a high level boutique guitar of this specification), they have nailed the players needs to provide the most versatile adaption of this model possible and you will have to decide if they nailed the all important..... MOJO!!!!   I dont think you need to guess what I think!

Finally, not a detail they would like to mention or wish upon themselves or anyone else - but take a moment to just consider these guitars are hand made in Ukraine - as we speak.   

Makes you think right?  

To produce guitars like this under any circumstance takes skills I could only dream of - but to do it in the current circumstances - to me suggests that makes these guys special people indeed.

Cannot wait to tell you more about them on my Youtube.

Te guitar comes in a hardcase and we ship Worldwide .
