Sterling James Valentine JV60CB Chambered Bigsby - Butterscotch

The Sterling by Music Man Valentine Chambered Bigsby is the latest evolution in the acclaimed Valentine Collection, designed in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning guitarist James Valentine. This model builds on the original's renowned features - including a White Ash body, roasted maple neck, and 12dB push-push boost - while introducing thoughtful updates for enhanced tone and performance. Its new chambered body design not only reduces weight for improved comfort but also increases resonance, delivering a more dynamic and responsive acoustic character. The inclusion of an f-hole adds to its tonal depth and visual appeal, giving players a lively and articulate instrument suited for both studio and stage.

The roasted maple neck and fretboard provide exceptional stability, resistance to warping, and a smooth playing surface ideal for long sessions. Combined with locking tuners and a 5-bolt neck attachment, the Valentine ensures precise intonation and reliable tuning, even during demanding performances. The 25.5" scale length and 12" radius offer a familiar feel for players who value both comfort and technical playability, while 22 narrow frets provide accuracy and control across the fretboard. The electronics include a single-coil bridge pickup and humbucker neck pickup, offering a wide tonal range from crisp cleans to warm, full-bodied overdrive tones. The push-push volume boost expands sonic flexibility, letting players instantly cut through a mix without changing their setup.

Equipped with a Tune-o-matic bridge and the iconic Bigsby B50 tailpiece, this Valentine model delivers smooth and expressive vibrato effects with excellent tuning retention. The Bigsby system enhances the guitar's versatility, perfect for adding subtle pitch modulation or expressive textures to your playing. Combined with its high-quality components and refined design, the Sterling Valentine Chambered Bigsby offers a professional-grade instrument that meets the needs of modern guitarists seeking playability, reliability, and tonal versatility in a single, well-crafted package.
