Nice guitar, reminds me of the old days when i installed a Floyd and EMG's on my 75 Stratocaster back in the late 80's.

Only had one of the imported Samick Valley Arts guitars, but it was still quite nice

Huge 80's vibe with those guitars indeed; Steve Lukather & Farris, in particular to me.
I had a 24 fret sunburst model from the "golden era"; cool guitar, but the 24 fret smaller body format never really felt right to me.
I'd love to play one of the old early full body models.

I think originally they were in house and then Warmoth?
I've always wanted a Valley Arts but never ended up with one. When I first started playing and was wondering what would be a good guitar, a guy I know who toured for years from LA said Valley Arts or Tyler was the best of the best.

They had a brick and mortar store in Cologne, Germany back in the 80s. I went there when I was an exchange student and got to play one of those Guild Brian May guitars. IIRC, they also some of the EBMM EVHs when I was there in the early 90s too.

They made a nice guitar, but we all know that Paul Reed Smith Private Reserves are far superior guitars. I think it would've been great if Valley Arts had a inter-company kickball game for charity against James Tyler with proceeds going to charity. Zion would be riding the pine.

I recall Steve Fryette talking about being a tech in LA at Valley Arts before his Pittbull days.....
