Valley Arts Guitars M Series White 1989 w/Gigbag

Vintage Valley Arts Guitars M-Series in Cream finish made in 1989 with Gigbag. This guitar features a solid ash body, maple neck and ebony fingerboard with a color matched headstock. Equipped with a set of EMG SA single coils in the neck, middle and bridge positions. Controlled by 1 volume pot, 2 tone pots and a 5-way blade switch. The 24.75" scale length neck has mother of pearl dot inlays and white side markers with 24 medium frets on a 12" radius with a medium "C" profile. The hardware is comprised of gold Valley Arts Guitars sealed die-cast tuning machines with cloche heads, a graphite nut, a Valley Arts Guitars 6-saddle adjustable tremolo bridge and black top hat knobs with a 3-ply black on white pickguard.

This guitar is in overall good condition. The gold plating on most of the hardware is worn. There are light marks on the side of the headstock near the tuners. The fretboard has some light grooves in various areas. The body color has aged inconsistently and there are various patches of darker and lighter colors throughout. The pickguard is worn and has two extra holes near the bridge which we believe were for an aftermarket pickup. There are small dings and dents along with light surface marks throughout. (See Pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Gibson-branded Gigbag.
