James Valentine is perhaps a bit of a hidden gem in our latitudes, best known for playing guitar in the band Maroon 5. James is an extremely talented guitarist and songwriter and his new Ernie Ball Music Man signature guitar is a truly impressive build that is strong inspired by the classic T-style guitar. Slab body in ash, neck and fingerboard in roasted maple, band in stainless steel... The list can be made long! A bit of a hybrid between 335 and Tele in terms of sound.
