Valley Arts Custom Pro 2003 quilted maple slate trans black McGuire signed -VIDEOSOON-

2003 Valley Arts Custom Pro USA: Quilted Maple Trans Black, Mike McGuire gold sign

Built in the USA in 2003 and signed in gold by Mike McGuire on the back of the headstock. Valley Arts co-founder McGuire built guitars for some of the most demanding session players in L.A. and Nashville. This one has a stunning quilted maple top in a deep Slate Trans Black finish that seems to ripple in the light! It sits on an ash body that shows its grain through the transparent black on the back. The birdseye maple neck carries a matching birdseye headstock face, gold hardware and Gotoh H.A.P. tuners and rare Gotoh bridge! It's a true boutique superstrat with the clarity and punch of EMG pickups in an HSS layout. It's in very good condition and comes in its original Valley Arts hardshell case with the tremolo arm and paperwork.

**The guitar can be safely shipped worldwide with express shipment: ask for info and costs for your country before place offers or orders: insuring a shipment will cost 1% of the instrument’s value.

Please check the pictures and check all lightwear sratches, dings, scuffs, buckle belt rush, ecc.. , read the description with care and ask me everything before placing the order: I'm not a store but a private collector and seller.

Feel free to ask for other pics and questions. 

Be aware that humidity, temperature, and handling can affect guitars such that adjustments to the instrument might be needed post-shipment. 

If tweaking action, intonation, etc. or having the instrument set up to your specs is not something you are comfortable with doing yourself, you will need the help of a local-to-you tech/ professional. Note that any associated fees incurred for their time and labor will be your responsibility.
The item you receive will function as written in the description, include all the parts/accessories as written in the description, and will be the same item that is photographed.

Because I deal with many vintage instruments, there can always be a chance that the playability and cosmetic condition are not exactly what you were hoping for: it is your responsibility to contact me with any questions or concerns before purchasing.

Most of my items have an inspection sheet included with the photos. If I made an error in my description and you are not satisfied with the item, then contact me within 48 hours of receipt and get it back to me 7 days after receipt. You will have to pay for return shipping. If the item is in the same condition that I shipped it in, I will grant you a full refund of the original purchase price only.

I do not give partial refunds: I do my best to describe and photo each item.

All items are sold as-is.

Ask all questions beforehand.

I love gear and I'm musician and love that each piece has a story behind it. I treat these like works of art. I love my customers. Seriously, I love learning more about you and your creative ventures. Let me know more about yourself!

I ship FAST! And by fast, I mean sometimes the same day of of the sale, most commonly within the next one or two business days: I buy stuff too, and I know what it's like to want to get your hands on your new gear!
