Valkenburg USA Jeff Duncan “Scarlet” Artist Series Electric Guitar – Red/Black Factory Relic – Custom Shop Level

This is the Valkenburg USA Jeff Duncan “Scarlet” Artist Series—a brand new, artist-developed instrument built with the same level of precision, feel, and tonal authority expected from top-tier custom shop guitars.

Created in direct collaboration with Armored Saint guitarist Jeff Duncan, the Scarlet is not a signature in name only—this model reflects the exact design, performance demands, and tonal expectations of a professional touring player.

Finished in a striking red-to-black fade with an intentional factory relic treatment and signature star graphic, this guitar delivers a broken-in look and feel straight out of the case—without any compromise in condition or performance.

Why Valkenburg USA

Valkenburg USA instruments are built for players who demand more than production-line guitars can deliver.

Each build is crafted with a focus on:
• Precision feel and effortless playability
• Immediate “broken-in” response
• Balanced resonance and sustain
• Professional-grade reliability

In terms of build quality, feel, and tonal response, Valkenburg USA consistently stands alongside—and often exceeds—the standards set by Gibson Custom Shop and Fender Custom Shop instruments.

This is why an increasing number of professional players are turning to Valkenburg as their go-to instrument.

Built for Performance

The Jeff Duncan Scarlet is designed to deliver clarity, punch, and control across a wide tonal range—from articulate cleans to aggressive high-gain applications.

Key features include:

• Alder body for balanced tone and resonance
• Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
• Comfortable oval C profile for speed and control
• 12” radius for modern playability
• Margasa Hurricane humbucker – powerful, articulate, and dynamic
• Valkenburg single coil – clarity and definition
• FU Tone floating trem system for stability and expressive control
• Gotoh vintage-style staggered tuners
• Bourns electronics and Pure Tone input jack

Every component is selected with performance, reliability, and tone in mind.

Condition

• Brand New
• Factory relic finish (intentional distressing from builder)
• No functional wear or damage

What Sets This Guitar Apart

This is not a mass-produced instrument.

This is a boutique, artist-driven build designed for serious players.

• Artist-developed design—not a generic signature model
• Boutique craftsmanship with limited production
• Effortless playability—feels broken-in from the first note
• Visually distinct—no two relic patterns are identical
