Explorer style tele humbucker/P90 build, made entirely with Western PA local materials - Western PA Walnut, Cherry, and Maple. I resawed the maple top from a 100+ year old maple slab that had a beautiful but subtle tiger flame hiding in it. Another big neck and very resonant! 12th fret block inlay and binding in the center of the body, makes it look like an ice cream sandwich! Dimarzio Super distortion humbucker and Wolftone P90, it can do blues, hard rock and metal.
Fully handmade here in Pittsburgh from rough cut lumber by Empire Music guitar tech and luthier Joe Madia. Please search Valentino Guitars on Reverb and jvalentino_guitars on instagram for more info.
