Description

The Sterling by Music Man JV60 James Valentine Signature, with Active Boost is an accessible, high-performance electric guitar designed in collaboration with Maroon 5's guitarist. It features a unique wedge-shaped Mississippi swamp ash body, a roasted maple neck, versatile humbucker/single-coil pickups, and an onboard 12dB active boost.

Designed to blend the vintage aesthetic of a Telecaster with the playability of an ES-335, the JV60 receives high praise for delivering premium, high-end specifications at a musician-friendly price point. Players frequently highlight the guitar’s resonant, sustain-heavy tone and exceptional sonic versatility, making it a reliable workhorse for both stage and studio.

Key Features & Specs

• Body: Double-cutaway, sustainably sourced Mississippi swamp ash. The signature "wedge" shape provides ergonomic comfort during long playing sessions.
• Neck & Fretboard: Roasted maple neck and fretboard. The roasting process removes moisture, resulting in a highly stable, lightweight neck that resists humidity changes.
• Electronics: Features a custom-wired pickup configuration. The bridge is a stinging, single-coil (housed in a humbucker shell), and the neck is a warm, noiseless humbucker.
• Hardware: Equipped with locking tuning machines, an oversized 4+2 headstock, and a custom hardtail bridge.
• Controls: Standard 3-way pickup selector, a master tone control, and a master volume pot that doubles as a push-push 12dB active boost—perfect for kicking solos into higher gear.
