Today, Ernie Ball Music Man announced the release of a new limited-production Ball Family Reserve guitars.
This line currently features three familiar models (the Valentine, Majesty, and Axis Super Sport) crafted with rare tonewoods, exclusive finishes, and special appointments.
According to the Ernie Ball Music Man website, these guitars “are offered in limited production runs and allow us to present instruments to the public that were previously reserved for family and our loyal artists.”
Valentine in Ivory White
The double-cutaway Valentine comes in a crisp Ivory white with a gold anodized pickguard, gold hardware, and a bound roasted maple neck with matching white binding. Production will be limited to 89 pieces.
