Music Man BFR Valentine Bigsby Carmelo 2022 Limited 14/55

The limited 14/55 BFR Valentine combining Bigsby tremolo and hi-fi humbuckers in one collector's instrument

The 2022 Music Man BFR Valentine "Carmelo" is not an ordinary production guitar: only 55 units were made worldwide, each signed by James Valentine himself on the back. This is an instrument for the enthusiast who knows what they're looking for and won't settle for less.

The sound of this Valentine is defined by a custom pair of Ernie Ball Music Man "Ranger" humbuckers. These passive pickups deliver a rich, dynamic tone with a remarkable amount of hi-fi clarity and chime, a combination you wouldn't typically expect from humbuckers. The 5-way switch unlocks a wide palette of tones, from warm and full to bright and transparent. The vintage-style Bigsby floating tremolo adds a subtle, musical vibrato that perfectly matches the character of this instrument.

The body is crafted from solid ash wood, framed with elegant shell binding and finished in an exclusive translucent butterscotch lacquer. The roasted figured maple neck with rosewood fretboard and white dot markers plays smoothly and stably, while the uniform chrome hardware package keeps the overall look clean. Delivered with the original Music Man hardshell case.

A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of guitar history.
