I soon found out that there was almost next to no information on the type of Valley Arts guitar I had seen – the obligatory valley arts website for ‘Pre-Samick & Pre-Gibson’ guitars that comes up with any Valley Arts search had no guitars that matched the head stock I was seeing on this baby. I did not know the model type or the serial number – had forgotten to note these down in my enthusiasm – I did have the picture given above though. Went back to my room later in the evening and spent a few hours trying to find information on the guitar. I wished I had played the Valley Arts last – would have enjoyed those other guitars a lot more. Spent half an hour after that trying out various other models but nothing came close. The unfinished maple neck was very comfortable, the fret job was superb, and the Kahler Floyd Rose tremolo was amongst the best I have tried. Sounded great – crisp with a lovely mid range and articulate highs, tight bottom end. I plugged into a Fender Blues Junior and had a go. ‘That’s a 1990 Valley Arts Guitar’, said the store guy. I took the guitar down to have a go and its weight was astonishing (it later measured in at a hefty 9.13 pounds!).
