Part of Ernie Ball/Music Man's "Ball Family Reserve" series, the James Valentine BFR is a stunning collaboration between MM and the lead guitarist of Maroon 5. This is a real looker of an axe, but don't be fooled: under all of the glean and glimmer is a super resonant Ash body, a specially treated Roasted Maple neck, and an incredible MM Hum/Single pickup combo that makes this guitar perfect for live performance. Oh, and did we mention its #47 out of only 89 made? Call or email us with any questions!
