USED Valley Arts / M-Series ST Type Trans Red [11]

The Valley Arts ST model combines a vintage-style Stratocaster design with studio-oriented practicality.

Featuring an ash body finished in a deep, translucent red, it boasts a striking appearance that highlights the natural grain of the wood. The ebony fingerboard delivers a tight sound image and impressive attack, producing a clear, focused tone.

It is equipped with three single-coil pickups bearing the "Valley Arts Manufacturing" logo. While featuring an EMG-like appearance, these pickups are characterized by a clear, low-noise sound and a wide dynamic range, making them suitable for everything from clean to distorted tones.

Controls include a 5-way selector switch and a two-tone system for the front and middle pickups. The rear pickup is wired directly without passing through the tone control, allowing for the direct output of a crisp, penetrating sound.

The bridge features a 6-point synchronized tremolo system, balancing ease of use with stable playability. With hardware unified in gold and details like logo-engraved tuning pegs and a logo-engraved joint plate, this guitar showcases a commitment to quality in every detail.

While retaining the classic Stratocaster character, this practical design incorporates player-oriented refinements throughout. It’s easy to play across all genres and will serve as a reliable workhorse.
Missing lock pin.
The pots and selector switch have been replaced due to malfunctions. The pickup lead wires were too short, so they have been replaced with equivalent vinyl-coated wire.
It appears the pickguard has been replaced, as there are screw holes that do not match the original ones.
Due to a crack in the wood near the selector switch, the pickguard screw could not be installed in one location; therefore, the wood has been glued and a temporary screw hole has been created.

There is a crack at the neck joint on the G-string side.
Overall, there are scratches, dents, peeling metal plating, and rust, showing signs of use.
