Ernie Ball Music Man Valentine • SN: H01802

James Valentine revels in being one of the "out-of-focus guys" on stage with his band, Maroon 5. The spotlight follows his heartthrob frontman Adam Levine everywhere, but that's just how James likes it. Ever the unassuming type, his melodic, tasteful playing is fuel for Maroon 5's hit-making machine. His riffs have formed the backbone of dozens of pop classics, and his Berklee-honed chops allow him to seamlessly blend rock bombast with Chic-esque funk and Steely Dan-tastic jazz. Now, our friends at Ernie Ball Music man have honored him and his endless capacity for crafting earworms by giving him a signature model guitar. Wildwoodians, we are proud to present you with the Valentine.

James Valentine hates switching guitars during Maroon 5's stadium shows, which is totally understandable. With all the hubbub that comes along with playing for fifty thousand fans, the last thing you want to do is switch guitars every other song. So, James Valentine asked the folks at Ernie Ball Music Man to build him a guitar that he could play Maroon 5's whole set on. But, they had to do it without sacrificing simplicity or ease of use (again, no one wants to have to fiddle with five mini-toggle switches in front of 100,000 people clamoring to hear "She Will Be Loved"). As a result, his signature guitar is supremely versatile even though it only has two knobs and a three-way switch.
