Valley Arts Guitars established a worldwide reputation for designing and building incredible custom guitars for some of the best jazz, country, and rock guitarists. Based in Los Angeles, and very near Samick's USA headquarters, the 2 companies decided to create an exclusive line of guitars with all the design specifications, materials, and build quality parameters detailed by the luthiers at Valley Arts and built by Samick's best guitar craftsmen. The result was an extraordinary selection of guitars that play and feel like custom-made instruments. You will find models with Birds-Eye Maple necks, solid sculpted bodies with natural wood tops, Floyd Rose and Wilkinson tremolos, Duncan pickups, and Grover and Gotoh tuners and tails. Only the best woods and materials were used and the build specification and setup tolerances on these guitars make them very special instruments.
