Sterling by Music Man

collapse expand iconDescription

For 2019, the Sterling by Music Man “Valentine” model has been revamped with a new tremolo-equipped design. Still featuring the same great Mississippi Swamp Ash slab body, a 12dB “Push-Push” boost on the Volume Control, and a roasted maple neck/fretboard, the addition of the Music Man-designed 2-post vintage tremolo expands the expressive possibilities of an already great instrument.
