[Here's a beautiful used one, like new!
Valiant Guitars is a high brand based in Ukraine.
The host brothers Gavrilenko have over 30 years of experience in guitar making, but have never lost their passion and continue to explore new things.
Of the brothers, Vadim plays bass and Dima is a musician who also plays guitar.
This is why they continue to explore and improve their respective styles from a musician's point of view.
Many parts, such as the bridge, saddle, and nut, are made by hand.
This makes the product more faithful to the concept of the brand, without any compromises.
The two brothers continue to evolve the history of guitar crafting since their father's time, and the brand is constantly progressing.
This model is a gem from the flagship TNT series.
Developed with professional musician Alexander Titov, the TNT series is designed for live and studio use.
While respectful of Fender's style, it has the developmental potential to accommodate more diverse ensembles.
Colored in a beautiful Sky Blue color, the body back is made of alder and the top is flame maple.
The neck is a 9-piece laminate type, composed of normal and roasted maple.
It is reinforced with titanium for strength and has a beautiful “Diamond Volute” at the base of the neck where it begins to angle.
The fingerboard is wenge.
The B-system preamp system, powered by 18V, provides only a 5db boost and does not add any color to the sound.
It has an excellent 2-band EQ, which allows for proper sound makeup.
Like the preamp, the pickups are of the original design, with dual coils on the neck side and a single coil on the bridge side.
The neck PU can be switched between parallel, single, and series wiring via a toggle switch.
Controls include volume, balancer, treble, bass, and a 3-way switch for switching the PU wiring.
Sound-wise, it is attractive with juicy overtones, while the amount of low frequency is well secured.
Depending on the wiring of the front pickup, it is possible to create a PB-like nuance or boost the volume even more, and when the balance with the rear PU is included, it can be said that there are a great many variations.
The main attraction is that every combination has a beautiful sound.
I feel that this means that the acoustic part is already in place.
This is a gem of a legitimate and powerful brand that continues to grow in the beautiful country of Ukraine.
Please give it a try.
