【new】Valiant Guitars / TNT5 Red 3.980kg #T24044【GIB Hyogo】

Valiant Guitars is a high-end brand based in Ukraine.

 

The Gavrilenko brothers, who run the company, have over 30 years of guitar-making experience yet continue to pursue new explorations with unwavering passion.

 

Both brothers are musicians: Vadim plays bass, and Dima plays guitar.

This dual perspective allows them to continually seek out ideas unique to a musician's viewpoint for each style, driving constant improvement.

 

Many parts, such as the bridge, saddle, and nut, are crafted by their own hands.

This ensures products that are faithful to the brand's concept and uncompromising in quality.

 

The brothers continue to evolve the guitar crafting legacy passed down from their father's era, driving the brand's constant progress.

 

This model is a masterpiece from the flagship TNT series.

Developed in collaboration with professional musician Alexander Titov, the TNT series is designed for live and studio use.

 

While paying homage to Fender's style, it possesses the versatility to handle a wider range of ensembles.

 

Finished in a beautiful see-through color, it features an alder body back and a flame maple top.

 

The neck is a 7-piece laminate construction, combining standard maple and roasted maple.

It is reinforced with titanium for strength and features a beautiful “Diamond Volute” at the base where the neck begins to angle.

 

The fingerboard is wenge.

 

The B-system preamp, powered by 18V, provides only a 5dB boost, adding no coloration to the sound.

It features an excellent 2-band EQ, enabling precise sound shaping.

 

Like the preamp, the pickups are original designs: a dual-coil in the front and a single-coil in the rear.

The front pickup can be switched between parallel, single-coil, and series wiring via a toggle switch.

 

Controls include volume, balancer, treble, bass, and a 3-way switch for pickup wiring.

 

Sonically, it delivers ample low end while producing an appealing, juicy tone rich in harmonics.

Wiring the front pickup can yield a PB-like nuance or further boost volume. Combined with the rear pickup balance, the tonal variations are exceptionally rich.

 

The real appeal is that every combination produces a beautiful sound.

This suggests the acoustic foundation is already well-balanced.

 

A masterpiece from a legitimate, powerful brand that continues to thrive in the beautiful country of Ukraine.

We highly recommend giving it a try.
