    Yes. Scaled down Tele style with P90s, oddly, an actual signature model. I may have got this wrong, but prior to Gibson buying the brand, I seen to recall Larry Carlton had some financial interest in the Valley Arts.

    Larry also had a strat one - I think he plays it on the Rockpalast or Baked Potato video.

    I went to a Larry Master Class a couple of years ago and he said he didn't even know where his VA guitars were, he had them somewhere, but no idea where. [/fanboi]

    Anyway lovely example have another bump !

    Many moons ago, I worked in the shop that was the European distributor for VA. Sold like hot cakes to all the best session
    players. Excellent build quality with great feel. The 9/10 body scale makes them good and comfortable too. Great guitars which, at the time, I couldn't afford alas! Would like to see some pics with the Gotoh installed.

    Couldn't agree more, they're great instruments. They play very smoothly with the 6100 fretwire. Someone should snap this up. That's a lot of guitar for the money and they're very rare now.
