Revolutionary Design with Contemporary Enhancements
Upholding the distinctive features that defined the original, such as the White Ash slab body, 12dB push-push boost, roasted maple neck and locking tuners, the 2023 Valentine incorporates a chambered body with an F-hole for enhanced resonance and a Tune-o-matic bridge with a Bigsby tailpiece that provides an extra level of expression.
Supreme Playability and Comfort
Featuring a finely-carved roasted maple neck and fretboard, a 12" radius, 22 narrow frets and black dot markers, the SBMM JV60 Valentine delivers an inviting and comfortable playing experience. The roasting process enriches the neck’s appearance whilst enhancing sustain, intonation and resistance to warping.
Vast Sound Options
The Sterling by Music Man JV60 Valentine features an SH pickup configuration, with an articulate single-coil in the bridge that excels at biting leads and a warm neck pickup that’s perfect for smooth rhythm parts.
Along with a 3-way toggle pickup selector, the SBMM JV60 Valentine delivers an extensive range of tonal choices to accommodate any musical style. The 12dB push-push boost control adds another dimension of sonic possibilities, allowing you to drive your amp harder without the need for a pedal.
Precision and Stability for Unwavering Performances
Outfitted with top-quality locking tuners, the JV60 Valentine guarantees exceptional tuning stability, facilitating swift and easy string changes. The 5-bolt neck attachment ensures a secure connection between the neck and body, yielding enhanced resonance and sustain.
Top-notch Components and Finishes

The guitar comes fitted with Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky strings for outstanding playability and crisp tone straight out of the box. A deluxe Sterling by Music Man gig bag is also included, keeping your JV60 Valentine during transportation and storage.
