Rare Samick Valley Arts Custom Pro Shop Fender Strat Style Guitar

This is a rare find. You are looking at a Samick Valley Arts Custom Pro Shop (VACP) "Super Strat". These guitars are very high quality at a reasonable price. These were made in the 80's-90's, with the Fender Strat style design, and have since been discontinued. Valley Arts was a boutique guitar manufacturer located in North Hollywood, CA, that built custom guitars mainly for high end professional players. They sold their name to Samick and built the VACP. Do not confuse the Valley Arts models with the lower end, basic Samicks that are built in China or Indonesia. Difference can be seen in the headstock, as this one says Valley Arts while the other Samick strats do not. Gibson acquired the Valley Arts name and once again builds the high end custom shop models. I changed the original pickups for Fender TexMex pickups to give it more punch and twang. Thinner neck than a standard strat for a more comfortable feel when playing lead. It's got a hotter, more fiery cherry sunburst finish compared to a Fender Strat with the cherry sunburst. It's in great condition. I didn't want to sell it but my guitars are taking up too much space. Plus, I really don't play it as much as I used to. Please no lowball offers. I can just store it away if the price is too low. Case is included. $500 Firm.
