Any Valentine mods, Here`s mine.....

I've changed the switch tip to a silver one, and also put a spalted wood scratchplate as I am not a fan of the tort one, mine was quite dark. Oh and the sticker is to hide a gash in the finish when the guitar got damaged first gig, ods law eh...

Had it made by a guy who had some nice wood left over from another project.

I dig the wooden pickguard!

While I haven't modded any of the EBMM Valentine guitars I have certainly modded a few dozen of the Sterling JV60 model. Push/push coil splits, humbucker swaps & conversions, etc. We have some very special JV60 models in stock right now, modded with DiMarzios & with a little extra mojo put into them.

I put a mirror pickguard on my maroon Valentine. Will try to post pics later. Looks a lot better IMO. Thinking about having an arm contour added to it and getting it re-painted.

I love it!

Here's one I modded with 36th Anniversary PAF pickups

I replaced bent steel saddles on my Sterling with stainless steel block saddles.

If you are brave enough to do that type of modification to your guitar, you must show us some pictures and start a thread. That would be so cool. Especially if you have Marty Bell sparkle the $hit out of it.

Glittery pink comes to mind.

I would be having it done by a great local luthier / guitar builder. A little nervous though about making that major of a change.
