Hey all, really looking into the Valentine and there are some nice choices both new and used. I prefer the used route, but whichever presents itslef the best. What colors grab your attention that you would actually buy?

I really enjoy the BFR sunburst with the herringbone skunk stripe, otherwise the baby blue or green are very nice too. It looks great in every color! It’s a great design.

I love the sparkle finishes as online viewing/window shopping, but I'm not sure I'd never own one. Just not my style.
I know what you mean. I am struggling with that one. The tobacco sparkle is really pretty though!

Do the BFR finishes count? Hard to beat Walnut Flame and Pine Green in my eyes... 🕺
It's funny how the Pine Green is the opposite of my Teal Strat. In person the Teal Strat looks green, but in pictures you see the blue. In the Pine Green Valentine it looks blue except at certain angles! I like the Walnut, just not a huge fan of the bound EBMM necks.

Not a big fan of the pickguard on that guitar, but otherwise it's a beauty! It would be a great addition to my Strat! 1656513673885.jpeg

As it is I'm delighted with the ones I've got but someone sold a Saturn Gold Valentine on TGP recently and I came really close to nabbing it.

The Starry Night, BFR Walnut Flame, and Shell Pink are also finishes I'd love to have if I had unlimited funds.

There was a dark blue (looked like Neptune Blue) stained NAMM one-off that I am still bummed about having missed out on.

Fluff's one-off Valentine is absolutely killer: Screen Shot 2022-06-29 at 7.49.20 PM.png

My dream Valentine would have a flame maple cap, be finished in Hydrospace, and have a full rosewood neck.
