I second that, although still about a decade younger, but not many things have much appeal any longer. However, something like this is something to want, I agree!
PRS finally meets a true Italian competitor. It's a wonderful guitar. The clean tone is quite outstanding. Stradivarius is also Italian. Valenti Guitars is a brand to look forward to.
I own Valenti no 49 (purple Tele), Luigi is such an incredible guy to deal with and it's incredible satisfying watching his business take off the way it has, he deserves all the accolades as he is such a perfectionist in his work and you can just see the care and attention and love he puts into every single piece. He builds everything, including the pickups, and attention to detail is perfect 🥰
Dear Darrell , for all those who make a serious decision to learn to play this instrument, one thing is certain, every guitar produces an sound in accordance with its performance, and this is called the color of the sound, SO THERE IS NO GOOD COLOR OR BAD COLOR..THERE IS ONE THAT YOU LIKE....OR NOT, SO THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD GUITAR?! ALL GUITARS ARE LIKE WOMEN, they suit some and some don't... with a good amplifier and a good processor, I use the AX3000G KORG on my recordings, you can get a good sound, let's say this Epiphone SL guitar.. or I use Flight (Slovenian manufacturer, shape Les Paul) I also use Ibanez Gio GRG 121, also Stagg shape Stratocaster, produced in 1995, they all sound great, depending on the purpose for which song I want to use them. All guitars has a great sound and with good parameters it can be used as a professional instrument , best regards from Edy ..and all the best in your future work
That is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful instruments that I have seen in very long time. Fabulous workmanship. You are a fine player, but I would have enjoyed hearing it clean with a touch of breakup like through a Blues Junior or tweed. P90 s thrive there in my opinion. Really not impressive when distored/fuzzed up but that's just me. Treasure that instrument as it is a work of art. Love the videos.
One can see, hear and feel the love that probably goes into every single instrument he builds and ships. A true testament to pristine design and craftsmanship! "She's" a looker and a keeper for sure!
Thank you very much! This is my passion, not only my job. I really appreciate that someone could see it through my work only by watching a video. thanks again!
@@valentiguitars I'm on your homepage and watching the building process video. It's a joy to watch you while making these fine instruments, the focus and dedication are palpable! Here's to hoping I find ways to get me a budget for one such fine piece of art.
Absolutely gorgeous and, somehow, still understated if you're not looking closely. When you do look more closely, it's anything but understated. Beautiful. The neck alone is insane. And, the tone from those pickups is stunning.
I was on their website. Beautiful guitars in high quality... I really like the work on all the details. These are just wonderful guitars... I put a red guitar on my wish list, it's the first model on their website...
Im a sucker for blue guitars! and that one is just stunning...the flamed neck was a nice touch. Thanks Darrell for the video and hats off to Luigi for a killer guitar. The question is though, if you play blues on a blue guitar, does that make it "bluesy-er"?
Beautiful guitar! The carved Nebula is a lovely design. I have two Valentis, but I'm now wondering if I should have gone for the f-hole... wasn't that much of an upcharge as I recall and it looks great.
While I'm not a fan of the gold hardware and the little bit garish top finish, I can most certainly appreciate the build and the quality and the details. And I love that body wood, and it's a nice headstock shape. That's quite a nice guitar!
Kind of unrelated to this particular video but what would be a good pick up set up on a telecaster to play some country/rock? I play a lot of keith urban stuff! Thanks in advance! Love the videos!
One of the first things I noticed is that the humbuckers have a lot of space between them. I like that. Sometimes pickups get in the way when fingerpickin' or plukkin' the instrument. I like to play with or without guitarpick. Beautiful guitar great sounds
Really liked the overall features and appointments of the design (similar to PRS semi-hollow). Wish the pick-up selector was closer to the neck, like on lespauls. However, these P90s sounded a bit thin.
P90s with a whammy bar, nice. Black limba is from the same tree as Korina, or white limba. One of them is just the heartwood from the tree. Waiting on a Warmoth body that’s black limba with a quilted maple top (first time trying them out.)
Talk about "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"; Valenti's website doesn't even have prices. That thing is stunningly gorgeous though, no doubt worth it if you *can* afford it.
Wonderful skilled boutique builder producing a gorgeous instrument not just for the showroom garage but also can take it out for a tour, in the grand Italian tradition. P90s are a great choice, but are they noiseless cause they sounded pretty bell like yet with no hum?
Another great video. When you get around to doing another affordable guitar video. An interesting brand would be Volgoa. Seen some good and some bad reviews. Would be interesting to get your opinion.
Damn. Incredible craftsmanship. The heel joint was perfection. Not sure why more wouldn’t do flush back plates. Seems like a no brainer feature. Be cooler carbon fiber though. Trick bits make all the difference
Lovely instrument. Do you know what nut width it has and what kind of neck shape does it have? So tempted to order my first custom guitar from Valenti, they look and sound amazing.
I’m lucky enough to own a Valenti Tanos (telecaster) semi hollow with a maple top and black limba body. It is a gorgeous guitar. I went for a P90 neck and split humbucker bridge. It is a phenomenal guitar. His work is absolutely first-rate. ❤️
My Ibanez RG550 of "2000" has a flush cavity plate on the back. It's pretty common on guitars that I have seen. Even my Jackson DK3 Pro is that way with the back plate. Also, my guitars, if they have a regular maple neck that is not painted, I always grab a file and sandpaper and strip the neck down to the heel joint the same way. I started doing that to my guitars about 20 years ago. I hate a square heel on my guitars. But hey, man, that guitar there is beautiful!
While I love the sound of P-90's, I've never seen any that didn't look absolutely, positively hideous, until now. Those gold-colored/plated pups look fabulous!
I know this is an awful request. But can you please review Corona guitars modern plus and the se version. There has been a lot of hype on this on the beginner to mid tier price range. If you just have the time. Have a good one.
That is a gorgeous guitar...in both sound and looks!! I followed the link and more beautiful guitars, but no prices. I guess this is one of those things that, if you have to ask, that's probably the first sign that you can't afford it.
Pricing seem very competitive with high end prs and Gibson. In some cases more affordable than custom prs and Gibson but having what appears to be superior quality. Beautiful instrument indeed.
Hey Darrell, Can I make a request for you to review a Schecter Solo-II SLS Elite Evil Twin? No videos on it. Would be grateful to see you demo it and explain. No really any videos about it online. Thanks!
My friend Luigi at Valenti guitars is at it again! Enjoy :)
Let me know if you played this guitar at NAMM!
Big question is DBG did you buy it yet??
Gorgeous!
Could you do the harley benton bm-75, it's a replica of Brian May's red special and I want to hear your thoughts on it
At 67 I don't lust for much anymore.. but man, that guitar had me swooning....
I second that, although still about a decade younger, but not many things have much appeal any longer. However, something like this is something to want, I agree!
I think my favorite feature is the exposed natural maple inside the f hole. I think it looks really cool being unfinished or bound
PRS finally meets a true Italian competitor. It's a wonderful guitar. The clean tone is quite outstanding. Stradivarius is also Italian. Valenti Guitars is a brand to look forward to.
My thoughts exactly, @Senkim. PRS got some serious competition now from a one-man-venture.
thank you very much for the compliments and for putting me in the same sentence as Stradivarius!
Easily one of the most beautiful tops and I've seen on a guitar. The artist's eye and the craftsman's hand working in harmony.
Thank you very much! really appreciated!
@Darrellbraun.. STOP SPAMMING LOSER IMP BOT!

Ok, here I go... ow ow OWWW!
Beautiful guitar! It has two of my favorite things, f holes and p90s! I have to admit Im a little jealous.
What a guitar!!! Luigi is a maestro!!! And a very down to earth guy. Keep on building!!!!

They are stunning guitars for sure. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are exquisite!
I personally know Luigi: he’s a true artist and down to earth guy. He deserves all the best!
That is one gorgeous piecof work!
Beautiful Guitar
What a beautiful guitar. I think this is the prettiest guitar I've seen on your channel. I love everything about it. 💙💙
thank you very much!
Love, love, love that combined pickup clean sound. I didn't know you could get that smooth of a tone with P90s!
I don't like PRS looking guitar shapes but this one is different enough that i LOVE it! That back and the neck!😍
A beautiful guitar that needs to be played and not treated as a museum piece!
Matching headstock... FOR THE WIN!!!
that is one of the most perfect guitar I have ever viewed. Incredible......
That is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful instruments that I have seen in very long time. Fabulous workmanship.

Hey Derrell, that guitas was really a piece of art. If I wasn't playing it I would have it hanging on my wall. BEAUTIFUL!!!
One can see, hear and feel the love that probably goes into every single instrument he builds and ships. A true testament to pristine design and craftsmanship! "She's" a looker and a keeper for sure!

Hi Darrell, what a stunning instrument. Superb in every way. Pickups sounded great. Cheers ✌️🎸
Damn that guitar is beautiful and has luscious tones played by you Darrell
Your runs are so melodic and good. Very expressive.
That's a beautiful guitar.
Absolutely gorgeous and, somehow, still understated if you're not looking closely. When you do look more closely, it's anything but understated. Beautiful. The neck alone is insane. And, the tone from those pickups is stunning.
Wow, it seems perfect as it is and sounds!!!
That is one gorgeous looking guitar.
your opening solo is so amazing and so this beautiful guitar. yeah perfect in tone and look.
Just glad I made my last order before this video 😆 well worth the wait, and the flamed maple back is always a pleasure to look at.
Absolutely stunning guitar!
What a lovely looking guitar sounds great as well . Looks better than a high end PRS
Definitely my cup of tea looks wise, have to feel it to see how it plays / and if I can make it sound as good as it looks.
My goodness! What an amazing looking and sounding guitar!!!
I was on their website. Beautiful guitars in high quality... I really like the work on all the details. These are just wonderful guitars... I put a red guitar on my wish list, it's the first model on their website...

Fantastica chitarra, bravo Luigi! 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Beautiful guitar! The carved Nebula is a lovely design. I have two Valentis, but I'm now wondering if I should have gone for the f-hole... wasn't that much of an upcharge as I recall and it looks great.
That is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on your channel!
Gorgeous. Awesome guitar 🎸🎸. Clean tones were my Favorite
Cool guitar Daryl. Was the back track Elevated Jams?
I thought so. That guy pumps out tracks almost every day it seems. I practice to his tracks exclusively.
The neck pickup on Clean is gorgeous.
thank you very much! is my favourite too!
While I'm not a fan of the gold hardware and the little bit garish top finish, I can most certainly appreciate the build and the quality and the details. And I love that body wood, and it's a nice headstock shape. That's quite a nice guitar!
I’m not a fan of gold either. Bronze would be much better choice I think but that’s personal taste.
Beautiful even f holes finish was incredible.
Kind of unrelated to this particular video but what would be a good pick up set up on a telecaster to play some country/rock? I play a lot of keith urban stuff! Thanks in advance! Love the videos!
Classy, top notch, jaw dropping instrument, oh and it sounds as amazing, as it looks. Congrats, cheers.
I can’t sleep now
Very nice guitar DB! Sweet cleans!

I agree, beautiful
Beautiful from every angle .....
That's gorgeous
P90s with a whammy bar, nice. Black limba is from the same tree as Korina, or white limba. One of them is just the heartwood from the tree. Waiting on a Warmoth body that’s black limba with a quilted maple top (first time trying them out.)
when are you going to do a Mike Lull guitar?
Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful! Is a thicker guitar better or worse for a beginner?
Nice review.
Talk about "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"; Valenti's website doesn't even have prices. That thing is stunningly gorgeous though, no doubt worth it if you *can* afford it.
Это шедевр !!! Очень красивая и звучит прекрасно !
Awesome guitar, thanks for showing it.
Just wow.
Sheer Perfection! This instrument leaves me speechless.
Thanks Darrell. I like your videos.
Beautiful guitar but I couldn't find a price on their website!?
If that were my guitar I'd put a parallel/series switch to get a humbucking tone out of it too 👌
A masterpiece in my eyes. 👍❤️👍
Wonderful skilled boutique builder producing a gorgeous instrument not just for the showroom garage but also can take it out for a tour, in the grand Italian tradition. P90s are a great choice, but are they noiseless cause they sounded pretty bell like yet with no hum?
If you have a very good wiring and pickup built, Hum is minimal ;) thank you!
Another great video.
When you get around to doing another affordable guitar video. An interesting brand would be Volgoa. Seen some good and some bad reviews. Would be interesting to get your opinion.
What a gem!🙏🏻
Amazing!
I'm going straight to Valenti's website!
Damn. Incredible craftsmanship. The heel joint was perfection. Not sure why more wouldn’t do flush back plates. Seems like a no brainer feature. Be cooler carbon fiber though. Trick bits make all the difference
Thank you for sharing and showcasing small builders. I’m completely over the quality control issues and courtroom drama from the usual suspects.
Lovely instrument. Do you know what nut width it has and what kind of neck shape does it have? So tempted to order my first custom guitar from Valenti, they look and sound amazing.
A beautiful instrument, but I would never be able to afford anything like this. True Unobtainium.
Stunning!🎸🎸
It sounds great too!
I presume this telegram thing is a scam, which is a shame as I would love that guitar like one of my children!
I’m lucky enough to own a Valenti Tanos (telecaster) semi hollow with a maple top and black limba body. It is a gorgeous guitar. I went for a P90 neck and split humbucker bridge. It is a phenomenal guitar. His work is absolutely first-rate. ❤️

There's some highfalutin voluten bro!! ")
I...I ahh...took it too far didn't I?
I'm so ashamed...sniff...sniff ")
Seriously sweet guitar!!
Jack ~'()'~

Wow what a beautiful build Luigi doesn't f**k around! Enjoy this work of art that happens to be a guitar.
Gorgeous axe indeed. And Daryl, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone pronounce "NAMM" that way. XD :P
Wowzer
Winner.
How is this one compared to the Valiant? How is the buffalo horn compared to that brass nut?
Are you selling it or keeping?
Pricing seem very competitive with high end prs and Gibson. In some cases more affordable than custom prs and Gibson but having what appears to be superior quality. Beautiful instrument indeed.
Thank you very much! yes, you are correct on everything!
Sweet guitar.
Nice to hear some more heart felt stuff
When the instrument becomes the art.
Killer guitar. C'mon Lotto Max!!
You should go local and try a Palermo or a caperelli.
Goodness gracious ... What a beauty
Hey Darrell,
Can I make a request for you to review a Schecter Solo-II SLS Elite Evil Twin? No videos on it. Would be grateful to see you demo it and explain. No really any videos about it online.
Thanks!
👍
I hope someday I will be competitors with PRS Ibanez and Fenders lol
L U I G I !!!!!!
I probably would have guessed that Luigi was/is Italian if given one guess.
Nice guitar. Italian style.
