Valhalla Guitar

'My dad built over 30 guitars. He was really proud of this one...'

Valhalla '51 T Relic 'Grandma'

'This guitar has a particular 'sweetness' about it that I've not found in many other instruments. Maybe it's the 80-year-old redwood body, or maybe the Fenix on the pickguard. Regardless, it's a perfect balance of warmth and sparkle. Amazing guitar all around. And the neck is very comfy !'
