Valiant Guitars have their origins in a small workshop specializing in custom guitar crafting, founded by two brothers who have been engaged in guitar making for over 30 years.
For most of their lives, the Gavrilenko brothers have served the music community as respected luthiers with a deep understanding of musicians’ needs. Furthermore, being skilled musicians themselves, they were able to complement each other’s skills and create an efficient partnership capable of bringing to life the ideas of even the most demanding musicians.
The older brother, Vadym, is educated as an aerospace engineer. However, the aerospace industry did not gain another talented specialist, but the precision and exactitude characteristic of aerospace engineering found their way into the guitars. Perhaps that’s why the cosmic theme resonates with Valiant’s aesthetics.
Based on the innovation era of the 1950s in the guitar industry and the development of space-age technologies, the double-horned instrument inspired Soothsayer to advance into modern standards. It features a canopy design for the output jack location, a quarter-sawn maple neck available as a standard for all variations, as well as flexible pickup routing configuration which allows to explore wider sonic pallets.
The combination of engineering solutions, precision, meticulously crafted components, and a selective approach to woods and electrical components deliver a high-quality instrument for the needs of 21st-century guitar players at any level.
HIDDEN OUTPUT JACK LOCATION
The concealed output jack location ensures the safe and secure connection of your cable, granting you the freedom to move without any worries.
BELL-BRONZE ADJUSTABLE NUT
Not only does it add a touch of elegance to the instrument’s appearance, but the bell-bronze adjustable nut also serves as a valuable setup tool. It enables precise action adjustments, allowing you to customize the playability according to your personal preferences.
