Maple neck. Swamp ash body. Gibson mini-humbucker, Duncan Hot Stack, and Duncan vintage lead stack pickups.

Brent's personal guitar is a classic, customized player's instrument, which is exactly the kind of guitar that Valley Arts specializes in. The Valley Arts Brent Mason Signature is the ultimate player's guitar, designed by the ultimate player.

As a professional guitarist, Brent Mason has demonstrated his virtuosity on sessions with an A-list of country and pop stars including Alabama, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Aaron Neville, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis and Neil Diamond. He is a multiple winner of both the Country Music Association's Musician of the Year and the Academy of Country Music's Guitarist of the Year awards.

"Been a full time player for 37 years. This guitar has it all!!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This too would be a 10 if Gibson supported it as they should.
Sound
I play professionally every day. Never even seen one of these until about two month ago. Now its my go to guitar. Great neck=Great sound. Pups are super. I'm looking for another to purchase now for back-up.
Features
Materials and components are top shelf.
Ease of Use
Articulates better than any guitar I've ever has. I currently own 37 top of the line guitars and I can't remember all the ones I have sold or traded.
Quality
As good as it gets.
Value
I'd say worth every cent.
Manufacturer Support
I guess Gibson is the co. owning this design now but they do not support this guitar at all.
The Wow Factor
Some think the headstock is fugly but I love it. Sets it apart from the rest as it should be.
