Valley Arts Custom Pro made for and used by Christopher Cross - £5500

ValleyPro89

Up for grabs in my beloved Valley Arts Custom Pro made for and used by Christopher Cross!!

This is a one off opportunity to own a famous Valley Arts guitar, which is also in the beautiful fireburst finish and has 1 piece flamed maple body! (You can't get those anymore)

The guitars serial number is VA0119 and was made in 1985 in Studio City which is VA's golden era!
The guitar is all original and has Christopher Crosses name engraved on the neck plate

I am more after for trades than selling it really, I am after another Valley Arts or possible a Jim Burst James Tyler.

Please contact me for a shipping quote, pickup preferred though.

It does have a few marks, but nothing major.

Thanks

(Finally got the images uploaded Lol)

@ValleyPro89 If your using a mobile, press and hold on the image in Imgur and select copy link. On the advert click on the page icon above the text box, it’s next to the smiley. Paste the link and then press space - this last little hit causes the hyperlink to work and the image should appear.

What a dream guitar I love these, I was hoping it would be the same color style as ones I saw Steve lukather with and it was. I think these are some of the best guitars of the 80s . Sincere good luck with the sale it’s absolutely beautiful

I didn’t think he was just an amazing songwriter, but that’s because I’ve never heard of him until this post - though I know one or two tracks now that I’ve looked him up  

Nice guitar and back-story, GLWTS
