Hello and welcome. We are the first website dedicated to pre-Gibson, pre-Samick Valley Arts Guitars. Again, we need to get this out of the way to clear up any confusion: this site is dedicated to pre-Gibson, pre-Samick Valley Arts Guitars. So when we say 'VA's', 'Valley Arts', etc. it's a given we mean pre-Gibson, pre-Samick Valley Arts Guitars unless otherwise stated. Nothing against Gibson or Samick, we just prefer vintage Valley Arts prior to being sold to Samick in 1992 and the tradmark being sold to Gibson most recently. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

*** HERE'S THE LATEST: March 2008***

Once again, there are just way too many new entries to list so please visit the registry and look for the 'new' flag to see the latest.
