Thank you for your interest in the Valentino
The Valentino a concept guitar instead of a fixed Everett model.

There is no set style , body shape , soundhole configuration , scale length , ...
Each Valentino is built as a unique individual instrument to work with it's interior art theme ,
both aesthetically and tonally .

The featured instrument was built and designed over a 4 year period.
I reserved the number 500 for it and have written a 'coffee table book'
about it's design and construction.

Building Guitar Number 500
~ available - summer 2008 ~

I live with a wonderful artist, and I was fortunate enough to have her paint the interior

.

"The vibrant palette of pinks, reds and whites of the azaleas reflected in the pond offer a serene tranquility.
The luscious greens and browns of the woods provide a sense of earthiness and dynamic life,
not unlike the acoustic guitar which surrounds the painting.
The fact that beautiful music will emanate from the painting fills me with joy. "

This first Valentino is my personal instrument.

The next Valentino is in the design stages.
I am working on a guitar design to surround one of my oil on canvas beach scenes.

by Kent Carlos Everett

I want this painting's energy and aesthetic to reflect in the guitar to be built around it.

~ I am currently searching for the right wood for this guitar. ~

The Valentino can be custom built to your specs :
