PETTER ERICSON STAKEE
Alberta Cross frontman, Petter Ericson Stakee, chose a Baby Blue Custom with firebird pickups and a Bigsby for his latest European tour. In late 2024, he played various West Valleys to record his charged and Grungy new album. Stakee has toured with Them Crooked Vultures, Neil Young and Black Rebel Motorcycle.
MATT OWENS
Matt Owens, founding member of Noah and the Whale with over one million album sales in the UK, chose a West Valley as his main instrument while recording his third solo studio album.
His British Racing Green Indiana Classic features an in-house wound, high-output split humbucker at the bridge paired with a smooth Firebird pickup at the neck. Finished with full gold hardware and an AAA flame maple neck, it is a distinctive, stage-ready instrument built to stand out.
