Electrifying Mexican quartet Mana is the world’s biggest Latin rock band, thanks in no small part to the masterful guitar work of Sergio Vallin. Fender and Vallin have now collaborated closely on the Sergio Vallin Signature model, one of the most distinctive instruments in the Fender Artist series.
With a brand-new offset body shape, tonally versatile HSS pickup layout with special switching, and other special appointments, it’s a bold new Fender design loaded with pure Vallin sound, personality and playability.

FSV Pickup Combination
A powerful combination of single-coil middle and neck pickups and humbucking bridge pickup not only offers a wide range of tones, but also serves as a testament to the meticulous efforts in recreating Vallin's beefy rock sound.
Five-Way Rotary Switching
The guitar's five-way rotary switch offers convenient and versatile pickup switching and blending options, along with a subtle dose of sleek style.
