Up for sale is this unique and innovative Mercury Head from local New York City builder B-Way Guitars.

B-Way Guitars designed the Mercury Head to be an ergonomic, road-worthy guitar with a unique, modern twist. You’ll see some components that look familiar, but you’ll also see some features that make the Mercury Head more reliable and better playing than even other high-end guitars costing twice as much.

Take a look at the side of the fretboard. Notice how the fret tangs are completely hidden? They use precision-cut pocketed fret slots, resulting in a more rigid neck and a smoother feel for the player. No more ridges or jutting fret ends!

The neck pocket uses mated neck and body curves to keep the neck absolutely still in the neck pocket. And they use heavy-duty machine bolts and threaded inserts to join the neck to the body, creating a tighter and more serviceable joint than the typical four wood screws. No more need for chiropractic adjustments on your neck, and no more worries about your tuning being bumped out of whack!

The cutaway in the rear of the guitar allows it to be played in a variety of positions without any stress on your fretting hand, including classical-style.
