【new】Valiant Guitars / Mercury Olive Gloss #M25055 3.14kg【TONIQ横浜】【price included SHIPPING & IMPORT TAX & VAT】

Valiant Guitars is a high brand based in Ukraine.

The host brothers Gavrilenko have over 30 years of experience in guitar making, but have never lost their passion and continue to explore new things.

Of the brothers, Vadim plays bass and Dima is a musician who also plays guitar.

This is why they continue to explore and improve their respective styles from a musician's point of view.

Many parts, such as the bridge, saddle, and nut, are made by hand.

This makes the product more faithful to the concept of the brand, without any compromises.

The two brothers continue to evolve the history of guitar crafting since their father's time, and the brand is constantly progressing.

This model is the Mercury, a fusion of offset guitar design and traditional S-style.

While respecting the traditions of the classic model, it is updated with top-of-the-line specs and carefully selected hardware, and deserves to be called truly cutting-edge.

The body is made of European Alder.

It has a one-of-a-kind body shape with a unique design not found in other models.

The olive body color, acrylic pickguard, duralumin fins, and matching head finish the cool look.

The neck is quarter-sawn Hard-Rock Maple.

Hard-Rock Maple is known as a very hard wood, and only 10-15% of the wood from a single log can be obtained.

Compared to board-grain maple, quarter-sawn maple is said to be sturdier, more resistant to environmental changes, and more stable.

Reinforced by titanium for extra strength, the neck is very stable and always offers high playability.

The fingerboard is made of Rosewood.

Valiant Guitars is said to use carefully selected top-quality wood for all its woods, and true to their word, high-grade Rosewood with a beautiful black grain is used for this model.

The fretboard R is a flat 12” and jumbo frets are hammered in, making this model modern in terms of playability.

This model also has an excellent design with a wheel nut embedded in the fingerboard for neck adjustment.

The pickups are Valiant's original M80 pickups in SSH layout.

It features a very balanced and clear sound.

Controls include 1 volume, 1 tone, 3-way toggle switch, and 2 slide switches.

This slide switch allows the Bridge, Neck, and Middle pickups to be operated as series, parallel, or single coil as if they were humbuckers.

The SSH layout is highly versatile, but it allows for even deeper sound creation, and the abundant sound variations are so appealing that it is hard to believe that this is just one guitar.

The big appeal of this guitar is that every combination has a beautiful sound.

I feel this means that the sound is already in place in the acoustic part.

The bridge is the original Swift-RS bridge.

It is a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and bell bronze saddles.

Furthermore, the saddle has a wide adjustment range and has a revolutionary structure that allows intonation to be matched even when the saddle is lowered to B.

The nut is equipped with an original nut made of bell bronze material.

The height can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of settings.

The tuning machines are Gotoh locking type.

The combination of the hardtail bridge and locking tuning machine provides a very stable feel and fits a variety of playing styles.

This is a gem of a legitimate and powerful brand that continues to grow in the beautiful country of Ukraine.

Please give it a try.
