Valiant Guitars is a high-end brand based in Ukraine.
The founders, the Gavrilenko brothers, have over 30 years of guitar-making experience, but they continue to explore new possibilities without losing their passion.
Vadim and Dima are both musicians, playing bass and guitar, respectively.
As such, they continually seek out and improve their respective styles from a musician's perspective.
Many parts, such as bridges, saddles, and nuts, are handcrafted by the brothers themselves.
This ensures that their products are faithful to the brand's concept and are uncompromising.
The two brothers continue to evolve the history of guitar craft that began with their father, and the brand is constantly evolving.
This model, the Mercury, combines offset guitar design with the traditional S-style.
While respecting the traditions of classic models, it has been updated with the highest specifications and carefully selected hardware, making it truly cutting-edge.
The body is made of European alder.
This guitar boasts a one-of-a-kind body shape with a unique design not found on other models.
The olive body color, acrylic pickguard, duralumin fins, and matching headstock combine to create a cool look.
The neck is made of quarter-grained hard-rock maple.
Hard-rock maple is known for its extremely hardness, and this neck is rare, with only 10-15% of the wood being quarter-grained from a single log.
Compared to flat-grained maple, quarter-grained maple is said to be stronger, more resistant to environmental changes, and more stable.
It is further reinforced with titanium for added strength, ensuring exceptional neck stability and consistently high playability.
The fingerboard is made of rosewood.
Valiant Guitars is known for using only the finest, carefully selected woods for all of its woods, and true to that promise, this model is made of high-grade rosewood with a striking black grain.
The fingerboard has a flat 12-inch radius and jumbo frets, providing modern playability.
This model also features an excellent design, with wheel nuts for neck adjustment recessed into the fingerboard.
The pickups are Valiant's original M80 pickups in an SSH layout.
They are characterized by an extremely balanced and clear sound.
Controls include one volume, one tone, a 3-way toggle switch, and two slide switches.
The slide switches allow the bridge pickup, neck pickup, and middle pickup to function as humbuckers in series, parallel, or single-coil operation.
The versatile SSH layout allows for even deeper sound shaping, resulting in a wide range of tones that you wouldn't expect from a single guitar.
What's more, every combination produces a beautiful sound, which is a major attraction.
I feel this means the sound is already well-balanced acoustically.
The bridge is the original Swift-RS bridge.
This instrument features a meticulous construction, combining aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with bell bronze saddles.
The saddles offer a wide range of adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the intonation even down to B.
The nut is made of an original bell bronze material.
The height is adjustable, allowing for a variety of settings.
The tuning machines are Gotoh locking.
The combination of a hardtail bridge and locking tuning machines provides excellent stability and is suitable for a variety of playing styles.
This is a masterpiece from a strong, legitimate brand that continues to thrive in the beautiful country of Ukraine.
Please give it a try.
