I’ll get straight to the point: the Mercury is one of the best guitars I have ever played. I had seen video after video telling me that Valiant made great guitars, but even after placing an order for one I don’t think I understood just how good these are. The finish is beautifully done. The playability is outstanding. The build quality is way above and beyond the standards I see from other high-end guitar brands. I have other custom shop guitars that honestly aren’t even close in quality. There is clearly passion in these builds and attention to detail that you just won’t find very often anymore.

If that isn’t enough, let me add that the customer service is some of the best I have ever experienced from a guitar brand. They will go to great lengths to make sure that you are happy with what you get. Additionally, they are among the kindest I have ever dealt with.

I’m honestly proud to own a Valiant, and I urge you to support this brand if you have any interest in their guitar models. They are doing incredible work, and I really can’t imagine how they could have done any better on my Mercury. There are very few guitars I would consider perfect, but this in one of them.

I’ve never had a guitar with these praticable wirings, funky/glassy-jazzy-bluesy with only the first two pickups and all kind of rock stuff with the humbucker!! It feels and looks wonderful and contact with Roman is so nice!! Thanks for this great guitar!

I purchased a Jupiter 2nd hand as an impulse buy in 2021. I was so impressed that I had to have my own custom. Then I had to have another! I plan on getting many more! Thank you Valiant for building the best guitars I’ve ever played!

I just picked my Jupiter. I was worried at first bc there was no protection between the box and case. Guitar and case arrived perfect. Holy shit guys. Flamed maple binding was a surprise, outstanding paint job and colors. Feels, plays, and sounds phenomenal. Can not be happier.

Only thing was there wasn’t a tool for trussrod or other adjustments but that doesn’t bother me bc I have plenty.

I just sold my Fender Stratocaster Ultra to a friend that has been wanting it bc of this guitar.

I can’t wait to see the Smith. If that is your base product I can’t imagine the quality on your high end. Bravo Gents!!

It is a fantastic guitar, as well built as guitar can be built!

The guitar was exactly what I expected based on Phillip McKnight’s video. It was well built and the fretwork was immaculate. I can even bend the high note on the fret that has the truss rod adjuster with no issues. Putting the truss rod on the fret-board like that was a cool idea, I had never seen that before. No complaints and excellent work!

I’ve got a Mini Bass and I just love it! Simply fantastic! So easy to play the little beast. Love every thing about it. Color is super nice. The pickups give such a variety. Tone control is great also. Second day and loving it even more!

Thank you very much for your great instrument – it’s a real pleasure to play.

Best wishes for you, your valiant country and your business!

Got the guitar and it looks great! I’ve been sick all week so I’ve only played it for a couple of hours but it’s clearly an amazing instrument.

The guitar arrived this morning… I have 7 or 8 guitars currently in my collection, all either Gibsons or Fenders, and this beautiful instrument that you built for me blows ALL of them away! I am so happy with it, the quality and craftsmanship is unbelievable!! You definitely have a repeat customer here!

I received the guitar today and I love it. I took it out of the box and it was damn near in tune. Feels and sounds great! I took it to band practice tonight and didn’t even do a set up to my liking. It did great! It is everything I like about my other Jupiter and then some! With extra mojo! It is the perfect guitar for me thank you. I like it so much that I am going to buy a nice camera this week and this weekend get some nice pictures to post and try to make my first youtube video with it since there are not a lot of videos yet

Thanks again!

Thank you, Valiant Guitars, for this beautiful Jupiter art guitar. Not only is it a wonderful show piece, it also plays and sounds great! Top quality components and craftsmanship, I will be enjoying it for many years to come!!

I love my Jupiter. The tone knob and volume knobs are great, and I get so many different tones just using those two knobs. The neck feels so good, and I love the pickups.

This Jupiter is the best guitar I’ve ever played. It is absolutely amazing and plays great! Thank you so much for all your help with everything!

The guitar is phenomenal. I couldn’t be more impressed. I’ve already been talking it up with my guitar buddies.

I communicated with Igor and later Roman about my desire to purchase their Soothsayer model. Igor and Roman were both very friendly and helpful ( which is what i have found with most people in Ukraine, Very friendly ) We decided to go with a blue stain on the rear of the body and my choice of Bare knuckle Holy Diver Pickups in Orange//Black which do not disappoint on this Afterglow finished Soothsayer. The guitar was packed very well and shipped quickly from war torn Ukraine. At first glance when opening the case, i was blown away at the finish and feel of the Soothsayer. The fit and finish is second to none. Their Duralumin made rear covers and knobs are great along with their bell brass adjustable nut. The maple fretboard inlays are perfect and look amazing. The electronics are first rate. The use of bare Knuckle pickups are just icing on the cake. The guitar fits in the case like a glove and is also of high quality. I have seen other valiant models on Youtube channels and it looks as though valiant is determined to make only the finest quality guitars you can get. The quality, fit and finish from Valiant is at a level most guitar manufacturers and builders should strive for. It’s that good. I love it so much i am currently talking to Valiant about another Soothsayer build with a few tweaks. I am looking forward to talking to my new friends at Valiant about my new build and can suggest if you are looking at a Guitar from Valiant, don’t hesitate, they are exceptional. You don’t have to take my word for it, search Valiant guitars on Youtube, i’m not the only person who loves valiant guitars. Peace for Ukraine…..

I won this guitar in Valiants charity raffle, and I have never played such a flawless instrument before. The guitars neck, frets, paint, and beautiful wood looks even better in person than it does in photos, and it plays even better than it looks. The bareknuckle pickups deliver unrivaled clarity, and the body resonates just right while you sit with the guitar. Valiant’s service is excellent, and they even sent me a little neck cradle a year after i got the guitar (even though I paid close to nothing for it, due to me winning the raffle). This is the best instrument ive ever played, and I hope to grow my collection of Valiant guitars in the future

“I’ve ordered a custom Soothsayer with a bunch of uncommon specs, such as a scalloped neck, coat of arms of Ukraine as an inlay, banana headstock, etc. And Valiant made everything perfectly. Awesome job, awesome service. Many thanks to Roman who solved one our problem. Many thanks to luthier and the whole team, who managed their work despite the fact of russian aggression.

I must say, that this guitar will take its a well-deserved place among my Gibson LPC, Fender CS, and other great world-known guitars! Glory to Ukraine and its builders!

Thank you very much.”

The guitar came the other day, safe and sound. I haven’t had time to truly play it yet, but it looks and sounds fantastic so far.

I purchased this guitar at the stroke of 5pm on the final day of the guitar show in Birmingham (UK) just as the show was closing down. Having played almost every guitar available at the show, I can honestly say this was the best I put my hands on. From the smallest detail everything about this guitar is spot on. A true masterclass in precision engineering sets the Valiant guitars apart and at this price point an absolute bargain with little competition. The USA equivalents are almost twice the price! Well done Valiant and thank you so much for such a beautiful Guitar.

I am very happy with the guitar. It plays like a dream!

I got the certificate, shirt, and cradle in the mail. I was very blown away by the cradle. It was a nice touch.

The shirt was right on time. I was able to wear it out to a show where I met Jakob Dylan from the Wallflowers. Thank you again for a kick ass shirt and guitar!

That guitar would be nice to add to the collection here in the US,go Ukraine!

When my Valiant Jupiter White Milk guitar arrived (swift dispatch from Ukraine), it was a little like that scene in Pulp Fiction where the lead characters open a mysterious briefcase and they get engulfed in light. I also heard the angels sing. The craftsmanship and detail on this guitar are exquisite and it plays as good as it looks. Kudos also to their top-notch customer service. Igor answered all my emails so promptly that I have to wonder if he ever sleeps. Well done, guys!

Top quality instrument. Not a single flaw. Plays and sounds amazing. First class service prior to, during and after purchase. Shipped and received faster than expected. Recommend this company to any and all. Thanks Igor and all involved.

Fantastic craftmanship, rock solid built! The nut, and the tremolo system works really really great! Modern and superb playability!!! so happy to try one out and every guitar player should try!

Phenomenal guitar!!!if you love guitars you owe it to yourself to try them out…thank you Valiant guitars!!!truly a class act!
