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.
