The Mercury Head is an ergonomic, road-worthy guitar with a unique twist.


We use precision-cut pocketed fret slots, resulting in a smoother feel for the player, with no ridges or jutting fret ends.


Heavy-duty machine bolts and threaded inserts join the neck to the body, creating a stronger, more serviceable joint than the traditional four wood screws.


The lower bout cutaway lets you play the Mercury Head in a variety of positions without stress on your fretting hand, including classical-style.
