Description: 

The Washburn Mercury MG401 is an import Washburn guitar of the Mercury series. It features an alder body with a bookmatched ash top, 24 frets a HSS pickup configuration. The large consensus is that Washburn imports of this particular period are made in Korea. But some internet sources say that some were made in Japan and Indonesia too.  If someone knows more about this particular model. I'm open for input.

  • Washburn 511S Single coil
