Mercury Guitars consisted of three people: Linda Delgado, partner Doug Pelton, and employee Norm Devalier. Mercury Guitars focused on the design of the Artemis, El Grande, and Vintage guitar models. Mercury Guitars wanted to provide the player with a point of reference from which to begin (hence the reference to the vintage instrument). The staff at Mercury Guitars hand selected all woods, seeking to use renewable sources while ensuring good resonant qualities. Their finish choice also affirmed their commitment to the environment as they utilized a water based product which was specifically engineered for the guitar industry.
Instruments previously built in Berkeley, CA between 1994 and 2000.
