Washburn Mercury MG-401 Grover Jackson Design, Transparent Red (Second Hand)

The Washburn Mercury MG-401 is a ‘90s super-strat designed under the guidance of Grover Jackson, offering fast playability, versatile tones and classic Mercury-series styling. Built with an alder body and a bookmatched ash top, it combines clarity and bite with plenty of sustain, while the slim bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard make lead work quick and comfortable.

This model features an HSS pickup configuration with Washburn single coils and humbucker, plus a smooth Wilkinson VS100 vibrato bridge for expressive pitch bends and rock-solid tuning stability. Finished in a striking Transparent Red with a pearloid pickguard and Grover tuners, the MG-401 is a great choice for players who love that ‘90s super-strat vibe with quality hardware and big tonal range.

This item is second hand but still in great working condition. Any obvious marks/blemishes will be visible in photos.
