Mercury 61 WD — A Voice That Breathes Further

The Mercury 61 WD is crafted for discerning players who seek clarity, depth, and subtle expression.


Building on the philosophy of the Mercury 60 WD, it brings the same refined, hand-responsive voice—but with a touch more air and transparency in the upper registers, revealing every harmonic shimmer with elegance.

This is not a louder pickup.
It’s a finer, more open one.


Nuance and Presence, Expanded

Through a clean or lightly driven amp, the 61 WD responds immediately to your touch.
Soft playing reveals delicate overtones and harmonic detail; stronger attack still emphasizes body and midrange presence, without overpowering the tone.

Compared to the 60 WD, the 61 WD feels slightly more luminous in the high frequencies—like opening a window in a familiar room.


The low end remains warm and supportive, while the midrange continues to carry the guitar’s heart, ensuring every chord and note is expressive and alive.


A Tone That Rewards Attention

Body & Low-Mid — rich, resonant, and musical, grounding the tone with natural weight

Midrange — expressive, detailed, and dynamic, preserving the guitar’s soulful character

High End — more open than the 60 WD, adding clarity and subtle shimmer without harshness


Slow, intricate picking brings the subtleties to life, while stronger attack maintains musical authority.


Every gesture shapes the tone, and every note carries the refined fingerprint of your playing.


For Players Who Listen Closely

The Mercury 61 WD is for musicians who value craftsmanship and nuance.


A pickup that honors the guitar, respects the player, and delivers a voice both rare and expressive—now with a slightly brighter perspective, letting the instrument’s harmonics and airiness shine.


Mercury 61 WD — The same refined touch, with a little more light.
