PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep a distal end portion of a guide wire in a desired shape.SOLUTION: In a guide wire 1 having a first brazing part 13a for joining a distal end of a core shaft 11 and a distal end of an outside coil body 12 and a second brazing part 13b that is adjacent to a proximal end side of the first brazing part 13a, a melting point of the first brazing part 13a is set to be higher than that of the second brazing part 13b. Consequently, the deformation of the first brazing part 13a by the heat in forming the second brazing part 13b can be prevented.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
