A guidewire has a distal-most end portion that retains its desired shape. The guidewire includes a first brazing member joining a distal end of a core shaft to a distal end of an outer coil, and a second brazing member provided adjacent to and on a proximal side of the first brazing member. The melting point of the first brazing member is higher than the melting point of the second brazing member. As a result, deformation of the first brazing member due to a heat produced during formation of the second brazing member is prevented or minimized.
