David Merrin NEW Spruce Indian Rosewood

David is an accomplished player and skilled constructor of classical guitars, and one of the emerging second generation of top flight luthiers.  He is one of only two luthiers in the world whose work is endorsed by Jose and Liam Romanillos.  He produces only a few high quality guitars per year, concentrating on design and craftsmanship of the highest order.  It's interesting that collectors who are reducing the number of their guitars always wish to hold on to a Merrin if they have one.

The guitar has a Spruce top and beautifully book-matched back and sides.  The workmanship is outstanding, from the beautifully crafted V-joint for the headstock, to David's signature rosette and detailed purfling.  Whilst looking superb, the guitar also has excellent tone and volume characteristics emanating from a standard body size and 650mm scale length.  David keeps to a traditional fan-braced design which results in a light guitar which, along with a nut width of 52mm, results in a guitar which not only   is responsive, but also is easy to play.  It is a fine guitar.
