Description

This incredible Dowina Merlot is definitely a model to check out if you're looking for an incredibly direct attack and well-balanced tone. The Macacauba is a dense tonewood from Central and South America. It's not the lightest but this means the back and sides give a great structure to make the top thin and heavily projecting.

Hand voiced / tuned by Stan himself with his SPM insignia on the brace.

Our Thoughts

Erika has always been speaking very highly of the sound quality of the Merlot's and I can only agree having experienced them. - Ryan
