SmoothTalker

Built by Mervin Davis, South Africa

"The unique SmoothTalker design is the result of an on-going process of intense experimentation that started with the 1988 prototype and it offers some distinctive qualities (Really!). These include:

  • Easy left hand access to the top frets on the fingerboard.
  • Tone that is totally different from anything else.
  • Excellent balance from string to string and note to note.
  • Very loud acoustic sound and huge projection.
  • Highly restricted feedback when plugged in, even at high volume.

The SmoothTalker does not try to outsmart its older brothers, it's simply different. Looks different. Sounds different." - Smoothtalkerguitars.com
