"David Merrin is producing some of the finest hand-built guitars in England today. Using only the very best materials available his instruments bear the hallmark of a first class craftsman.

David is not only an exceptional maker but is also a top class player; this puts him in a unique position amongst today's makers as his skill as a player helps him understand just what today's musicians require from their instrument.

As a player and teacher of the guitar for over 30 years I have no hesitation in recommending the guitars of David Merrin as amongst the very best available today."
