MERVYN DAVIS GUITARS
Centuries ago, the guitar's earliest ancestors where built by the Moors of North Africa. Now, once again, here in the Cradle of Humankind, these guitars reflect the spirit and aesthetic of the Motherland where the wood grows that they are built from.
SmoothTalkers share the following characteristic tonal features:
- Brightness (The sound is strongly flavoured by the presence of upper partials)
- Loudness (Characteristically even over the whole fingerboard)
- Excellent note separation (Great for counterpoint and extended chords)
- Reduced feedback (Suitable for high volume live performances)
- Great recordability (Sound engineers love these guitars)
