This 2000 Richard Mermer Classical features a solid cedar top and striking bubinga back and sides, wrapped in a naturally aged finish with beautiful checking that adds character without compromising its clean overall condition. Built as a thinline, it's incredibly comfortable to play, with a slightly slimmer nut width that makes it especially accessible for players coming from steel-string or crossover instruments. Despite the thinner body, it delivers a warm, articulate tone with strong projection and clarity. The built-in pickup system handles amplification with ease, making it a reliable choice for live performance. A thoughtfully built, stage-ready classical with vintage charm and modern playability.
