This is a special Mervyn Davis Smoothtalker Jazz Nylon String. His SNJ1/S. It features a short scale for easy touch and reach, a strong attack from the unique soundboard design and is outfitted with a RMC MIDI pickup as well as a piezo pickup. With these appointments this is a great Crossover Nylon String gigging guitar for Jazz, Brazilian, Pop/Rock and much more. The pickup allows for 6 separate MIDI Channels so you can trigger lots of sounds. It also has the onboard Poly-Drive IV preamp and control array.
While these may look untraditional, the sound is top notch. The idea behind the design is that it allows for a very thin top, which combined with very stiff sides, makes for wonderful projection. This is a strong guitar, with great focus and clarity. The short scale is a dream, and tension remains solid. The pickup is perhaps the finest MIDI system available. Great live Nylon String Hybrid Crossover. 
This is my favorite of the Merlyn Davis Smoothtalker series. The combination of nylon strings with a couple of great pickup systems makes this a fantastic instrument for live performance. The regular pickup sounds great and the RMC system can be used to assign each string to a different channel for stereo effects or simply more EQ control. | Scale Length | 24 in |
