Merce Font Model

Merce Font had been playing one of my 640mm scale guitars for years when she decided to go further — she needed something even shorter. Together we took the leap and developed this 600mm instrument, a scale length that few makers attempt seriously. The result exceeded all expectations, and Merce has played it ever since. The decoration is her own story told in wood: the rosette is drawn from the glass ceiling of the Palau de la Música Catalana, the iconic Modernista concert hall in her hometown — an image recognisable worldwide, rendered here in the soundhole of her guitar.
