Review: Great Instrument - Love my Merlin! Super easy to play. Plenty of videos on YouTube to learn different tuning, chords, and full songs.
Review: Very Nice - This is simply an amazing sounding instrument. I was surprised when I opened the box and picked the Merlin up out of the box, it is extremely light weight. When I strummed the strings I couldn't believe that this size of a instrument could have such a loud sound. The strings were very close to already being tuned just a little twist of the peg heads and it was tuned and ready to play. It holds tune very well. It is made very well. The neck is smooth and your fretting hand slides easily. It's fun to play because just about anything you do sounds good. I think anyone would enjoy playing the Merlin.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the scake length of this instrument?**
A: Merlin M4 nut to bridge on mine is 21 inches.  7 frets full octave with no blues fret. I put in a temporary blues fret at 5-1/2 with a cutdown paper clip and some bandage tape. Got to look out for string height at that position though so you don't mess up the whole note that lives at that spot.

**Q: How do you know if your Merlin is DAD or G tuning? i bought mine just about the time when Seagull changed it.**
A: The Merlin will have heavier (wound) strings - at least three. This is because the G tuning is lower. If your strings are more like those on a guitar, and your bass string is the only wound string, you have a dadd-type Merlin. Also, I believe that only the mahogany ones are G; I haven't seen on that was spruce.

**Q: What is the difference between the SG and the M4 models?**
A: Sg is spruce and M4 is mahogany.

**Q: What is the neck width across where the nut is ?**
A: I just got it out and measured it.  It's 1 1/4".  James.

I am extremely satisfied with my Merlin. It is very well made. I love the unique sound it offers. I have been playing ,and enjoying it every day, it has been a great addition to my collection. The only downside was the quality of the factory installed strings which I quickly replaced.
