I have owned the protoype for Rich's Jazzer model for over 10 years.
It was the 7th guitar that Rich built. It is a double cutaway with bearclaw spruce top and Koa back and sides. A passive under the saddle pickup s installed. Tuners are Gotoh and the guitar has 16 frets clear of the body, and 24 frets total.

I have known Richard for many years and have found him to be an expert in his field. I have never needed any repairs, but know he would fix it right if any problem arose.
Overall Rating

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years, and own over 30 guitars. I also have been building guitars for 10 years and my Mermer is the only acoustic I will play beside my own. It still shares the stage with my own guitars and will do so forever. It sound great,plays great, and was built by a master and good friend.
