M-5
M-26
Following in the footsteps of the M-2, the M-5 follows the same simple, focused design, but with an emphasis on a more contemporary sound. The solid spruce top provides greater projection than its cedar counterpart, and a more trebleorientated tone overall. This extra volume is ideal for the new player, giving maximum output for minimum effort, and is also perfect for the player new to fingerstyle guitar.
This is the top of Farida’s parlour range, and a very special guitar indeed.
The more precise tone of the spruce makes it great for getting heard when sitting in with other instruments, perfect in a small acoustic group, or in a teaching environment. The M-5 is a very versatile little guitar indeed, with the price making it available to everyone from younger learners looking for a real treat to seasoned players looking for a great second guitar.

A tribute to the sound of the Mississippi Delta, the M-26 is modelled on the original blues guitar, arguably the single most influential instrument in the history of modern music. The solid Canadian red cedar soundboard is set on stunning pao ferro back and sides, providing the superb warm tone of the M-2, but with a touch more bass response. The detailed finishing on this model is evidence of the care taken in the design and construction of the instrument. The top is edged in flame mahogany binding, the sound hole is inlaid with beautiful green abalone inlay, and everything from the bone nut to the select rosewood fretboard is of the highest possible quality.
