Merlin is now M4,

As a writer, I have to wonder what half-illiterate fool wrote the ad copy, as well as who was responsible for copy-editing and decided to take a nap rather than do his/her job. This is incredibly poor English:

INTRODUCING THE M4, A REVOLUTIONARY INSTRUMENT, INSPIRED BY THE DULCIMER MAKING THE OFTEN DIFFICULT TASK OF LEARNING TO PLAY GUITAR, THAT MUCH EASIER. PEOPLE YOUNG AND ALL OF ALL AGES WILL GET A KICK OUT OF PICKING THIS INSTRUMENT UP AND STRUMMING ALONG FOR THE FIRST TIME. WITH THE ABILITY TO LEARN BASIC CHORDS AND POP SONGS AT YOUR OWN RHYTHM, THE M4 MAKES LEARNING TO PLAY GUITAR SUPER FUN AND HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!

"...a revolutionary instrument, inspired by the dulcimer making the often difficult talk of learning to play guitar, that much easier..."  Dear Godin ad-copy writer, did you ever learn how to properly use and place commas? Grammatically, that should be "...a revolutionary instrument inspired by the dulcimer, making the often difficult task of learning to play guitar that much easier..."  And we won't even talk about the fact the a dulcimer is not a guitar, and the chording you learn on one doesn't carry over to the other.

"People young and all of all ages..."?  You mean something like: "People of all ages, young and old..."?

"...the ability to learn basic chords and pop songs at your own rhythm..."?  At your own rhythm?  Huh? Do you mean "at your own pace" or something like that? That simply makes no sense.

"...the M4 makes learning to play guitar super fun and highly addictive."  The M4 itself might be "super fun and highly addictive" (though those are both hyperbolic marketing clichés), but as I said above, you can't first learn how to play the M4, then grab an actual six-string guitar and immediately start playing. They're different instruments with different tunings and different chord structures.

Jeez! What a terrible, terrible ad!

A native English speaker (or at least some is who is very comfortable with both languages) really needs to go over the copy.

Also, what's up with putting the dollar sign AFTER the amount? 1,150$

that's french numbering..they also use a comma instead of period for cents

When has Seagull NOT had a lousy website? Remember when they changed the scale length to 25.5 on the dreads, but it still said 24.75 on the website forever?

A couple I know was one of the first to post a Norwegian Wood cover with a Merlin.

I recall posting alternatives to the Merlin that were more dulcimer like. Unfortunately , not something  i saved form old site.
strumstick was one. but its chromatic
