Murga and Delaney presented the inaugural guitar to Arlen Roth in June at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville. “This Delaney/Murga guitar is truly
a work of art that I can enjoy on all sensory levels. It's a joy to hold, touch, play and to hear, and is one of the most uniquely beautiful guitars I have
ever seen!” Arlen Roth said yesterday.
After receiving rave reviews from Roth and fielding inquiries from NAMM show attendees, the Delaney/Murga team, with Roth’s blessing, decided to
produce a limited run of the guitar. Only 100 Arlen Roth Signature Guitars will be produced and each will be signed and numbered. They are
currently taking orders for the limited edition leather-wrapped guitar which retails for $2,595.00.
