Irwin Sparkes needs no introduction. As the excitable frontman of catchy indie/pop sensations The Hoosiers, Irwin was keen to find a guitar that would sound great, could handle rigorous live use, but not be obstructive to his on-stage exploits. "I used to use Dreadnoughts and Jumbos, but i always found they got in my way onstage", he said. 

So, the perfect solution was the Faith Mercury Model, so Irwin now has a Natural Series Mercury with a specially fitted Shadow Nanoflex pickup plus a HiGloss Mercury Electro.
He commented again in his usual style, “Since playing faith acoustic guitars, i play fewer mistakes, more often!”
