Player Reviews:
"We see very few Merrill guitars and everybody loves them. This one has a true vintage tone and feel, but all the modern quality and playability. The Mahogany/Adirondack voice is throaty and powerful. Perfect for leads or chord work. Don't miss this fine Merrill guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has a nice warm, punchy tone and lots of power. A dreadnought is the perfect all-purpose instrument that can be used for any style of acoustic playing.
" - Al Petteway
