2008 McPherson 3.5xp Brazilian/Adirondack
Here we have a McPherson 3.5xp crafted from Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce.

This McPherson is all of those and plays beautifully as well. The offset soundhole works very well in their design and offers the player an earful of beautiful tone.

2010 Merrill C-18, Mahogany/Adirondack Spruce
Gone before we could even list it! Jim Merrill packs a punch with this 2010 C-18 Dread. Mahogany and Adirondack, quick and punchy and lively, plays like so much butter–it’s like it’s living and breathing in your arms.

2013 Merrill C-28, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack (Red)
Our square-shoulder sweetheart goes by the name of Merrill C-28, and brings a deadly set of Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce to the party. Played in and opened up since 2013, this dreadnought has good treble overtones, a crisp attack, and an extra dose of clarity in the mids that a lot of dreads seem to lack. Nickel Waverly tuners keep the weight down (to a scant 4lb 7oz), and the defined V neck is comfy to the touch with a bit of shelf space for your thumb to hang on to.
This Jim Merrill dread is a natural choice for the flatpicking Bluegrass player, but it’s got that extra clarity and punch to also work well for acoustic endeavors a little further afield. Really, this guitar nails it on all the points. With it wrapped up in the included Ameritage hardshell case, you won’t have to worry about harm coming its way—but you may have to watch your friends to make sure they don’t snatch this Merrill for themselves.

2005 Merrill C-18 Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
Jim Merrill’s guitars often sound more vintage than vintage guitars themselves, and that’s right out the gate. Imagine what these guitars will sound like once they’ve opened up for a few years! The 2005 C-18 we’ve got here is a golden opportunity to see just how much a contemporary instrument can sound like its long-lost prewar cousin.Built sturdily but to lightweight specs, this C-18 comes with Mahogany back and sides for a clean low-end presence and Adirondack Spruce top for a bright, punchy middle register and attack. Not surprisingly, this Dreadnought is built with the Bluegrass player in mind, but thanks to trebles which are well-balanced and a bottom E string that is tight and expressive, the C-18 performs beautifully for fingerpicking passages, as well as lightning flatpick sessions. Overall, the voice is muscular, full of vim and vigor, and the bottom-end has enough warmth to warm you on the coldest winter nights.

Brand New Michael Kennedy Concert, Crelicam Ebony/Torrefied Sitka Spruce
There are many descriptors and superlatives we could use to describe the guitar wizardry of Michael Kennedy. Put quite simply this guitar is epic. A sound as profound as its appearance, and man oh man is this instrument handsome. Crelicam Ebony for the back and sides, Torrefied Sitka Spruce on top. The back and sides are laminated which not only provides structural stability, but sonic stability as well. Michael’s guitars are powerhouses, and this is in part why. We also have a multiscale setup on this creature, so exploring tunings far and wide will be no hindrance! Take a look at the photos, the video and listen to the audio to fully be immersed in what makes this instrument so special. It speaks for itself.

Brand New Michael Kennedy GC Multiscale, Ziricote/Sinker Cedar
Here’s one you’ll struggle to put down. Logan spec’d out this powerhouse with Michael Kennedy with the goal of landing a resonant, responsive, engrossing multiscale guitar. Clearly, Mike nailed it. The voice is crisp and clear, with bell-like trebles and a resounding bass response. Instant success for fingerstyle. Soaks up C tunings like it was made for it (and it was). We paired a striking set of Ziricote for the back and sides with Sinker Cedar on top, a 26.25-25.5″ multiscale fretboard, beveled bindings, soundport, tornavoz–the works! If you’re looking for a livewire that holds its own in a wide range of tunings and attacks, our latest Michael Kennedy GC simply will not disappoint.
