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. Jim’s approach is to recreate the prewar ideals in modern form, and to that end we’ve got Adirondack Spruce on top, 18-style appointments, and a sub-four pounds playing weight. This cannon sings.

Jim Merrill is known for building great, powerful prewar style guitars that are pretty darn close to a real 1937. This one is resonant and powerful and rattles your body as you play. The good stuff. 
The low E is a force of nature, and frankly the rest of the strings are right up there too. This C-18 takes the classic Hog/Adi combo and cranks it to 11. Please, buy this one so I'm no longer tempted. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
