The 2003 Merrill C-18 is a handcrafted dreadnought built by Jim Merrill, inspired by pre-war Martin D-18s. It features an Adirondack spruce top and mahogany back and sides, delivering a warm, articulate tone with excellent projection. With a 25.4" scale length, 1.75" nut width, and 2.25" string spacing, it offers comfortable playability. This particular guitar has had a minor rim crack repaired and has had the finish sanded off of the neck, but otherwise remains in excellent original condition. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a hardshell case.
