Merrill C-18 "The Tree" 2001, Natural

Here’s a true gem from 2001: the Merrill C-18, a flatpicker’s dream that’s as powerful as it is beautiful. Built with an Adirondack spruce top and stunning figured mahogany from the legendary "Tree," this guitar is modeled closely after a Martin D-18, but with its own unique voice. Its tone is full, loud, and rich across the fretboard, making it perfect for flatpicking, while a delicate balance ensures it also shines for fingerstyle playing. Over the years, this well-loved instrument has picked up a bit of character, showing some cosmetic wear. It’s had a neck reset, a refret, and a new bridge and nut—all of which contribute to its flawless playability and incredible sound today. Comes with a hardshell case to keep it safe and ready for many more years of music.
