Hey guys, i found an old picture.. this is me playing a Merrill Guitar. This guy builds acoustics that would blow you away.. they are built to specs of pre-war martins, and man, are they nice.. i got to play this and a bunch of vintage martins back to back, and the tone of this guitar was awesome!!! i was about to order myself one, untill i was turned on to thorns, and the electric guitar.. hopefully someday i will buy one.. but i havent been flatpicking too much lately..

I would love to hear one. Looks like Merrill has a good thing going. Man, the acoustics run even higher than the electrics.
Hard to say what is the best though as it is so subjective. I know if I was going to buy another acoustic I would be jonesing for a James Olson "James Taylor Signature" model. Of course that means over $10,000 and more than a year wait time. But I think I covered the acoustic jones last year when my local pusher got a McPherson in stock with Adirondack Red Spruce top and Quilted Maple sides and back. Tone baby. Oh yeah. Looks a bit like this one though this has a different top (I think Engleman Spruce). www.mcphersonguitars.com/activea.asp?CompID=23&btnSubmit=ByFileCategoryID&cboApplicationID=23&cboFileCategoryID=973 |

Cool, e.
I really love acoustics, but at the moment I only have one: my Taylor 612-CE. I really like it, but it doesn't stop me from acoustic G.A.S. every now and then. Other instruments have been keeping that in check, but you never can tell when it'll bubble over. |
