1995 Merrill OM Rosewood

Those of you who have followed our website over the years will have noticed the instruments we offer from time to time by Charles Merrill. We're always very excited to get our hands on the latest creation from this very talented Ontario luthier, and its very seldom that a pre-owned Merrill shows up. This particular instrument is dated May 1995, and was Merrill's personal instrument until we sold it some six years ago. I remember thinking very highly of the guitar back in 2001, and I guess my ear (or this guitar) hasn't much changed since! It's a rosewood and Sitka OM model, with vintage styling and appointments, and a warm, open, and punchy voice. Tasteful in its simplicity, the guitar features a pink abalone rosette and matching headstock logo and position markers. It is bound in maple, and purfled in multiple layers of ebony and maple veneer. Nickel Waverly tuners with gold bushings (one of Merrill's signature design elements) adorn the headstock, while a hand-cut bevel edge celluloid pickguard accents the top. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, Maccasar ebony headstock overlay, bone nut and saddle, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish with vintage-toned top. The guitar's one-piece neck has a rounded-V profile, with a pronounced center line. 1-11/16" nut, 25.4" scale length.
