Merrill & Company, known worldwide for fine handmade vintage-quality guitars, is creating a work of art for the Sea Level Singer/Songwriter Festival. This custom-built guitar is made of rare curly spalted mango Hawaii (think koa on steroids) on the back and sides, ancient redwood top, Adirondack spruce braces, custom hand-carved mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. All of this on top of the “tone to the bone” sound that has made Merrill Guitars famous. This one-of-a-kind instrument would retail for $9995, but your opportunity to own it is a $10 donation to Tidewater Arts Outreach. Only 1,500 opportunities will be sold. And, they make wonderful holiday gift. The winner will be announced during the festival in April.
