Thanks to everyone who brought tickets and supported the 6th Annual Sea Level Singer/Songwriter Festival and TAO.

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. This one-of-a-kind instrument would retail for $9,995.

Jim Merrill was featured in the January 2013 issue of Fretboard Journal. Take a look at the video - http://www.fretboardjournal.com/video/emulating-perfect-era-jim-merrill-guitars
