I've always loved that guitar. Tom Bresh has the original one, now.

Anything Merle played is cool with me.

and its not even brazillian rosewood....

"Delivered in a hardshell case, each D-28M Merle Travis Commemorative guitar bears an interior label personally signed by Thom Bresh, Bigsby Guitars President Fred Gretsch, and Martin Chairman C.F. Martin IV, and numbered in sequence. Produced in a limited edition of just 100 instruments, the D-28M Merle Travis Commemorative Edition is a great sounding tribute to one of the guitar world's true originals."
