A classical guitar with rich tone and effortless playability.
The Merida Sonata nylon-string classical acoustic guitar brings together detailed craftsmanship and responsive sound for players who want more from their instrument. Built with a solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this 4/4 classical model produces a clear, vibrant voice that projects easily in small recital spaces or larger halls. The lattice bracing under the soundboard improves the instrument's dynamic range, letting every note ring with focus and warmth. A high-gloss finish highlights the wood grain and protects the guitar for years. With a comfortable C-shaped neck and an ebony fingerboard, the Sonata responds well to expressive touch, making it a strong choice for advanced students or serious classical musicians looking for a reliable instrument for performance and practice.
Lattice Bracing Enhances Projection and Response
The lattice bracing inside the body increases the instrument's ability to project sound while maintaining structural stability. This pattern supports the solid spruce top, allowing it to vibrate more freely. Players notice a quick response and wider dynamic range, especially during technical passages or expressive phrasing. The result is a guitar that captures subtle detail, even in fast or delicate sections, which benefits those performing complex classical repertoire.
Solid Wood Body Produces Rich, Nuanced Tone
Constructed with a solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the classical guitar delivers a full, resonant sound. Spruce gives the instrument clarity and brightness, while rosewood adds warmth and complexity to the tone. Together, these tonewoods provide a balanced voice that suits solo or ensemble work. Each note blends into the next smoothly, so the guitar can handle demanding techniques and extended practice sessions without losing character.
Controls and Setup Prioritize Playability and Precision
The 2.05" bone nut and C-shaped neck profile offer a comfortable platform for precise finger placement, which is critical in classical performance. An ebony fingerboard helps fingers move smoothly, while gold tuning machines with ebony knobs keep strings locked in tune. Strung with Savarez 500CJ strings, the Sonata projects confidently and stays pitch-stable during extended sessions. The unit arrives in a robust hard case, making transport and storage safer for regular performers.
Merida Sonata Delivers Reliable Performance for Discerning Players
Classical guitarists who want a long-lasting and responsive acoustic will appreciate the careful build and thoughtful features of the Sonata. Solid woods, stable hardware and advanced bracing give players the confidence to tackle demanding pieces in lessons, practice, or recitals. With this model, musicians gain an instrument that responds to every touch and stands up to regular use, supporting both growth and performance goals.
