Resonant solid mahogany acoustic-electric with Fishman electronics for amplified performance.
The Merida C15CS Classic Series Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar provides you with resonant tone and effortless playability. Featuring a solid mahogany top and sapele back and sides, this finely crafted guitar produces full, balanced sound. Equipped with a Fishman ISY-201 pickup system and an electronic tuner, the C15CS gives you amplified acoustic tone on demand. Its comfortable mahogany neck and elegant Grand Concert body are designed for endless hours of playing enjoyment.
Resonant Tonewoods Shape Your Sound
The solid mahogany top on the C15CS resonates freely to generate rich, complex tone. Mahogany produces focused midrange, warm lows and sweet highs. Sapele back and sides provide tonal balance, enhancing the mahogany top. Together, these tonewoods create an instrument capable of both delicate fingerpicking and powerful strumming. The tight-grained, lightweight construction also contributes to the C15CS's natural resonance and sustain.
Fishman Electronics Amplify Your Acoustic Tone
The Fishman ISY-201 pickup system gives you amplified acoustic tone when you need it. Simply plug into an amplifier or PA system to share your C15CS's voice with audiences. Onboard controls allow you to shape the pickup's tone to match your playing style. An electronic tuner ensures you're always in tune, even onstage under variable conditions. The preamp's discreet design maintains the guitar's natural aesthetic.
Play for Hours in Comfort
The C15CS's mahogany neck and fingerboard feel smooth and familiar under your fingers. Its gentle C-shaped profile fits comfortably in your hand. Medium gauge frets spaced for acoustic playing let you bend and slide with ease. A 25.5" scale length and wider nut provide ample space for complex fingerpicking patterns. Overall, the C15CS's ergonomic design minimizes fatigue so you can keep playing song after song.
Premium Appointments Complete the Package
With its elegant appointments and padded gig bag, the C15CS is ready to inspire you anywhere. Its pearl dot inlays, polished bridge pins and chrome tuners demonstrate Merida's attention to detail. The padded gig bag protects your investment and makes the guitar easy to transport. For songwriters and musicians who appreciate craftsmanship, the Merida C15CS Classic Series Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar is an excellent choice.
