A breathtaking acoustic-electric guitar with rare camphor burl and amplified tone.
The Merida Javelin Beyond Series acoustic-electric guitar offers an unparalleled musical experience. Its camphor burl back and sides produce rich, resonant tones that inspire creativity. The solid spruce top provides crisp highs and balanced lows, while the cutaway body gives you full access to the ebony fingerboard. Whether playing acoustically or amplified, the Javelin delivers exceptional sound.
Resonant Camphor Burl Construction
The camphor burl back and sides are rare and stunning, giving the Javelin a one-of-a-kind beauty. More importantly, camphor burl provides impressively resonant and balanced tone. Its ringing overtones enrich single notes and complex chords alike. You'll delight in the Javelin's ability to convey emotion and bring songs to life.
Solid Spruce Top for Musical Clarity
The solid spruce top complements the camphor burl back and sides beautifully. Spruce produces crisp articulation, clear highs and focused lows. From bright strums to delicate fingerpicking, the spruce top ensures each note rings through with musical clarity and intention. Its responsive nature also means the Javelin's tone will open up and improve over time.
Onboard Electronics Provide Versatility
The Javelin comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone electronics, including an under-saddle pickup and preamp with volume and tone controls. The simple controls make it easy to shape your amplified tone, from natural acoustic sounds to more electric-infused effects. The pickup accurately conveys the Javelin's lush resonance and complex overtones. Whether on stage or recording, the onboard electronics provide tonal versatility and flexibility.
Premium Appointments for Playability
The Javelin's premium appointments enhance its visual appeal and playability. The ebony fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, while the mother-of-pearl inlays provide positional markers. Die-cast tuners keep the Javelin in tune through energetic strumming or nuanced solos. A comfortable armrest lets you play for hours. The Javelin's striking beauty and ergonomic design inspire you to make music.
