The Merida Black Hole Beyond Series acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians an inspiring instrument at an unbeatable value. Its solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides generate a bold, balanced tone ideal for any musical style. The cutaway Grand Auditorium body is comfortable to play and projects sound well. Upgraded electronics ensure you always sound your best whether practicing at home or performing on stage.

All-Solid Wood Construction Resonates

When you strum the first chord on the Black Hole, you'll appreciate the resonant tone of its all-solid wood construction. The solid spruce top freely vibrates, producing crisp highs and open mids. The solid mahogany back and sides add warmth and low-end power. Together, these woods create a dynamic tone that only improves with age and playing time. You'll enjoy the Black Hole's singing sustain and harmonically rich voice.

Cutaway Body Delivers Comfort and Access

The Black Hole's cutaway Grand Auditorium body provides comfortable contours that fit close to your body. Its reduced size makes extended practice or performance sessions easy on your shoulders and back. The cutaway gives you full access to higher frets for solos and melodies. Whether sitting or standing, the ergonomic shape keeps you focused on making music.

Upgraded Electronics Capture Your Sound

With the Fishman ISY-201 pickup system, the Black Hole produces a clear, feedback-resistant plugged-in tone. Shape your amplified sound with the volume, bass and treble controls. An onboard tuner lets you quickly tune by ear or tune discreetly on stage. No matter where you play, the Fishman electronics authentically convey the resonance and dynamics of the Black Hole's solid wood construction.

Gig-Ready and Exceptional Value

The included padded gig bag protects your Black Hole for transport and storage. With pro-level build quality and components at an affordable price, the Black Hole acoustic-electric represents unparalleled value for serious musicians.
