Solid Woods Generate Full, Nuanced Sound
The solid spruce top on the Wave vibrates freely to produce crisp highs, warm midrange and balanced bass. Spruce is the preferred top wood for acoustic guitars because of its strength, lightness and tonal qualities. The gold nanmu back and sides provide visual beauty along with tonal warmth and complexity. Together, these premium solid woods create an expressive voice with shimmering highs, a sweet midrange and tight low end.
Fishman Pickup System for Natural Amplified Sound
The Wave comes equipped with a Fishman ISY-201 pickup system so you can plug in for live performance or recording. The ISY-201 uses an undersaddle piezo pickup to capture the natural acoustic tone of the guitar. It produces a clear, feedback-resistant sound ideal for both lead and rhythm playing. Simple controls for volume, bass and treble allow you to shape your amplified tone to suit different styles. The Fishman system gives you a convenient way to share the Wave's beautiful voice with an audience.
Designed for Playing Comfort
When you pick up the Wave, you'll appreciate details that make it comfortable for extended playing. Its grand concert body size provides an intimate feel, while the solid mahogany neck has a slim, fast profile. The cutaway allows easy access to higher frets. An armrest crafted from gold nanmu provides tonal balance and playing support. Overall, the Wave feels familiar and inspiring in your hands. You'll find yourself playing for hours without fatigue thanks to its ergonomic design.
Premium Gig Bag Included
To keep your Wave safe when transporting it to jam sessions, lessons or shows, Merida includes a padded gig bag. The 8mm thick bag protects the guitar from bumps and scratches while in transit. After your set or practice, simply place the Wave in the gig bag for secure storage until your next musical adventure. The included gig bag is one more way Merida ensures you'll enjoy the Wave for years to come.
