Mérida EMPRESS Prominence Series Orchestra Acoustic-Electric Guitar — Complete Bundle with $396 in Lessons and Accessories Included Free

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years — I started as a studio musician in Los Angeles, and today I run Terry Carter Music Store and a music-education platform that's taught thousands of players. Mérida is one of those brands most guitarists haven't discovered yet, and that's exactly what makes it a find: boutique-level tonewoods and craftsmanship at a price the big names can't touch. When you buy this EMPRESS from us, you're not just getting a great guitar — you're getting a full year of lessons so you actually learn to play it.

The Mérida EMPRESS is a premium Orchestra with a solid cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides — warm, refined, and responsive, with a high-gloss finish and elegant appointments.

About the Mérida EMPRESS

The 25.59" scale and 1.69" nut width support precise playability, with a rosewood fretboard and camel bone nut and saddle for clear articulation.

The Mérida MR5 pickup system powers confident amplification with natural tone transfer, chrome-plated die-cast tuners with design knobs provide tuning stability, and D'Addario XT (.012–.053) strings come installed in standard E-A-D-G-B-E.
