The Merida DG20BMCS Diana Series Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft warm, resonant tones thanks to its solid spruce top and figured mahogany back and sides. Designed for intimate settings yet powerful enough for live performance, this Grand Concert model has a balanced tone that suits any genre. The slim mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel smooth and comfortable under your fingers, allowing complex chords and melodies to ring out with clarity.

Solid Spruce Top Radiates Resonant Tone

As the first soundboard, the solid spruce top significantly impacts the DG20BMCS's tone. Spruce is a lightweight, resonant wood that produces crisp treble frequencies and a quick response. When you strum or pick the strings, the spruce top instantly translates that energy into sound. The more you play, the more the spruce opens up, enhancing the guitar's resonance and improving with age. Spruce is a traditional, proven tonewood found on high-quality acoustics that provides a solid foundation for the guitar's voice.

Mahogany Body Generates Warmth and Sustain

The mahogany back and sides add tonal depth and sustain to balance the spruce top. Mahogany produces a focused midrange and warm lows that give chords and single notes a rounded, piano-like quality. Its dense grain also helps notes ring out and hold their tone. The mahogany body, combined with the spruce top, results in an articulate yet well-rounded acoustic voice perfect for singer-songwriters and instrumentalists alike.

Fishman Pickup System Amplifies with Ease

When you're ready to plug in the DG20BMCS, the Fishman ISY-201 pickup system makes it simple. This undersaddle pickup accurately conveys the natural acoustic tone of the guitar. Controls include volume, bass and treble to shape your amplified sound. An onboard tuner lets you tune silently before a performance. The preamp runs on a 9-volt battery so you have the freedom to roam the stage. For recording in a studio or performing at a gig, the Fishman system gives you a high-quality amplified signal with the turn of a knob.

Premium Appointments and Craftsmanship

From the abalone rosette and binding to the inlaid logo on the headstock, premium appointments abound on the DG20BMCS. Its dovetail neck joint, polished frets and bone nut and saddle provide exceptional craftsmanship for outstanding playability and tone.
