The Merida Red Fox Imperial Series grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians a premium instrument at an exceptional value. Constructed with a solid spruce top and quilted sapele back and sides, the Red Fox generates a bold, balanced tone with shimmering highs and tight lows. Its slim neck and cutaway body offer comfortable playability whether you're strumming chords or soloing up the fingerboard. The Fishman ISY-201 pickup system captures the Red Fox's resonant voice and lets you plug in for live performance or recording.

Solid Spruce Top Unlocks Rich, Nuanced Sound

The Red Fox's solid spruce top is hand-selected for its musical properties, yielding a tone both rich in overtones and finely nuanced. Spruce is a traditional top wood for acoustic guitars thanks to its ability to vibrate freely. Paired with the Red Fox's quilted sapele back and sides, the spruce top produces a wide tonal range from bright trebles to warm basses. You'll hear each note ring clearly even during complex fingerpicking passages.

Slim Neck and Cutaway For Easy Playability

Whether you have small hands or simply prefer an effortless playing feel, you'll appreciate the Red Fox's slim C-shaped neck. Its profile tapers smoothly from the nut to heel, allowing your hand to glide up and down the fingerboard. The cutaway body provides access to the higher frets for solos and melodies. The combination of slim neck and cutaway makes the Red Fox accessible to players of all abilities.

Onboard Electronics Capture the Red Fox's Voice

The Fishman ISY-201 pickup system gives you total control over the Red Fox's amplified tone. Featuring an undersaddle piezo pickup and preamp with rotary controls for volume, bass, middle and treble, the ISY-201 conveys the guitar's natural resonance and clarity. You can shape your tone to cut through a mix or dial in acoustic-like warmth. An onboard tuner ensures you're in tune before plugging in to perform or record.

Premium gig bag included

A padded gig bag is included to protect your investment and provide convenient transport and storage. Its durable outer layer shields against impacts and abrasions while cushioning the guitar during transit. Padded straps make the gig bag comfortable to carry, allowing you to bring your Red Fox to lessons, jam sessions or anywhere else your musical pursuits may take you.
