Description
Mérida BREAKERS-EQ Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar with a solid spruce top, flamed ovangkol back and sides, a flamed okoume neck, and a high gloss finish.
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. I started as a studio musician in Los Angeles, and now I run Terry Carter Music Store and a music education platform that has taught thousands of students how to play.
The BREAKERS-EQ is a 20th Anniversary Grand Auditorium cutaway with a solid spruce top and flamed ovangkol back and sides, in a natural high gloss finish. Forward-shifted X bracing, a slim C flamed okoume neck, a genuine bone nut and saddle, an HPL fingerboard and bridge, an armrest, and gold-plated die-cast tuners with ebony knobs round it out, and the built-in Fishman electronics make it ready for the stage.
