Mérida JULIET-EQ Classic Series Dreadnought 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 JULIET-EQ 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 JULIET-EQ delivers bold projection and clarity from a true dreadnought body. Solid spruce top, sapele back and sides, and a striking transparent blue gloss finish that stands out on any stage. It's a serious instrument that sounds — and looks — well above its price.
What's Included in This Bundle — $396 in Free Value
🎸 Mérida JULIET-EQ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar ($449 value) — the actual instrument, inspected and set up right by our team, ready to play.
🔧 Free Professional Setup by Our In-House Tech ($55 value) — action adjusted, intonation checked, neck relief dialed in before it ships. You get a guitar that plays right out of the box, not one shipped from a warehouse shelf.
🎓 12-Month Rock Like The Pros Premium Membership ($240 value) — full access to every course at rocklikethepros.com, beginner through advanced, plus weekly live Zoom lessons with me. This is what separates us: most shops hand you a guitar, we teach you to play it.

🎵 Premium Acoustic Guitar String Set ($20 value) — your first restring is already covered.

About the Mérida JULIET-EQ
The Mérida JULIET-EQ Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar delivers bold projection and clarity, because its dreadnought body shape enhances volume and low-end depth. Featuring a solid spruce top, it produces crisp articulation and dynamic response, while the sapele back and sides add warmth and balance. The transparent blue gloss finish stands out on stage and protects the wood for lasting beauty. A 25.59" scale length supports strong string tension and accurate intonation, so chords ring clearly across every fret. The mahogany and maple neck feels stable and smooth, while the Slim C profile ensures comfortable playability for long sessions. Genuine bone nut and saddle improve sustain and resonance, so each note sounds full and defined. Forward-shifted X bracing boosts vibration transfer, making the tone feel open and expressive.
Performance and Electronics
The Mérida JULIET-EQ includes a Fishman ISY-201 pickup, so you can plug in with confidence during live performances. Chrome Mérida design tuners provide reliable tuning stability, and premium D'Addario EXP16 strings enhance tone and durability. The Omega laminate fretboard and bridge offer dependable structure while maintaining smooth playability. With a 1.69" nut width, this guitar supports comfortable chord transitions and precise finger placement. Tuned to standard E-A-D-G-B-E, it suits a wide range of musical styles, whether you play rhythm or lead.
