Nylon Series Guitars

When we talk about history and tradition of guitar, the nylon string one, otherwise known as “Spanish guitar”, is what better represents the synthesis of the evolution of the instrument.

The importance of the manufacturing and of quality of the woods are absolutely essential for an instrument which has been designed to be played exclusively with fingers, no pick at all.

In fact, in order to give the musician complete freedom and ability to express his own through the instrument, it is necessary not only a beautiful and balanced tone, but a great volume for a wide dynamic, and a precise and comfortable fretboard.

It is exactly with such ideas on mind that Merida Extrema craftsmen approach the creation of the amazing instruments from the nylon series.

Thanks to more than twenty years of experience as original brand, and many more as manufacturer for several of the most well-known western brands, Merida couldn’t certainly fail in creating a series of guitars which offers the perfect solutions not only to the complete beginner and to the advanced guitar student, but to the professional as well.

Tradition, innovation, top quality materials and top-class manufacturing, this is the perfect recipe by Merida Extrema.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the classical guitar harder than the piano?2023-04-06T11:30:22+00:00
There’s a fairly common idea that it takes longer to master the piano than the guitar, but this is simply a common misconception.
It really depends on what level you consider a musician to have achieved.
Learning to strum some chords may not take long, but playing the instrument correctly with a classical technique can take several years.
What makes the guitar harder, and this is particularly evident at the beginning of the learning process, is the fact that you need to be extremely precise on the fretboard right away to play clean notes.
On the piano, however, you need to hit the correct key with minimal pressure to get a clean sound.
It goes without saying that both tools are extremely technical and demanding.
Can you strum a classical guitar?2023-04-06T11:30:22+00:00
The classical guitar has been designed to be picked and not to be strummed.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t strum with nylon strings, but simply that the result from a sound point of view is not exceptional.
A chord strummed with a classical will result with a really muffled sound because of a uniform equalisation of the treble, mid and bass.
This is the reason why we usually strum on metal string guitar with a thinner, brighter and more precise sound for chords.
Can you put metal strings on a classical guitar?2023-04-06T11:30:39+00:00
Absolutely not.
Metal-string guitars are designed to sustain a much higher tension on the strings than their classical counterparts.
This is due to the difference in the materials the strings are made of. Nylon strings need a lower tension to work at the correct pitch, and as a result guitar bracing is usually not strong enough to work at the tension of metal strings.
Unless the guitar is equipped with truss rods to protect the integrity of the neck from sudden changes in voltage, metal strings should never be used in place of nylon.
Can you play a steel string guitar with your fingers?2023-05-03T03:46:50+00:00
You can certainly pluck a metal-string guitar, but due to the lower tension of the strings and the softer material they are made of, plucking on a nylon string is definitely easier.
This is why the best learning path for anyone wanting to play the finger style is to start with classical guitar, master the technique, and only then move on to metal string.
