What Makes the OMC Orchestra Model Cutaway Body Special?

The Merida Extrema A18OMC EQ features an OMC orchestra model cutaway body which is the preferred body shape of professional fingerpickers, singer-songwriters and recording artists worldwide. The OMC body is slightly smaller and more focused than a grand auditorium body producing an articulate clear tone with excellent note separation and midrange clarity that captures every nuance of fingerpicking and complex chord voicings with precision. The OMC body also sits more comfortably in the playing position making it ideal for extended performance and recording sessions. The cutaway gives comfortable access to upper frets for advanced lead playing and soloing on stage.

What Makes the LR Baggs EAS-VTC Special?

The LR Baggs EAS-VTC is one of the most revered acoustic guitar pickup and preamp systems in the world. LR Baggs is the premier name in professional acoustic guitar electronics trusted by Grammy-winning artists, professional session musicians and touring performers globally. The EAS-VTC system captures the natural acoustic voice of your guitar with exceptional transparency and detail using Volume Treble and Clarity controls for precise on-body tone shaping. This is the pickup system that professional guitarists specifically request when building their ideal stage instrument.

What Makes Solid Spruce Top Special?

The A18OMC EQ features a solid spruce top which is the gold standard tonewood for acoustic guitar tops. Solid spruce produces a bright articulate tone with exceptional dynamic range that responds to every nuance of your playing. Unlike laminate tops a solid spruce top opens up and improves dramatically with playing over time making the A18OMC EQ a lifelong instrument that rewards you with increasingly beautiful tone as the years pass.

What Makes Rosewood Back and Sides Special?

The A18OMC EQ features rosewood back and sides which is one of the most prized tonewoods in acoustic guitar making. Rosewood produces a rich complex tone with excellent bass response and sparkling highs that perfectly complement the bright articulate solid spruce top. In the OMC body format this tonewood combination produces an exceptionally focused and musical voice ideal for recording and stage performance.
