With its fan-braced cedar top projecting rich overtones, the Merida T5 Trajan classical guitar offers performance-level quality at a student-model price.

The Merida Trajan T5 has been beautifully handcrafted incorporating both modern and traditional Spanish building methods. It boasts a genuine Spanish-style heel (not a dovetail neck joint), a bi-flex truss rod for neck adjustability, a traditional fan braced cedar top and gorgeous, rich mahogany back and sides. The neck is made of mahogany, the nut and saddle are Graphtech TUSQ.

The T5 is the perfect guitar for the budget conscience buyer looking for a beautiful to look at, easy-to-play instrument with amazingly rich, vibrant sound.

I am completely satisfied and impressed. As we approach "bonus season", I will be making a purchase of a T25-CES.
