Compact body, warm Koa tone – the MERIDA Diana M1-KOA

Meet the MERIDA Diana M1-KOA, an acoustic-electric guitar that pairs a compact, travel-friendly body with the rare, warm character of solid Koa wood. Part of the popular Diana series, this model is built for players who want an expressive, distinctive tone on the road, on a small stage, or simply at home, without giving up true plug-and-play convenience.

Solid Koa for a tone all its own

The solid Koa top, paired with Koa back and sides, delivers a balanced, warm voice with shimmering highs and tight lows, a tonewood traditionally reserved for Hawaiian instruments that opens up and matures the more it is played. The Mahogany neck with its slim C profile sits comfortably in the hand and supports fast, precise playing.

Compact GS-Mini shape, fully stage-ready

The compact GS-Mini body shape makes the M1-KOA an ideal companion for travel, jam sessions and the living room sofa alike, with no tonal compromise thanks to Forward-Shifted X bracing. The built-in Fishman preamp system delivers a natural, present sound through an amp or PA, while the bone nut and saddle and the Omega laminate components keep intonation and tuning stability sharp.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Rare Koa tone: solid Koa top for a warm, shimmering sound that matures over time.

• Stage-ready: Fishman preamp for a rich, natural sound through amp or PA.
