Mérida Guitars was established around 2005 as a Chinese made acoustic and classical guitar brand. At first Mérida instruments were sold in Europe and Japan but in 2015 the Mérida brand was introduced in the USA by Vision Musical Instruments - a musical instrument distributor based in Norwalk, Connecticut.
