This 4.5 acoustic guitar from McPherson features Pau Rosa and Port Orford Cedar woods and is a remarkably full sounding guitar with a bold midrange that really shines. Port Orford Cedar, which is actually in the Cypress family, is an exotic wood that is unique due to it's straightness and resistance to splitting. McPherson's use of Pau Rosa brings a denser tone while the Port Orford offers bold and direct tone throughout the fundamentals with litter overtone content. McPherson's 4.5 acoustic guitar displays the right amount of articulation with dynamics and overtones that beam and sustain beautifully. Special thanks to Keith Ganz, if you like his sound check out his website!

What we think:

This is one of the most exotic wood grains we have seen with the McPherson line and boy does it perform!  This is a very full sounding guitar with just the right amount of articulation with dynamics.  This guitar has a bold mid-range that really shines in the mix.  And the overtones shimmer and sustain like you wouldn't believe!
