Sound Pure's Take
We are really impressed with this 3.5 from McPherson. The body size itself allows the guitar to react a little bit quicker than the deeper versions without sacrificing much volume at all. The Engelmann top provides a ton of warmth and complexity. Combine that with the mellowness of Walnut on the back and sides and you've got a wonderful guitar. The setup and feel is absolutely perfect as it is on all of the McPherson guitars. This guitar is great for fingerstyle or flatpicking as demonstrated in our video. Don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about any of our McPherson guitar inventory.
From McPherson Guitars
Top: Engelmann Spruce
Back and Sides: Flamed Walnut
Engelmann Spruce is light in color with rich, complex tone. This wood best suits a more gentle touch. Great for fingerpicking with warm bass and complex overtones.
Flamed Claro Walnut has a strong fundamental, with warmth and balance. Walnut has less depth and projection than rosewood and slightly darker tone than Mahogany.
