Sound Pure's Take

What a profoundly impressive instrument.  The tonewood combo can be relied on to deliver power, clarity, and sheer drama, regardless of the builder, but this guitar truly achieves a grand piano-like quality that brings time to a halt when you hear it.  We love the aesthetic updates the folks at McPherson have added--subtle touches here and there that just the elevate the instrument as a whole.  Did we mention they've dropped prices this year?  Don't miss this!!!

From McPherson Guitars

More than three decades ago, McPherson revolutionized the acoustic guitar world by introducing a unique Offset Soundhole Technology. This breakthrough design increased the total flexible surface area on the central part of the instrument.

Since then, we have continued to be a pioneer in the marketplace with our state-of-the-art bracing, cantilivered neck, and soundhole design.

When asked the question, “Why do you play a McPherson guitar?”, some might answer it’s the superior craftsmanship or the stability of the neck. Some might say it’s the innovative design or the inspiration it brings to the performer. But without a doubt they will all agree it’s the sound of the McPherson guitar that sets it apart from the crowd. The rich, full tone and clarity of the McPherson guitar is like no other. Once you pick one up, you will never want to put it down.
