Sound Pure's Take

Soft yet bright, this guitar was conceived in the collective unconscious of guitarists everywhere! It will transform the gentlest touch into a cascade of overtones that hang around just long enough to greet the first chord. The back and sides resemble a desert after a fresh rain; the sand darkened and dimpled into a brand new landscape. The top is snowfall brushed with sunlight. I could go on, but the pictures speak for themselves. This is the kind of guitar that makes you sit up straight and listen. This is a guitar that inspires.

The 4.0XP Engelmann Spruce/Figured Bubinga from McPherson Guitars is truly an astonishingly beautiful guitar, both in tone and aesthetic. Often referred to as African Rosewood, Bubinga is actually not a part of the Rosewood family at all, however it does provide very similar tones most commonly exhibited with Rosewood Guitars. The warmth in the bass, and the complexity of overtones is directly attributed to the softness of the Engelmann Spruce top, which provides a palpable richness to the guitar's tone. The 4.0XP Engelmann Spruce/Figured Bubinga is best suited for gentler playing, it is great for fingerpicking, and really produces a supreme quality of sound, as to be expected in any McPherson Guitar. If you have any questions about this stunning, handmade McPherson or any other gear used in this video, please call SoundPure today 919.682.5552. or 888.528.9703. Big Thanks to Keith Ganz for contributing his incredible talent to the making of this video.
