Sound Pure's Take
Versatility is the resounding take away from this magnificent creation from McPherson. With their medium body depth, it is the perfect cross section of comfort for extended play, feedback resistance at higher sound pressures, acoustic volume and dynamic response. The wood combo of Redwood and Bubinga very well maybe the most versatile in existence. Redwood possesses the responsiveness of Cedar and enough headroom when driven to rival some of the Spruces. Bubinga, apart from the spectacular figuring, is one of the most versatile tonewoods available. It possesses the wonderful bass and treble character of Rosewood with the midrange of Mahogany.

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.
