Sound Pure's Take
There once was a McPherson with a voice so beautiful only the most masterful engineers could do it justice
You'd play a chord and the overtones would swirl all around you like a sonic snow globe
The redwood top was warm and inviting with ripples like wind on desert sand
It had a graft of Adirondack beneath the surface
An oasis of clarity
The back and sides were a tapestry of richly woven blacks and reds
The finest grained rosewood Brazil has ever had to offer
This is that mythic guitar

From McPherson Guitars
Hybrid Flamed Redwood
Our Hybrid Flamed Redwood tops combine highly figured Redwood with a graft of Adirondack Red Spruce. These tops feature the strong fundamental tone of Adirondack Red Spruce with the warmth and character of Redwood.
Brazilian Rosewood
Generally considered the best tonewood for steel stringed instruments; Brazilian Rosewood is a highly prized choice for back and sides. Endangered and becoming very rare, Brazilian Rosewood has everything other rosewoods have to offer and more. A rich powerful sound full of overtones and depth.
