Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
It's crazy to think one of the most humble tonewood combinations offered by McPherson could create such an incredibly inspiring sound.
Even the most simplistic designs and concepts are taken a step forward with the guys at McPherson.
There's an articulate note to note definition that just announces itself with authority. Your ear can decipher even the most complex chord shapings with relative ease.
There's a swirling helix of ethereal overtones that sits subtly in the back, never taking away from the prominence of the fundamental tone.
This is the kind of guitar that you dream about during the day and then dream about again at night. It's absolutely breathtaking.
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.
