Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Good (repaired neck crack, pictured)

This McP has been hard at work and has a few battle scars to prove it, but there's something wonderful about a truly well-loved and often played guitar that has nothing do with looks. Expressive and perfectly EQ'd for both plugged and unplugged sounds, this guitar will serve its next owner well for many years to come!

SP Luthier Notes: Crack repairs, drop fills, fret dress, and setup

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.
