Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The frets as they arrived were deemed to need only a minor cleanup. A polish was performed on the frets and fingerboard bringing the fretboard to pristine condition! No further work was required.

An absolute jaw-dropper of an axe, further raising the already sky-high bar on what the potent combination of Adirondack(Red) Spruce and Madagascar Rosewood are capable of.  Like a D-28 that plays like a tele and sounds like it's half Steinway grand! 

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.
