Another brilliant achievement for the team at McPherson Guitars, with the 4.5 East Indian Rosewood/Redwood Acoustic Guitar sporting some of today's most innovative processes to create a simply breathtaking exterior, and even more impressive quality in sound. The Redwood top provides the warmth and complexity often received from Cedar, though the Rosewood exhibits a darker tone, more subtle bass with greater headroom than seen with Cedar tops. The back and sides are covered in East Indian Rosewood, which gives this McPherson a variety of rich low ends, with vibrant mids and highs to round out this insanely smooth guitar. The 4.5 East Indian Rosewood/Redwood from McPherson really shines when given the opportunity to be amplified, and has a carbon fiber truss rod that never needs adjustment, coupled with an oversized soundboard to really create those massive landscapes of sound and an incredible amount of sustain. For any questions about this spectacular McPherson, or any other gear used in this video please call SoundPure today, 919.682.5552. or 888.528.9703. A very big Thank You to Keith Ganz for playing in this video.   Gear used: McPherson 4.5 acoustic guitar, Schoeps CMC 6 mic w/ MK22 capsules, Sebatron Axis 200VU preamp, Lynx Aurora AD Converter

The 4.0XP Engelmann Spruce/Figured Bubinga from McPherson Guitars is truly an astonishingly beautiful guitar, both in tone and aesthetic. Often referred to as African Rosewood, Bubinga is actually not a part of the Rosewood family at all, however it does provide very similar tones most commonly exhibited with Rosewood Guitars. The warmth in the bass, and the complexity of overtones is directly attributed to the softness of the Engelmann Spruce top, which provides a palpable richness to the guitar's tone. The 4.0XP Engelmann Spruce/Figured Bubinga is best suited for gentler playing, it is great for fingerpicking, and really produces a supreme quality of sound, as to be expected in any McPherson Guitar. If you have any questions about this stunning, handmade McPherson or any other gear used in this video, please call SoundPure today 919.682.5552. or 888.528.9703. Big Thanks to Keith Ganz for contributing his incredible talent to the making of this video.    Gear Used: McPherson 4.0XP Engelmann Spruce/Figured Bubinga, Schoeps CMC6 Microphone body with MK22 Capsules, Sebatron Axis 200VU Preamp, Lynx Aurora A/D Converter

  This gorgeous Dreadnought "Country Boy" by Dana Bourgeois is one fine-lookin', doozy of an instrument. Crafted with an Adirondack Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, this six-string sounds as clear as a crisp October afternoon and as warm as a wood-fired stove.

McPherson Guitars are well known for their innovative designs, stunning aesthetics, and superior sound quality, and the 5.0 Koa/Port Orford Cedar is no exception. Though it can be deceiving in name, Port Orford Cedar is actually a member of the Cypress family, and provides a really warm, Spruce-like top tone. Koa provides some really rich low end, sparkling clean tone, and is only grown in Hawaii, making its' unique look and sound that much more exclusive. The 5.0 really is an incredible example of the sheer volume and sustain that McPherson Guitars present with their groundbreaking Offset Soundhole Technology. There are few other acoustic guitars on the market that can replicate the richness of harmonic content, volume and sustain that the 5.0 Koa/Port Orford Cedar from McPherson offers.
