McPherson Acoustic-Electric Guitars - MG 5.0XP Port Orford Cedar/Black Acacia

MPN: MG 5.0XP Port Orford Cedar/Black Acacia

This stunning McPherson MG5.0XP is possibly the finest one we've ever received from these innovative builders. This has a top crafted from Port Orford Cedar (not really a Cedar) and back and sides that are flamed Black Acacia. We'll delve into the woods in a minute, but let's cut to the chase - the sound on this is unbelievable - lively, bold yet still with a delicacy making it perfect for stage or recording - or knocking your own socks off at home. Now the woods - Port Orford Cedar is an evergreen, like Cedar, but is technically not a cedar, really a Cypress. It is extremely durable, resists splitting - (was once upon a time the wood of choice for arrow-makers!)- plus it has superb resonance. It's not used often on guitars because it is somewhat rare.

The back and sides on this are flamed Black Acacia, also known as Australian Blackwood. This wood is a cousin of Koa, and is quite beautiful. It lends a beautiful open, woody tone - somewhat between Rosewood and Mahogany. The pairing of the two unique woods in this guitar are aurally stunning with a full sound that actually tops the impressive appearance. As always with McPherson's, this has the great cantilevered neck design, giving more resonance on the soundboard, and all the superb detailing. This McPherson MG5.0XP comes with the Ameritage hard case. s/n: 1534
