This McPherson MG 4.5 features a top crafted from Port Orchard Cedar - it's actually not a Cedar, but a form of Cypress. Port Orchard Cedar is a superbly resonant, durable, and somewhat rare wood once favored for arrow making due to it's straightness and ability to resist splitting. The back and sides are eye-catching Striped Macassar Ebony, an African hardwood with a brighter tone, akin to Maple or Koa. Just check out the back on this - really beautiful with the bookmatched Ebony featuring lighter sapwood on one edge creating an impressive stripe down the center. The combination of woods here gives you a bold sound with clarity and great balance.
The trademark cantilevered neck and offset soundhole on this also lend to the great resonance. All the details are here too, including gold finished Schaller tuners, sharp Curly Koa binding and the great L.R. Baggs RTS 2 pickup system. This McPherson MG 4.5 comes with the Ameritage hard case with a built in humidity control system. s/n: 1509

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

Simply breathtaking McPherson MG 5.0XP with a Western Redwood top and Zircote back and sides (check out the back and binding photos!). Zircote is similar to Rosewood, with great projection and sustain, coupled with great beauty. This is all set off with beautiful binding. McPherson's unusual offset soundhole and cantilevered neck design allow greater resonance as the neck does not touch the top. It's innovative and the sound is superb. This McPherson MG 5.0XP comes with the great Ameritage case with humidity control. s/n: 1483

The trademark cantilevered neck and offset soundhole design are trademarks of McPherson's innovative style - they're also renowned for incredible use of spectacular woods, which are quite apparent on this McPherson MG 3.5 Redwood. What it comes down to though in the end, is of course sound and feel, and this McPherson MG 3.5 has an incredible sound. The size is comfortable, but it still delivers good volume. The Indian Rosewood back and sides are stunning and the top is beautiful Redwood. This one really has character and beauty. This has the great L.R. Baggs RTS2 system as well.
