McPherson 4.5 Flamed Redwood / Brazilian Rosewood Natural, Near Mint, Original Hard, $16,879.00
This is one incredibly rare and prized tonewood combination. Brazilian Rosewood is strictly regulated and as such, extremely sought after due to its uniquely warm and musical nature and tonality (check out that KILLER figuring on the back and sides!). We can honestly say that we have not been this impressed by an acoustic instrument... EVER! These guitars demonstrate a level of craftsmanship that, even when inspected under the microscope, is utterly flawless. Additionally, the innovation involved in the design of the offset sound hole and top bracing lends itself to one of the most powerful, booming acoustic sounds that we've come across. However, despite the rich tone and volume, this McPherson stays completely balanced throughout the tonal spectrum. The bass never gets loose or muddy, the mids are punchy and have a strong presence while the highs provide plenty of sparkle and chime without being shrill.
Features:
African Mahogany Neck
Ebony Fretboard

From McPherson:
"The elliptical shape, size and location of the McPherson Guitars soundhole are the result of exhaustive testing. Traditional center-hole designs rob a guitar of sound-enhancing flexible surface area. By moving the soundhole to a very specific and crucial position on the face of the guitar , we have effectively increased flexible surface area on the central part of the instrument. By allowing vibrations from the bridge to travel directly across a longer unencumbered soundboard, we increase sustain and resonance. The result is a sound you have got to hear to believe.
If you look closely you will see that the fretboard on the McPherson Guitar is not connected/glued onto the top of the guitar. This cantilevered design allows the top to vibrate and resonate to its fullest potential. Inside the neck is a triangulated system which stabilizes the neck and eliminates the need for adjustment."
In NEAR MINT condition! Body has several pinhead dings. Comes with everything pictured.
