McPherson

collapse expand iconDescription

The McPherson Carbon Series Sable acoustic-electric guitar with gold hardware delivers exceptional response and depth, along with the signature McPherson resonance and long-lasting sustain in this unique, all-carbon fiber instrument. Carbon fiber does not expand, contract or warp when exposed to temperature or humidity changes, producing stable and consistently clear tone no matter where you are. With an offset soundhole, cantilevered neck and patented bracing system, the soundboard is able to vibrate to its fullest potential. The Carbon Series Sable boasts warm, punchy low end and balance throughout the fingerboard. The smooth matte feel of the C-shaped carbon fiber neck ensures endless comfort and smooth playability. Additional appointments include Gotoh 510 precision tuners, a composite nut and saddle, EVO frets and an L.R. Baggs Element pickup. Comes with a custom fit case.

    agree 100%w/ other review. outstanding tone & sustain w/Smooth easy playability. Great electronics. Not quite the deep low end of my Gibson J45D but close w/abetter high end. Stand in front of it w/someone else playing it to truly evaluate the quality tone. You'll be blown away.

  • Very happy with this guitar!

    Plays like a dream. Great action, clear articulation with beautiful ringing sustain. I've heard that it doesn't project, but I'm not finding this to be accurate with mine. I have a large collection of wood acoustic guitars and this is a fantastic addition. It's not a looker, but I didn't buy it for appearance. Sandpapery back and sides was a little weird at first, but it keeps it in place on my lap and I'm getting used to it. Tuners are excellent. I haven't tried the Elements pickup yet but I have other under-saddle piezo pickups so I know what to expect. Probably won't be plugging it in much anyway. Also like the RB gig-bag. Hoping the zippers will hold up. I prefer hard cases for my wood guitars due to humidity concerns, but that's not an issue here. The only bad thing I can say about it is the smell. It has a weird synthetic odor. The bag doesn't seem to smell so I'm guessing it's the guitar itself. Hopefully that will dissipate over time because I immediately notice it when I take it out. Might try leaving it out for a while to see if that helps. Compared to my cedar topped guitars, it's not exactly a feast for the senses! (Maybe I should drop a bag of balsam inside?). Smell aside, highly recommended!
