Sound Pure's Take

Another gem of the modern golden age of guitar construction!  This Camrielle is a perfect paradox of specialization and versatility...more like a King of all Trades than a Jack!  Whether you're flatpicking or fingerpicking, every playing approach is graced with old-world woodiness and new world brilliance and complexity.  We love how the back tapers in just a bit as you get to the end pin, allowing a big box without that nasty shoulder pinch many dread players are familiar with.  Superlative in every way!

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.

From McPherson Guitars

Designed with a slightly smaller body profile, the compact, punchy tone and clear, bell-like voice of the Camrielle® are all McPherson®. The Camrielle® sounds great in any musical setting, and excels as a fingerstyle go-to instrument.

A stunning Mahogany with small wavy grain and interlocking flame pattern similar to that of a bees wing. Beeswing's tight grain and figure make this an excellent choice for those that are looking for a mahogany guitar.
