Sound Pure's Take

Jaws were dropping all day long when we took delivery on this masterpiece!  This is the most breathtaking Brazilian Rosewood acoustic guitar we have seen at the shop!

The Flamed Redwood top is a perfect match for the Brazilian back and sides, both aesthetically and tonally.  Get bold, complex tone sustain and overtones of the likes you never thought existed.

This guitar is just as much a work of fine art as it is a tone monster!  McPherson doesn't make many of these, so be sure to talk to a Sound Pure Guitar Department Representative today.
