McPherson

Description

The McPherson Carbon Sable acoustic-electric is a full-size guitar that delivers superb response and depth thanks to its carbon fiber construction. With powerful, intricate tone, the Carbon Sable is suited to fingerstyle playing, strumming and everything in between. The offset soundhole, cantilevered neck and unique bracing all work to produce beautiful resonance and sustain, while the carbon-reinforced neck provides adjustment-free stability. When you need to plug in, the onboard L.R. Baggs Element active undersaddle pickup is paired with a discrete Class A endpin preamp, custom-voiced for carbon fiber. Additional appointments to the Carbon Sable include a composite saddle and nut, EVO frets, Gotoh 510 precision tuners and a 1-piece carbon fiber neck in a "C"-shaped profile. Comes with a custom fit and embroidered Reunion Blues deluxe gig bag.

    It's the best sounding carbon composite guitar of all the ones I looked into. Since it's made of carbon fiber, It will never need setting up because it never changes. I had it in the very cold the other day and picked it up and it sounds just as good as the prior day. I haven't tried the pickup yet but I think that's going to be today.

    I watched many Mcpherson Sable YouTube videos. They all said that it sounds good as wooden guitar, or better. I bought one, and now I understand why they say it sounds as good as, or better than a high end wooden guitar. Now I get it. It is a fancy black, glossy, stylish shaped guitar. I own many wooden guitars; Martin D45, Taylor 912CE, Santa Cruz D, Collings D2HA, and Huss and Dalton custom. Mcpherson sable is another good sounding guitar which blends in well to my collection.

  • Love this guitar. Sounds better than my high end Taylor's!

    Great sounds both unplugged and plugged. Perfect neck that never requires adjustment and all weatherproof. I carry this guitar everywhere. Sounds better than most of my high end Martins and Taylor's. Of course, the sound will not age like solid wood guitars over time, but it doesn't matter, since this McPherson Sable will top many aged vintage wood guitars. This is my most go to guitar and I would definitely buy this guitar again!

    I'm am interested in a 2022 McPherson Sable with honeycomb top and gold hardware. I see you only have the 2022 with honeycomb top and black hardware available for sale on the website, based on the photos. Will you be selling any with the gold hardware?
