“McPherson Guitars are exceptional in so many ways. The design is eye catching; beautiful wood in every guitar I’ve seen and the sound is extraordinary. Talk about strings that ring forever… must have something to do with the cantilevered neck. My McPherson guitar makes me sound like a better player than I am.”
