A carbon fiber acoustic-electric with unmatched tonal clarity.
The McPherson Carbon Series Sable acoustic-electric guitar redefines what's possible in carbon fiber construction. Built in the USA, this full-size instrument combines cutting-edge materials with McPherson's innovative design for unmatched tonal depth and stability. Its carbon fiber body and neck ensure durability and resistance to environmental changes, while the aramid bracing system delivers exceptional resonance and sustain. Paired with a cantilevered neck and offset soundhole, this guitar produces a rich, balanced tone that's as powerful as it is detailed. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the onboard L.R. Baggs Element active pickup ensures pristine amplified sound, custom-voiced specifically for carbon fiber. Every detail, from the composite nut and saddle to the gold frets, reflects the precision craftsmanship McPherson is known for.
Aramid Bracing System for Superior Resonance
At the heart of the McPherson Sable is its aramid bracing system, a revolutionary approach that enhances the instrument's tonal response. This bracing design optimizes vibration across the carbon fiber soundboard, resulting in a voice that's both powerful and articulate. The resonance created by this system is rich and complex, offering dynamic clarity whether you're fingerpicking intricate melodies or strumming open chords. Combined with the offset soundhole, the bracing ensures even projection across all frequencies, giving players a full-bodied and balanced sound. This advanced design delivers unmatched tonal consistency and resonance, ensuring every note you play sings with clarity and sustain.
Carbon Fiber Build for Unmatched Durability
The McPherson Sable features a carbon fiber neck and body, making it impervious to the humidity and temperature changes that can wreak havoc on traditional wooden guitars. This construction provides a stable foundation that eliminates the need for frequent neck adjustments, even in challenging conditions. The one-piece carbon fiber neck is shaped to a comfortable "C" profile, while the 20 gold frets and 1-3/4" nut width offer smooth playability and precise intonation. Whether you're traveling between gigs or playing outdoors, this guitar remains perfectly in tune and ready to perform, making it a reliable choice for demanding musicians.
L.R. Baggs Element Pickup for Pristine Amplified Sound
Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element active undersaddle pickup, the McPherson Sable ensures your tone translates flawlessly when plugged in. This pickup system, paired with a discrete Class-A endpin preamp, is custom-voiced to complement the carbon fiber construction, delivering a natural and detailed sound. The result is a warm, articulate amplified tone with minimal feedback, perfect for live performances or studio recordings. Whether you're playing solo or in a mix, the electronics provide consistent clarity and definition, allowing the full character of the instrument to shine. With its intuitive design, this system ensures professional-grade sound with every performance.
Precision Hardware for Reliable Performance
Every component of the McPherson Sable is designed with functionality and longevity in mind. Gotoh 510 precision tuning machines with a 21:1 gear ratio provide accurate, smooth tuning adjustments, ensuring stability even during extended playing sessions. The composite nut and saddle are meticulously compensated for perfect intonation across the fretboard, while the medium and low action saddles allow for easy customization to suit your playing style. From the gold frets to the lightweight design, every detail enhances the guitar's playability and reliability. These premium features make this instrument not only a joy to play but also a dependable choice for years to come.
