A carbon fiber acoustic-electric for durable, rich tone.
The McPherson Carbon Series Touring acoustic-electric guitar redefines portable performance with its innovative design and robust construction. At 3/4 size and weighing just over 4 lb., this instrument is a marvel of engineering, featuring a carbon fiber body and neck that deliver exceptional tonal clarity and stability. The offset soundhole, aramid bracing system and cantilevered neck combine to produce rich resonance and extended sustain, making it an ideal choice for both fingerstyle players and strummers. Equipped with an L.R. Baggs Element active pickup system tailored for carbon fiber, this guitar ensures pristine amplified sound whether you're on stage or in the studio. With thoughtful details like Gotoh 510 tuners and a custom SKB Deluxe hard case, the McPherson Touring offers a premium playing experience in a compact, travel-friendly design.
Carbon Fiber Body With Aramid Bracing
Crafted from carbon fiber, the body of this guitar offers exceptional tonal performance and unmatched durability. Unlike traditional wood guitars, the carbon fiber construction is impervious to changes in temperature and humidity, ensuring that your tone stays consistent no matter the environment. The aramid bracing system enhances the instrument's resonance by distributing vibrations evenly across the carbon fiber top, resulting in a rich, balanced sound with impressive projection. This innovative design not only provides powerful acoustic tone but also eliminates the need for frequent maintenance, making it a reliable companion for both studio work and road trips.
Offset Soundhole and Cantilevered Neck for Enhanced Resonance
The McPherson Touring's offset soundhole is more than just an eye-catching feature—it's a functional design element that improves sound dispersion and tonal depth. By moving the soundhole away from the center of the top, this guitar allows for greater flexibility in the soundboard, enhancing sustain and harmonic richness. Additionally, the cantilevered neck is suspended above the soundboard, allowing the top to vibrate freely for optimal resonance. These design innovations work together to produce a dynamic, full-bodied tone that rivals larger guitars, all while maintaining the portability of a 3/4-size instrument.
L.R. Baggs Element Pickup for Pristine Amplified Sound
When it's time to amplify your sound, the Touring's onboard L.R. Baggs Element active pickup delivers unmatched clarity and detail. This system, custom-voiced for carbon fiber guitars, includes a discrete Class-A endpin preamp that ensures a natural, balanced tone when plugged in. The undersaddle pickup captures every nuance of your playing, from intricate fingerpicking to bold strumming. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, the McPherson Touring provides consistent, high-quality sound that faithfully reproduces its acoustic character. With easy-to-use controls, this pickup system offers seamless integration into any performance setup.
Durable Carbon Fiber Construction for Travel and Longevity
The McPherson Touring is built to withstand the rigors of travel and the demands of any playing situation. Its carbon fiber neck and body ensure that it remains unaffected by environmental changes, providing a worry-free experience for musicians on the go. Gotoh 510 precision tuners with a 1:21 gear ratio offer accurate tuning and smooth operation, while the composite nut and saddle maintain consistent intonation. The included SKB Deluxe hard case is custom-fitted to the guitar, offering excellent protection during transport. With its rugged design and high-performance materials, this guitar is the perfect choice for players seeking reliability and premium sound quality.
Compact Acoustic-Electric Guitar for the Traveling Musician
The McPherson Carbon Series Touring is designed for players who need exceptional tone and portability. Its lightweight construction and 3/4 size make it easy to carry, while the ergonomic design ensures comfortable playability during extended sessions. Whether you're a professional performer or a hobbyist looking for a travel-friendly instrument, this guitar provides a premium playing experience without compromise. Invest in the McPherson Touring and enjoy a high-quality acoustic-electric guitar that's ready to accompany you anywhere.
