A 3/4 carbon fiber guitar with rich tone and resilience.
The McPherson Carbon Series Touring acoustic-electric guitar redefines what a compact instrument can achieve. Crafted from lightweight yet durable carbon fiber, this 3/4-size guitar delivers exceptional tone, depth and resonance through an innovative aramid bracing system. Its offset soundhole and cantilevered neck design enhance projection and sustain, while the carbon-reinforced neck ensures long-term stability without requiring adjustments. Whether played acoustically or plugged in using the onboard L.R. Baggs Element active pickup, this guitar offers a balanced, intricate tonal palette that suits a wide range of playing styles. Additional premium touches, such as gold frets and Gotoh 510 precision tuners, elevate its aesthetic and performance. Designed for ultimate reliability and tonal clarity, this instrument comes with a custom-fit SKB Deluxe hard case for safe transportation and storage.
Aramid Bracing System for Enhanced Resonance
The aramid bracing system in the McPherson Touring guitar is a key element in its ability to deliver rich, full-bodied tones in a compact frame. This innovative design optimizes the carbon fiber soundboard, providing a unique response and depth rarely found in guitars of this size. The result is a balanced sound with exceptional clarity, whether you're fingerpicking intricate passages or strumming bold, open chords. By minimizing unwanted vibrations and enhancing sustain, this bracing system ensures that every note rings true, making this guitar ideal for players who demand tonal precision and consistency.
Cantilevered Neck for Uninterrupted Vibration
The cantilevered neck design is another standout feature of this McPherson model, contributing to its superior resonance and sustain. By floating above the soundboard, the neck eliminates the need for a traditional heel joint, allowing the top to vibrate freely. This design enhances the instrument's tonal richness and volume, while also improving playability with its smooth "C"-shaped carbon fiber neck profile. Whether you're navigating complex chord shapes or executing fast leads, the neck's ergonomic design ensures effortless, fatigue-free playing. This thoughtful construction results in an instrument that marries tonal brilliance with unparalleled comfort.
L.R. Baggs Element Pickup for Amplified Clarity
When it's time to amplify your performance, the McPherson Touring acoustic-electric guitar features the L.R. Baggs Element active undersaddle pickup. Custom-voiced specifically for carbon fiber, this pickup captures the instrument's natural tonal qualities with remarkable accuracy. Paired with a discrete Class A endpin preamp, it provides a clean and dynamic signal, ideal for both live performances and studio recording. The system's design minimizes feedback while preserving the guitar's rich acoustic character, ensuring that your sound remains authentic and powerful in any amplified setting.
Carbon Fiber Construction for Long-Term Durability
The all-carbon fiber construction of the McPherson Touring guitar offers an unparalleled combination of strength and lightness. Resistant to temperature and humidity fluctuations, this material ensures consistent performance regardless of environmental conditions. The guitar weighs just 4.15 lb. and features a 1-piece carbon fiber neck, making it incredibly portable and easy to handle. Gold hardware and Gotoh 510 precision tuners add durability and refinement, while the composite saddle and nut enhance tonal accuracy. Built to withstand the rigors of travel and professional use, this instrument is as dependable as it is sonically impressive.
Acoustic-Electric Guitar for Musicians On-the-Go
The McPherson Carbon Series Touring guitar is perfectly suited for players who need a high-performance instrument in a portable package. With its 3/4 size, 22.75" scale length, and lightweight build, this guitar is easy to transport without sacrificing tonal quality. Its included SKB Deluxe hard case ensures safe storage and travel, while medium and low action saddles provide customizable playability.
