The McPherson MG 4.5 with Bear Claw Sitka Spruce over Black Hearted Sassafras has arrived at Heartbreaker Guitars. This guitar is positively drop dead gorgeous. Don't let the good looks fool you though. This is a McPherson Masterpiece through and through. With the cantilevered fingerboard, off set sound hole, and the overpass/underpass bracing, this MG 4.5 delivers endless sustain and clarity.
Blackheart Sassafras is native to Tasmania. Although it looks a lot like Myrtle, its actually a wood that is quite versatile. Considered very responsive and similar to Walnut and Koa, the Sassafras is extremely responsive to the lightest of touch. Don't worry though... you've got bags of headroom on this cannon! The Bear Claw Sitka Spruce finishes the tone with a vibrant "spank" to really bring out the McPherson clarity we've all come accustomed to.
