The McPherson MG 4.5 is an absolute powerhouse of sound, fully complimented by the pairing of Sitka Spruce with Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. The brilliant overtones of the Sitka are perfectly balanced by the rich, warm clarity of the Tasmanian Blackwood, leading to a reactive and brilliant sound.
Tasmanian Blackwood is an exotic tonewood whose timbre adds quite a bit of midrange focus, in addition to a sparkling high end. Additionally, its grain and color make for one of the most striking choices for a back and side wood!
The subtle design elements of McPherson Guitars are fully on display with the MG 4.5. Equipped with McPherson’s signature offset soundhole and cantilevered fingerboard, the soundboard is allowed to resonate freely without the impedance of the neck directly touching the top wood. Additionally, the MG 4.5 boasts an incredibly well-balanced tonal spectrum; low frequencies are deep and resonant, high frequencies are responsive, clear, and bright, and mid-range frequencies are subtle and unobtrusive.
