The McPherson MG 4.0 XP is a masterfully crafted guitar designed for both performance and tone. The combination of Redwood and Madagascar Rosewood offers a bold, dynamic voice, with the Redwood providing warmth and power while the Rosewood contributes a deep, rich bass and shimmering highs. This creates a harmonious tonal range that’s equally suited to delicate fingerstyle playing and bold strumming.
The guitar’s construction is highlighted by elegant Cocobolo binding, adding a touch of beauty and durability. The Sapele neck ensures stability and smooth playability, while the Ebony bridge and fingerboard provide a firm and responsive connection to the strings, elevating the overall tonal clarity. Equipped with Gold Gotoh 510 tuners for precision tuning and an LR Baggs EAS pickup for seamless amplification, the MG 4.0 XP is a truly professional instrument.
A key feature of the McPherson design is its cantilevered fingerboard and offset soundhole. By not allowing the fingerboard to touch the top wood, the guitar allows the soundboard to resonate more freely, resulting in increased sustain and richer tonal depth. The offset soundhole further contributes to the guitar’s focused projection and unique tonal characteristics, making the MG 4.0 XP a standout choice for serious musicians.
