One of our favorite tonewood pairings: Flamed Koa and Bearclaw Sitka Spruce. This stunning MG 4.5 combines the unmistakable beauty of highly figured Hawaiian Koa with the power and responsiveness of a premium Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top. Koa delivers a rich, articulate voice with exceptional clarity and balance, while Bearclaw Sitka adds headroom, projection, and dynamic range. Congrats to Chris on this impeccable custom build!

This custom build, MG 4.5 Pale Moon Ebony & Swiss Moon Spruce, is a guitar that immediately grabs your attention. Together, these tonewoods create a voice that is clear, rich, and full of character. Notes ring with exceptional clarity, while the Swiss Moon Spruce adds warmth, depth, and a beautiful layer of harmonic complexity. Congrats to Jeff on a world-class instrument!

"I ordered a guitar from McPherson Guitar in August of 2025. I received the final built guitar on June 18th, 2026. Many people will consider McPherson a 'boutique' guitar builder. I am here to tell you that McPherson is NOT 'boutique' but is instead a high end craftsman shop with the sole purpose of building the next generation of acoustic guitars that rival Stadivaruius, Bosendorfer, and Steinway builds with respect to 'forever' lasting quality!  I expect in 100-300 years, a McPherson guitar that has been cared for like a Stadivaruius will be a deservedly, ridiculously expensive instrument!

I have owned high end Taylor guitars, have played high end Collins and Martin guitars...and I am here to tell you the guitar Mcpherson built for me is at a totally different level from what the traditional brand name guitar manufacturers are making!"

"By far the best sounding carbon guitar on the planet. Both the Sable and the Touring are amazing. I use my Sable in Arizona heat at events as well as travel with my Touring one and have not had any issues at all. Looks and plays amazingly! If you’re looking for something durable, that sounds amazing and looks great, search no more, McPherson carbon will be your best investment."

4.5 "The Tree" Mahogany & Ancient Sitka Spruce
This is one of two matching builds in the set, one MG and one Camrielle. The Camrielle is slightly smaller than the MG, denoted by it's florentine cutaway. Monday's post (6/8/26) showcases the matching MG build.

Crafted from a pair of the most storied tonewoods ever discovered, this Camrielle built with “The Tree” Mahogany and Ancient Sitka Spruce stands as a testament to rarity and uncompromising artistry. Sourced from the legendary “The Tree” mahogany - revered for its extraordinary figure, depth, and tonal richness - this instrument carries a visual and sonic character that simply cannot be replicated. Paired with a master-grade Ancient Sitka spruce top, reclaimed from old-growth logs long submerged in the cold, oxygen-deprived waters of the Pacific Northwest, Ancient Sitka spruce represents a rare convergence of time, environment, and material perfection. Tastefully accented with Brazilian Rosewood & Fossilized Wooly Mammoth tusk, this guitar is for the player who seeks not just an instrument, but a legacy piece.

Custom Build - MG 4.5 Mun Ebony & Tunnel 13 Redwood

An immaculate combination of tone wood, this build brings together a tonal combination that’s both sonically striking and genuinely rare. The Tunnel 13 redwood top, salvaged from old-growth timber and naturally aged over decades, delivers an immediacy and openness that feels broken-in from the first note. Paired with Mun ebony, the voice gains a powerful sense of clarity and headroom, strong projection, and a focused low end that never gets muddy. Congrats Russell!
