Nice,but not $3.3k nice.
I know anything carbon fiber is costly, but I can c
get a great acoustic for much less coin.

McPherson Sable is not a lifestyle company...fuck em.

 

[Denverdave]

Good company - but not interested....

I looked up some McPherson's on reverb. Their wood guitars look like they go for up to $10K

Played one at NAMM last year. Nice, but I like the Emerald models a lot better, especially in the price range.

My favourite McPherson I played was a redwood model, but it was about $8k...

Damn that's high.

 

[Coralkong1]

Definitely not what I am looking for.

I have not played a carbon fiber guitar I've liked the sound of. I don't expect any different from this guitar.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I'd buy a CF guitar in a heartbeat if it played well.

I'd buy a CF guitar in a heartbeat if it played well.

...and I could afford it!

Like yourself, I've yet to meet a great fibreglass guitar.

I have, however, encountered some pretty fucking great-sounding fibreglass string instruments.

So I'm inclined to blame the guitar-builders rather than the material.

 

[LeftyTom]

Nope, pass.

 

[Flamencology]

For the record, I think that the guitar in the OP is simply unattractive, regardless of sound.
