of course endorsements are a dime a dozen for free guitars, i suppose. |

Location: Orlando, FL | Pretty! I have always wondered how the McPhersons sound and play. I've never seen on in the flesh, or in the wood... |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I got to play Paul Baloche's MG3.5 rosewood last November - suffice it to say that a custom McPherson is on my short list after that. Beautiful craftsmanship, cool design, and serious sustained tone. Way better than any Taylor or Martin I've ever played (sorry Tup...limited experience ;) ). That, and the unique wood combinations they offer as "stock" models, I think is just too cool to pass up. Of course, you could get a nice custom Adamas slothead for about two thirds of that... |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I've not played them a great deal, they sounded OK to me, but I didn't really have enough time with them. It seems like the sound should be half way between a round hole and archtop. I like the Collings better.
My point to Randy was this. Take this guitar and a $5000 Collings and try to sell each 2 years from now. You'll probably get more if not all back from the Collings. The McPherson, you don't know. |

Location: ms | I posted a while back about them. At that point i had used one a few times , it was ok. By now i`ve used them a fair amount and for myself i don`t see what all the fuss is about. They are well built, super nice case but i have a Breedlove OM travel guitar that sounds as good to me and i got it for what the taxes would be on a McPherson. |
