You knew it was only a matter of time before McPherson would provide the world with the absolutely peerless and chrystalline tones of their acoustic instrument in a 12-string version. The stunning quilted maple sides and back are the perfect companion to the flawless Sitka spruce top.
Chords strummed on this breathtaking guitar continue to sustain until stopped by the player; otherwise, they would just continue to ring forever. This guitar (like the rest of the McPherson line) must be felt and heard in person to do this description any justice at all.
Just as a side note: this is the only new 12-string McPherson available for sale in the country right now. The next offering is rumored to be available in three or more months; we have the only one right here, right now.
