You are looking at a 2005 McPherson MG 5.0 XP acoustic with a Natural gloss finish on a Cedar top with incredible flamed walnut back & sides, flamed koa binding, matching flamed koa headstock overlay and built-in LR Baggs! The unique off-set sound-hole is only one of the many features that sets this guitar apart from acoustic builders. FYI, the 5.0 means this body is 5” thick, and the XP means this has a larger sound-hole than the standard version. I actually find myself wanting to keep this one! Ugh… occupational hazard I guess! The guitar plays with incredible ease, and the tone is beyond words! This does come loaded with the factory original LR Baggs electronics, so you can get an equally natural organic tone while amplified. She’s 100% original and we just put on a fresh new set of 12-54’s, so she’s all dressed up and ready to rock!

She just celebrated her 19th birthday and has been very well cared for. This guitar has only been owned by a collector client of ours, who has many high end guitars. Subsequently, this one did not get played much over the years. It is in excellent condition with only a few tiny light surface impressions on the top, which are only visible with direct reflective light. Also included is the original and VERY NICE hard shell case with humidifier, just as shown in the last picture! Whoever brings this baby home is going to be completely STOKED!!
