#1766 McPherson 4.5 Port Orford Cedar/Pau Rosa Acoustic Guitar Demo
www.soundpure.com This gorgeous McPherson 4.5 Guitar has a Port Orford Cedar top with Pau Rosa back and sides. The Pau Rosa is a hardwood from South America, which is very dense and has a tone that falls between Rosewood and Ebony, while the sound of the Port Orford Cedar is similar to a warm spruce top. The wood grain is absolutely stunning. Thanks to John Garris for showing that the #1766 McPherson sounds very full and has a mid-range that really shines with his killer blue grass licks. Don’t hesitate on calling our Sound Pure Guitar Boutique staff for more information regarding this fantastic acoustic guitar. 919.682.5552

@yhcnoR No worries at all! It’s bluegrass, how many scales do you need!?
@soundpurestudios hey man, i was just joking, this guy obviously is a very talented musician. i wouldn’t doubt his talent.
@yhcnoR Yes I believe he knows many scales. Sorry he didn’t play more in a demo video lasting 1 minute and 45 seconds.
@ozzie987 Actually, we tend never to position mics directly at the soundholes, as it often leads to a tremendous amount of low end woof, boom, or mud. The entire top on these resontate, so in some ways it creates more sonic flexibility depending on how much string noise you are after, or trying to avoid. That being said, these McPhersons get similar effort in terms of mic placement as the other guitars we record, in order to really optimize the sound. Thanks for the comment, we can chat more!
How does the positioning of the sound hole affect the you in which you mic the instrument? Do you find aiming at the mic’s at the solid body actually picks up more of the resonance and tone of the wood, rather than aiming directly at the soundhole? If that has had no processing (post) then i am loving the lack of boomyness, but still lots of nice even tone in the low’s.
does this dude know any other scales?
@fedec16 Thanks for watching! I agree, this guitar does sound pretty amazing. If you rustle up the dough and want to get one of your own, give us a call!
Sounds amazing. Too expensive.
