Rather than follow the designs of the past, Matt and Mander McPherson re-examined every portion of the guitar. They found that placing a guitar’s soundhole in the center of the soundboard eliminates a vital area for vibration and resonance. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExperimenting with different soundhole locations and bracing patterns led to several technological breakthroughs, all with the goal of increasing tone, projection, and resonance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis McPherson MG 3.5 was made in 2009. The MG is the \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoriginal McPherson 6-string jumbo body. It takes the tonal qualities of a dreadnought style guitar and enhances the richness and essence of that big, boomy sound while improving the clarity and articulation. This MG 3.5 features a Port Orford Cedar top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. McPherson's 3.5 size is 3.5\" deep at the end block, and the tapered, shallower body gives the guitar \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003etighter bass and more emphasized mids.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis 2009 McPherson MG 3.5 is in nice condition all around. It has a small ding on the  treble side of the top, near the edge of the lower bout. McPherson's unique soundhole position is intended to\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e increase the flexible surface area on the central part of the instrument. By allowing vibrations from the bridge to travel directly across a longer unencumbered soundboard, there is an increase sustain and resonance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you look closely you will see that the fretboard on this McPherson is not connected or glued onto the top of the guitar, similar to some archtop guitars. This cantilevered design allows the top to vibrate and resonate to its fullest potential. Inside the neck is a triangulated system which stabilizes the neck and eliminates the need for adjustment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis 2009 McPherson MG 3.5 includes its original hardshell case, and it has an LR Baggs pickup installed under the hood. It's an impressive instrument that showcases both McPherson's unique designs and high-level craftsmanship. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MhScsKNlt7U?si=A0PFra7bbl2a6Ipa\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838742454591,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G22055569","price":2749.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/2009McPhersonMG3.5_1363_-Detail05.jpg?v=1782094581","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/2009-mcpherson-mg-35-1363","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
