The McPherson MG 4.5 is a bold statement in modern acoustic design — a guitar that merges jaw-dropping aesthetics with world-class engineering to deliver an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically commanding. Built with a mesmerizing California Redwood top and dramatic Macassar Ebony back and sides, this MG 4.5 is a perfect representation of McPherson’s commitment to innovation, tone, and unparalleled craftsmanship.

California Redwood, prized for its unique blend of warmth, responsiveness, and crystalline clarity, sets the tonal foundation — blooming with rich overtones and an expressive dynamic range. Paired with the dense, striking beauty of Macassar Ebony, the result is a voice that is powerful, articulate, and effortlessly complex. This is an instrument that fills a room with presence and nuance, equally suited for delicate fingerstyle or soaring, percussive strumming.

True to McPherson’s reputation for forward-thinking design, the MG 4.5 features a cantilevered Khaya neck, allowing the top to vibrate more freely for maximum resonance and sustain. Inside, a Rosewood/Spruce/Rosewood brace kit provides the perfect balance of structure and flexibility, while the unidirectional high-modulus carbon truss system ensures stability without sacrificing tone.

Visually, this guitar is a showpiece. Flamed Koa binding elegantly frames the body, complementing the Macassar Ebony headcap and backstrap. A tasteful Koa inlay on the headcap and a sleek Wave inlay on the ebony fretboard add just the right amount of artistic flair without overwhelming the organic beauty of the woods. Gold Evo frets and Gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines offer luxurious detail, while the ebony bridge and bone nut and saddle round out the classic-meets-modern aesthetic.

Equipped with an LR Baggs EAS pickup system with volume control, this MG 4.5 is ready for the stage or studio, delivering its breathtaking voice with clarity and authenticity in any amplified setting. With a comfortable 25.5” scale length, 1 3/4” nut width, and a body depth of 4 1/2”, it offers an ideal playing experience for discerning players seeking both comfort and power.

Weighing in at 5 lb 14 oz and housed in a custom Ameritage hardshell case, this McPherson MG 4.5 is more than just an acoustic guitar — it is a masterful blend of art, science, and soul. A modern masterpiece for those who demand the extraordinary.
