McPherson Guitars
Camrielle
Designed with a slightly smaller body profile, the Camrielle is signified by a florentine cutaway. With a punchy mid-range tone and clear, bell-like voice, the Camrielle is slightly more comfortable for live playing and well suited for recording.

EXPERIENCE THE TONE
OFFSET SOUND HOLE
Believing that traditional acoustics could be innovated, McPherson introduced a revolutionary Offset Soundhole Technology. The placement of the sound hole allows for a lengthened and uninterrupted soundboard, amplifying vibration in the center of the guitar top. This also produces more volume and clarity in the ears of the player.
CANTILEVERED NECK
Every McPherson guitar features a Cantilevered Neck, which is not glued or connected to the top of the guitar, but instead floats above it. This design allows the soundboard area underneath the fretboard to vibrate freely, which increases the sustain of the guitar.
OVERPASS / UNDERPASS BRACING
McPherson’s unique Overpass/Underpass Bracing System creates a larger, more even space for the top to vibrate. The soundboard’s braces cross each other but never touch or inhibit vibration. This frees the braces to vibrate independently while still lending structural support and maximizing soundboard vibration.
CARBON REINFORCED NECK
The McPherson Carbon Reinforced Neck is praised for its incredible strength and stability and is built around the largest carbon fiber truss rod ever used on a guitar. Attached to the body with a triangulated heel design, it stabilizes the neck and virtually eliminates the need for neck adjustments.
McPherson DNA
Every McPherson guitar is hand-built in the U.S.A. with meticulous attention to detail.
From the cantilevered neck to the offset soundhole and proprietary bracing, each feature serves one purpose — to let the tonewood sing with purity and power.
TONEWOOD GUIDE
McPherson’s priority is to build the best sounding guitars possible, suited to each players preferences. The Tonewood Guide describes back-and-side tone wood’s tonal characteristics and each soundboard’s dynamic qualities.

The Camrielle features a slightly smaller body profile compared to larger McPherson models, with a 25½″ scale length and overall length of 41¼″. Its measurements include a 10¾″ upper bout, 9⅜″ waist and 15″ lower bout. This size gives the Camrielle a more maneuverable feel while still delivering full McPherson voice.
The Camrielle delivers a clear, bell-like voice with excellent articulation and sustain — ideal for fingerstyle, but also capable of full chord voicings. The smaller body helps the midrange clarity and makes it comfortable for extended playing.
Like other McPherson guitars, the Camrielle includes the signature cantilevered neck and offset soundhole (see McPherson’s design) which support enhanced resonance, sustain and clarity.
Additionally it uses premium tonewoods, and has a 14″ fretboard radius and 1¾″ nut width.
While specific combos vary by build, it is frequently seen with Sitka or Bearclaw Sitka spruce tops paired with East Indian rosewood or other premium back and sides.
This allows the Camrielle to combine warmth, clarity and projection in a refined body.
Yes. While the Camrielle is designed with a slightly smaller body that excels for fingerstyle, reviews indicate that it also handles light strumming and flat-picking well, offering good balance of tone and comfort.
If you play heavy full-force strumming regularly, you might still consider a larger McPherson body depending on your projection needs.
The Camrielle uses a full 25½″ scale length. It comes with a 1¾″ nut width and a 2 3/16″ string spacing at the bridge.
As with any premium instrument, string choice, setup and playing style will affect the final feel and sound.
All McPherson guitars, including the Camrielle, are handcrafted in the U.S.A. (Sparta, Wisconsin) using premium materials and precision construction.
McPherson Camrielle comes with a lifetime warranty. Some shipping fees may apply.
