MG 4.0XP Beeswing Mahogany & Bearclaw Sitka Spruce
Made to order — ships in 4–5 weeks.
This guitar pairs a bearclaw sitka spruce top with beeswing mahogany back and sides for a voice that is clear, focused, and highly responsive. The Sitka provides a crisp, articulate attack, while the mahogany contributes a woody midrange, controlled low end, and excellent note separation. Together, the woods create a balanced, direct sound that excels at articulate fingerstyle playing and punchy, well-defined chord work. This is an exceptional guitar for performing as well as recording.

OFFSET SOUND HOLE
Driven by the belief that traditional acoustics could be reimagined, Matt McPherson developed the groundbreaking Offset Soundhole. By positioning the soundhole off-center, the central part of the guitar's soundboard remains longer and uninterrupted, enhancing vibration across the top. The result is greater volume, clarity, and a richer sonic experience for 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 the soundboard. 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.
