MG 4.5 Mun Ebony & Tunnel 13 Redwood

Sale price$14,900.00

An immaculate combination of tone wood, this build brings together a tonal combination that’s both sonically striking and genuinely rare. The Tunnel 13 redwood top, salvaged from old-growth timber and naturally aged over decades, delivers an immediacy and openness that feels broken-in from the first note. Paired with Mun ebony, the voice gains a powerful sense of clarity and headroom, strong projection, and a focused low end that never gets muddy. This is a responsive guitar equally suited for nuanced fingerstyle and dynamic, full-range playing. A standout piece for players who value both tone and rarity. Congrats on this custom build Russell!

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.
