The McPherson Carbon Touring in the honeycomb-pattern carbon top with gold hardware is McPherson's three-quarter-size carbon-fiber travel acoustic that punches well above its weight. The smaller body makes it an easy plane companion and a comfortable couch guitar, while the all-carbon-fiber construction and cantilevered neck deliver McPherson's signature warm low end, dynamic range, and long sustain in a more compact voice. The offset soundhole opens up the top for added projection, the compensated nut and saddle keep intonation tight up the neck, and the L.R. Baggs Element pickup system gives a clean, direct amplified voice. Equally at home on stage, in the studio, or strapped to a backpack.
