The specific model I’m playing has a striking honeycomb pattern on the top. At first glance, this honeycomb pattern is incredible visually appealing.
Now, let’s get into some specifics on this stellar guitar!
So, as I mentioned earlier, this guitar is entirely carbon fiber (save for the tuning machines and a few other bits). This means the guitar is more durable and less susceptible to environmental conditions compared to a wooden guitar…perfect for outdoor or extreme condition playing!
As is tradition with McPherson guitars, there’s an off-set soundhole on the Carbon Sable. Additionally, this guitar also has a feedback buster and internal pickup.
The bridge, saddle, and bridge pins are all-composite, bolstering the durability of this guitar.
Now that I’ve spent some time talking about the body, I want to dive into the neck of the guitar because there’s a lot of great stuff going on here.
The McPherson Carbon Sable has a composite nut which is 3/4″. I think this size nut is perfect for comfortable playing. In addition, the neck has a shallow or low-C profile. I especially love the neck because it has a smooth satin finish. I never get hung up or stuck on the neck because of the finish.
Another awesome feature of the McPherson Carbon Sable is the cantilevered neck. This means that the fretboard extension hovers over the top of the guitar, rather than being placed directly on top.
This results in the top of the guitar having the maximum vibrating surface — truly opening up the sound.
Thanks to this design, the guitar produces a ton of sound. Usually, with carbon fiber guitars, I find their sound to be stringy and treble-heavy.
That was not the case with the McPherson Carbon Sable. This guitar is incredibly balanced. I found the bass to be very resonant, the treble strings clear.
With just a light touch, the guitar was freely offering a very robust sound.
