I purchased a McPherson carbon series touring model last fall from The Acoustic Shoppe in Springfield MO. I originally went to acquire a Journey OF660. There was no comparison in sound, playability or workmanship between the China made Journey and the USA made McPherson. The cost was higher of course but did get a soft case and very nice hard case too. Mine has a limited edition “lost camo” finish job made famous with their Mathews bow line which I also am a loyal fan of.
I find the feel is very comparable to my Taylor 814ce so switching back and forth is seamless.
As a side note I made the mistake of playing some of their handcrafted wooden guitars and was in awe of the sounds from them. Have had serious GAS dreams since on how to pull off that purchase in the future.
