NCFGD McPherson Sable
I finally took the plunge on a carbon fiber guitar and I am so happy that I did. My primary acoustic for the last four years has been a Taylor 314CE, a fantastic guitar. However I must say that for me, my new guitar - McPherson Carbon Sable Honeycomb Gold - is going to by my primary acoustic from now on. I'm just blown away by the sound, the way it plays, it is a perfect fit for me. The neck as far as the feel is very much like the 314CE and both are 1 3/4 at the nut, which is the size I love for fingerpicking. So, Happy NCFGD (was actually yesterday) to me!

Congratulations!
Is this brand new, or did you snag a used one?

Excellent. Care to share what lead you to consider and purchase a CF guitar?

Congrats Kenny ! To quote the famous Kramster, "You did good" I love my Sable too...best CF guitar I have owned. Let us know if you experiment with strings and find anything better than the Elixir Nano 80/20 Mediums, I haven't yet. I may try some SCGC low tension next change.

Another aspect that I considered was resources for wooden guitars are limited and some species of wood are getting harder and harder to acquire. So sustainability certainly comes into play. I personally think a properly built CF guitar rivals if not exceeds traditional wood built. Last edited by KennyEC; 01-06-2021 at 11:58 AM. Reason: Syntax |

I love the way these look. Would love to try one someday. I’m fairly sure my next guitar is going to be carbon fiber, but it is a toss up between this on and the Emerald X30.

To anyone who would like to try the Sable: I don't know where a lot of people are located, but I am in East Tennessee (Morristown to be exact) and I would be happy to meet anyone at a local park when it warms up a little bit and let them try out my Sable should they want. Just send me a message. I would request that you wear a mask (actually a county mandate) and sterilize before handling the Sable. |

Congrats Kenny, nice buy, and you will enjoy being able to play care free in parks etc..
As to strings, I tried PB Elixir which I tend to favor and they came off pretty quickly as they didn’t do it for me. Back to 80/20’s and have been happy. About time to change again and might just do the SCGC parabolic but not sure yet. Enjoy getting to know this awesome guitar.
