Default Want to Buy: McPherson 3.5/4.0 Rosewood/Spruce (potentially redwood)

I am looking for a very specific model of McPherson.

Size: 3.5 or 4.0 (4.5 may be considered, but last size preference)
Type: MG or XP
Top Woods: Sitka or Engelmann (Redwood is also an option, but spruce is primary)
Backwoods: Indian Rosewood
Condition: Mint or near mint is preferred, but open.

I am not really looking for any other wood combos. I have plenty of referrals on both this forum and TGP if needed. Please let me know what you have.

Can pay cash or have a John Mayer strat and Bad Cat Cub II as trades plus cash if interested.

Email is preferred over private message, but will look at both.

Chaddywac,

I had read that. I remember the days when some would regularly go for
3500 and up on the used market.

Hopefully the used market will not skyrocket as fast as the new ones! Time will tell.

I have played several mcphersons, not one with cedar. Bet it is just as great as all the others.

Would absolutely look at doing a deal, but I already have that combo. Really want a Sitka or engelmann.

Another bump. There are a lot of great exotic models out there, I am simply looking for the basic rosewood - spruce or redwood top combo in a 3.5 preferably.

I am guessing used 3.5's are hard to come by. Tons of 4.5 and 5.0's
