What could possibly be in a box from Wisconsin?

CHEESE!!!!!



If these contain the McPherson brand of Wisconsin cheese, I will be curious to read your impressions of them as compared to similar sized CF guitars, such as ... the Cargo. I played one of the very early experimental models that resembled the Cargo some years ago, but have not had that opportunity with the production models.

I have played a said experimental critter...
Any way.. what they have bows and arrows in them? Do I need a license? Will I shoot my eye out?

And now for something completely different (best said with an English accent)... the Sable is a member of the Martin family.

Pretty sure that carbon fiber NOR cheese requires time to acclimate... in case you decide to open the boxes in less than a few days. Whichever it turns out to be, should be fun to give it a try. One will be better than the other if you decide to deep fry it.

Here is a man with patience.

I'm getting something delivered later this week and it's going to need to sit in its box and warm up before I can open it. I'm antsy just thinking about the wait.

Two carbon guitars from up north, how can you stand the wait? As my young daughter would say, open them, open them!

McPherson went overboard on aspects of the carbon line such as the stiffness of the necks. Nice to see they are doing the same when it comes to boxing their hats and picks.
