Default Sold: McPherson Touring Honeycomb Gold Package for Gibson

I am the second owner of this guitar and have had it a little over a year. I don't use it as a travel guitar, which was my intent. Have the bug for a new to me Gibson and looking to trade. I purchased two blank black saddles and a blank black nut from McPherson thinking I would change them out, but have not done so. They are included in the package. Some swirl and pick marks on the top, but it's basically indestructible.

Honeycomb finish
Gold EVO frets
Gold Schaller tuners
McPherson hard case (newer ones don't come with hard case any longer)
McPherson soft bag
McPherson strap
Feedback buster
Both white McPherson saddles
2 blank black McPherson saddles
1 blank black McPherson nut

I currently have a 2018 Gibson J45 Vintage and a 2017 Gibson SJ200. Would love to trade for a J185, Hummingbird or Dove, but open to other interesting Gibson offers as well. Always been interested in the True Vintage lines.

That's a beauty. Do you know when it was made?

That would match my Sable very nicely, what would you sell it for? No trades.

Just yesterday I picked up my Touring (exactly like the one for sale here) after not having played it for some time. I was amazed out how loud and resonant it is.

I really think that the seller will experience remorse and the buyer will find this guitar to be a keeper. These little guys are so comfortable to play and they don't sacrifice a thing for their size.

Even if not travelling, what better couch guitar that can just lay around ready to be played without concern for humidity (or lack thereof)?

I hear you, Tony. It is a fantastic little guitar. Unfortunately, the gas bug has bit. I’ve been thinking about moving it for months now and haven’t because I’m sure I’ll regret it.

You will. Also own the original CA Guitars Cargo, and to me, the Touring is what the Cargo would have been, had it been allowed to fully develop.

Anyway, good luck with the sale or trade. I wish you well in your guitar travels.
