As an acoustic guitar player, you might be skeptical to the idea of a guitar not being made out of wood considering that tonewoods have a significant impact on the guitar's overall sound. To impart more of a wood-like acoustic voice while allowing for temperature- and humidity-resistance, the McPherson Touring Carbon model was designed using a patent-pending carbon fiber body and bracing system that was painstakingly tailored to give this guitar the warmth, dynamic range, and power that you'd normally only expect from a premium wood guitar.

Love this thing
I have one of these and adore it. It doesn't sound like a D28; it does have a little of that carbon fiber twang; but given those things, it sounds absolutely wonderful for a little travel guitar. People play it and go "holy smokes, the bass is so rich, the top end so clear." Set up is great. Shorter scale affects me less than I thought it would; I actually was sure it was full scale at the store till I compared it. I do have to adjust my technique just a bit for neck work but it's subtle, totally worth the compromise. This thing weighs about 7 lbs in the gig bag, weightless compared to 17 lbs of my Martin in its case. Tuning pegs are smooth.
