McPherson guitars, valuing upwards of $5000 dollars, are what Rissi Palmer calls the "Bentley" of guitars. All McPherson guitars are handcrafted and one of a kind...no two guitars are exactly alike. What each guitar does possess is the signature McPherson revolutionary offset soundhole technology, state-of-the-art bracing, and cantilevered neck design, making it one of the most sought after guitars in the world.

"I was able to choose the color, the wood, and the sound quality based on my personal preferences. My guitar is made out of redwood and rosewood, which gives me the warm low end sound that I love. It has the best sound that I've ever heard from an acoustic guitar...and it makes you sound like you are the greatest guitar player, even if you're not! Besides, I'm excited to be in the company of music greats like Brad Paisley and Amy Grant Amy Lee Grant (born November 25 1960 in Augusta, Georgia) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her Contemporary Christian music and pop music, as well as an author and occasional actress.  who have also been endorsed by McPherson."
