WTS: Mcpherson 4.0 Madagascar Rosewood / Port Orford Cedar

[mark1760]

Hi everyone,

I'm selling a 4.0 Mcpherson Madagascar Rosewood / Port Orford Cedar. It has a warm deep bass and a rich tone, thanks to the madrose back and sides. It is very responsive as well when fingerpicked.

You get beautiful, beautiful quartersawn madagascar rosewood on this piece, which is rare by any measure today. Very reminiscent of brazillian rosewoods in both looks and tone.

This comes with the 3 Buzz Feiten intonated bone saddles - these are original hand crafted stock from the factory.

Specifications
- Model MG 4.0
- Port Orford Cedar Top (its really like an Engelmann Spruce in tone, and not a true Cedar)
- Madagascar Rosewood Back and Sides
- Ebony Bridge
- Ebony Headstock Veneer
- Flamed Curly Koa Binding
- Bone Nut
- Ebony Fingerboard
- 14" Fingerboard Radius

1. how much are you asking? forum rules quite clearly state you should list price

2. why did you plagiarize a similar ad by swiftz07 and even link to the same youtube video. Is it the same guitar? if it is, maybe you should say so and mention what happened to the fmi saddle?

Hi,

You have made real good observation and have very good questions. You are correct. This guitar is the same guitar as the one posted by swiftz07. I got it from him previously. I feel that he has made a very good description of the guitar, hence I copied his wordings exactly as I am not able to describe any better than what he had.

In my first post of this guitar, swiftz07 did indicate that he was the previous owner of this guitar. Hence there was no intent to hide the truth. It just did not occur to me that I should mentioned that they are the same guitar. Thanks for clarifying

You are correct that this guitar does not come with the FMI saddle. During my trade with swiftz07, I did not opt the FMI saddle as I prefer the sound of the original bone saddle.

As for the price, feel free to drop me an SMS to enquire. I just prefer to keep it offline. It is quite a common practice by many sellers.

Thanks for your enquiry

Just wanted to add that I had given mark the go ahead to use my original pics and description which are true to spec of the instrument. I will be happy to send the FMI saddle to the new owner, if so desired since it was an option Mark did not desire and I still have it on hand, unused.

Mark is an absolute great guy to deal with, buy with confidence. Among all the madrose mcphersons I have seen this is prob the one with the best grain and figure. Reddish like braz and quarter sawn.
