There’s no one single guitar that’s perfect for every situation, but this like-new 2017 McPherson 4.5 “Camrielle” comes extremely close. The snappy, crisp bass response and Brazilian Rosewood clarity make chords really pop off the fretboard, and be it fingertips or flatpicks we found the voice focused, clean, and capable of conveying a wide dynamic range. An excellent choice for both vocal accompaniment and a fiddle, the extra bite and projection from the Adirondack Spruce top gives this McPherson a powerful, energetic response that easily fills the room.
Slipping into DADGAD territory, we found a softer side. Played gently, the Camrielle offers up mellow overtones and a bass tinged with warmth. It’s refreshing to find a guitar so at ease with different kinds of attack, and one that plays so easily. We can’t recommend this McPherson highly enough: it’s beautiful lfrom all sides.

This is the first Camrielle model that we have seen from McPherson. It is their top-of-the-line guitar, and the voice is absolutely stunning. With a slightly smaller body, there’s more control and balance. This one has the best of everything. There's a wonderful shimmer that sits on top of a rich fundamental. One of the finest McPhersons I've seen for some time. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
