Making McPherson Carbon Series Guitars
A good acoustic guitar has always been the province of handcraftsmanship and wood — spruce, rosewood, mahogany, ebony, and the like. But trees take a long time to grow, and environmental awareness and scarcity have led to the adoption of modern materials in the extremely traditional guitar industry. McPherson's Carbon Series acoustics use carbon fiber and modern manufacturing techniques in place of wood, but there's still a lot of specialized handwork that goes into each one.
