Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
McPherson’s Carbon Series Sable is a full-size acoustic-electric built entirely from carbon fiber, with a 4-inch-deep body that weighs 5.45 pounds. The carbon fiber soundboard uses aramid bracing, while the offset soundhole and cantilevered neck are part of the guitar’s resonance-focused design. Its LR Baggs Element Active undersaddle pickup works with a discrete Class-A endpin preamp voiced for carbon fiber, so it is ready for amplified stage or studio use. Gotoh 510 Precision tuners, gold frets, and a camo top with gold hardware give this version its specific finish treatment.
