SOLD! This is another amazing guitar from Jordan McConnell. This one was custom built for one of our clients after he played one and just had to have a McConnell. Jordan is one of the hottest builders on the scene today, having quietly built dozens of guitars for his fellow touring musicians such as Seth Avett and John Doyle. Jordan also plays in the group the Duhks. As a touring pro he knows what musicians need from an instrument and boy does he delivery. Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller is awaiting his second McConnell SJ, one that will surely be his main axe.

Player Reviews:
"Jordan McConnell is to me the most exciting builder to come on the scene in some time. His designs are refined and elegant with traditional elements. His background includes studying with Romanillos and touring professional with the group the Duhks. In my opinion Jordan captures the open, modern voice that players want like few other builders have. Big bass response paired with trebles that can easily keep up, making for a versatile guitar that can really do it all! From the strongest strumming to the most sublime fingerstyle, a McConnell is a tool for the serious musician." - Paul Heumiller
