Elegantly comfortable to play with both arm and rib bevels. Indian Rosewood back and sides, paired with a Sitka Spruce top. This guitar’s aesthetic is as unique and diverse as its musical timbre.

This 2012 Dreadnought from Jordan McConnell is, simply put, a powerhouse. Strength, this guitar has in spades, and balanced from bass to trebles for both the fingerstylist and the flatpicker. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pair up with Adirondack Spruce on top, and the rosette is a stunning example of Jordan’s intricate mosaic work bounded between Abalone circles.

Add to CompareBrand New McConnell 15 Inch, Padauk/Moonspruce
Winnipeg’s own Jordan McConnell has wrapped yet another jaw dropping build with 15 Inch Model #073 in Padauk and Moonspruce. Madagascar Rosewood appointments at the bridge and fretboard, plus a multiscale setup of 26 1/4” to 25 1/2”; and twin arm & rib bevels for creature comfort (note how Jordan created a braided effect with layering the Madagascar on the arm bevel). Then there’s this Padauk-Moonspruce combo. A distinctive voice that’s unique even by McConnell standards, we find this beauty has a glassy evenness across the range that mixes up gorgeously; notes ringing out clearly and without stumbling into each other. A light smattering of treble overtones cast some added color and presence, and pair up with a crisp bottom end. This is a fingerstyle phenom.

Add to Compare2021 McConnell 15 Inch, Brazilian Rosewood/Swiss Moonspruce
So begins the next epoch of Jordan McConnell’s career in lutherie. With this 15 Inch Model, #071, Jordan will no longer be accepting orders from clients. Instead, he will be exclusively building instruments according to his own aesthetics and voice. We are so grateful to have been a part of his process for so many years, and it is an immense honor for us to continue to offer these new, completely Jordan creations, to you. As you’ll see, #071 is a fitting start. Here’s Jordan:
“This is the first guitar to have been entirely built in my new studio, so I wanted it to be special. The top is master grade Swiss Moonspruce cut in 2004, and the back and sides are chosen from some of the first sets of Brazilian Rosewood I acquired back in 2002. The Curly Spanish Cedar neck was from the very first order I placed with A&M Wood Supply in 1999, as is the Ebony fretboard. By choosing some of the oldest wood in my collection, I wanted to reach back to the beginning of my career while at the same time showcasing the direction my building has been moving in the last few years, both aesthetically and sonically.
With the smaller body and 12-fret neck join on this guitar, I chose to revisit the influence that the classical builders have had on my instruments and really dive into the intimacy and emotion that is inherent in this configuration, while still building in enough power and volume to dig in and have some fun.”Other keywords: joran mcconnell, fingerstyle, dadgad, fanfret, fanned fret, multi scale, multi-scale

Add to Compare2016 McConnell 16 Inch, Brazilian Rosewood/Swiss Moonspruce
This is what happens when you put the best materials in the best hands—two sets of hands, in fact. Our 2016 16 Inch McConnell is one of Jordan’s masterpieces in Brazilian Rosewood and Swiss Moonspruce, and Jordan paired up with Jimmi Wingert for an inlay package of vines and birds. What a feast for eyes and ears. A multiscale setup from 26.25” to 25.5” further accentuates the presence and drive of the bass response, while keeping a measure of sweet warmth to the mids and trebles that balances intimacy with power.
The Mahogany neck is satin finished, feeling like the touch of an old friend, with a smooth setup to match. The arm bevel is slim and unassuming for creature comfort without taking away from the generous curves of Jordan’s build. Incredibly figured Brazilian Rosewood—these are the kind of brick-red hues that we associate with some of our all-time favorite BRW guitars. The tuners are a custom number from Rodgers with White Pearl buttons and gold hardware that sets off the Jimmi Wingert marquetry and Jordan’s geometric backplate.
It is an honor to offer this masterpiece, but we’ll caution you: it won’t last long. Give a shout to make this one yours.Other keywords: joran mcconnell, fingerstyle, dadgad, fanfret, fanned fret, multi scale, multi-scale, exclusive
