A guitar that looks and plays this good ought to be made illegal. It’s seriously distracting for our staff—how can you walk by this wonderful 12-fret from Jordan McConnell without stopping to stare (if you’re lucky), or sitting down to play a tune (if you’re even luckier). Work flow has come to a shuddering stop. So please! Help us out, take this prize fighter home with you!
This is the first 12-fret slot head McConnell we’ve seen (aside from Jordan’s Hauser model), and we’re impressed. Brazilian Rosewood and Swiss Moonspruce in his 15 Inch body, with a 12-fret neck for extra warm trebles? At the first glance, this femme fatale takes control. Jordan’s geometric inlay machinations sprawl across the top at the upper and lower bouts, and ring in the soundhole. Flip it over, and you’ll find the same motif at the heelcap and two rays on the bass side of the lower bout. Alessi tuners and Fossilized Walrus Ivory nut & saddle complete the picture.
Do yourself a favor, don’t let this one slip away.
