There may be no such thing as the perfect guitar, but this 2018 McConnell is just about as close as you’re going to get. Jordan’s unique brand of lutherie makes for some of the most inspirational guitars we’ve ever seen, and this 2018 16 Inch model does. not. disappoint. This is Jordan’s first African Blackwood guitar, topped with Swiss Moonspruce and trimmed out with matching arm and rib bevels. Spiraling along the fretboard and headstock (before swirling around the soundhole is a combination of Satinwood, African Blackwood, Ebony, and Madagascar Rosewood. Rodgers tuners (of course), French Polish on top for maximum resonance, and a fabulous example of Jordan’s carved bridge (here in Madagascar Rosewood). Oh, and then there’s the multiscale fretboard (26 to 25 inches) for dialed in ergonomics and intonation across a spectrum of tunings.
