What We Think

An absolutely exceptional used specimen! 

This Connor embodies so many different qualities that I appreciate in guitars in general. . . it's uncanny 

It's got a very clear, defined voice 

That's equal parts warm and dry 

It's contours jive perfectly with your body 

The guitar seems to want to position itself in just the right position for maximum playability and projection 

It's sensitive and responsive Englemann top make it approachable for a flat-top player 

But the overall tone, aesthetic, and voicing would please even the most traditional jazz cat 

A highly original work of playable art 

This guitar amazes me
