That’s a gorgeous guitar and I bet it sounds absolutely amazing. Give us a tone report once you’ve had some time with it. I believe Jordan no longer accepts orders on commission’s?

All 3 McConnell's I have played have left me speechless. He's is definitely a unique steel-string builder. Congrats on your new build, and enjoy in good health.

Congratulations. Beautiful guitar. I particularly like the bridge. He accommodates the multi-scale design and still keeps the overall bridge level with the lower bout. I think this is a superior aesthetic compared to the traditional slanted bridge.

You are right he is no longer accepting orders for builds. Lucky for me that I had sent a deposit several years ago and waited my turn to come up, a once in a life time guitar purchase. I gave Jordan full freedom in the aesthetics of the guitar. we had some discussions over a few years before he started the build and I went for his 15" with 12 frets based on his input, I am glad I did go with his recommendations especially after listening to the one he built for Dream Guitars. I love the smaller body 00 and the 12 fret moves the tone into the sweet spot. Jordan's tone on his instruments are equal to his amazing aesthetics. I think the best is yet to come from him.

I want to thank one and all for the nice accolades they are greatly appreciated.
