The Assad brothers, Eliot Fisk, Marco Tamayo, Anabel Montesinos, Scott Tennant, Angel Romero and many others constantly choose to play Connor guitars in their concerts around the world. Countless young professionals are also choosing his instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eConnor guitars have been known for many years now for being outstanding lattice braced guitars, that are both very bold and powerful, but also woody, colorful sounding, and aesthetically beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIn recent years, Stephan Connor has been building some double top guitars that are equally, if not more convincing than his \"standard\" model. They feature the responsiveness that doubletop guitars often bring, while still maintaining the \"Connor\" sound that his instruments are known for: tons of power, sustain, color, and outstanding playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis instrument also features a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eremovable\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\"tornavoz\" - device, usually made from either wood or brass that is fit inside the soundhole. This lowers the main air resonance of the guitar and produces a bigger, deeper sound in the bass. I personally have found it to be fascinating and inspiring to experiment with. Also, with the signature Connor guitars magnetic sound port cover, you have near endless options as a player to achieve the sound you're looking for. This is something that I hope Stephan continues to make!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThis guitar is named \"Petra\" and I have to believe it's named after the historic archeological site in Jordan, that is believed to be the home of a civilization from 300 BC, because the spectacular set of Madagascar Rosewood near-matches the color of the city!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eCedar doubletop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eMadagascar Rosewood back and sides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eRaised Fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e640mm scale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e52.5mm nut width\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eRemovable Tornavoz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIronwood saddle + Bone saddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eMagnetic soundport cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eAgain, while this guitar is unavailable, Stephan will be building instruments for my shop from time to time, so please write if you'd like to reserve the next!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guitar Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50616302797092,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1543\/9652\/files\/IMG_62852.jpg?v=1746310576","url":"https:\/\/guitarcollection.myshopify.com\/products\/stephan-connor-cedar-madagascar-doubletop-2023","provider":"Guitar Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
