Overview

This 2019 Stephan Connor Constructor Concert Classical Guitar (#392), named Quantum, is one of the finest lattice-braced guitars I have had the privilege of playing of his - and Steve sets the bar high! Built with bearclaw European spruce and jaw-dropping Brazilian rosewood, it combines dazzling clarity and brightness with the trademark biting basses that define Connor’s voice.

His guitars are played by some of the most celebrated artists of our generation, including the Assad Brothers, Anabel Montesinos, Eliot Fisk, Scott Tennant, Judicael Perroy, An Tran, Angel Romero, Denis Azabagic, Marco Tamayo, and many more.

Playability & Sound

Stephan Connor is a seasoned guitarist himself, and this comes through in the comfort of his necks. Few makers produce necks as consistently effortless to play. This guitar features a thin, C-shaped profile paired with a precise low setup. Combined with the raised fingerboard and integrated armrest, it offers outstanding comfort for long playing sessions.

The sound is equally impressive:

Trebles: Bright, sparkling, and lyrical
Basses: Deep with the trademark Connor “bite”
Balance: Seamless and even across registers
Projection: Concert-level power with wide dynamic range, from delicate pianissimo to commanding fortissimo

Authenticity & condition

This guitar is in near-mint condition, with only the most minimal signs of handling. A pickup system was once installed and later professionally removed, leaving almost no visible evidence.
