Jordan

Maker John Jordan has a habit of finding beautiful and unusual woods to make his instruments out of, and this gorgeous burled Rambutan violin is no exception.

Exceptional tone for this four-string Jordan electric violin is provided by the Barbera Twin Hybrid bridge, for a strong, rich output that's great for acoustic styles and uniquely well-suited for high-volume situations and high-gain effects.
