Takamine JJ325SRC John Jorgenson Acoustic Guitar - Gloss Red Satin

In 1985 Dan Fogelberg released the groundbreaking progressive bluegrass album, “High Country Snows” and was touring with his “All-Star Bluegrass Band” featuring David Grisman, Jerry Douglas, Herb Pederson and Chris Hillman. The show I saw from that tour was amazing, but what I remember most from that night in Costa Mesa was the crystal-clean flatpicking of Dan’s relatively unknown acoustic guitarist, introduced as “local boy, John Jorgenson.”  Three years later I would find myself working with Takamine Guitars. Nine years after that, John Jorgenson would become Takamine Guitar’s 3rd signature model artist with two of their coolest models ever, the JJ325SRC and JJ325SRC-12.

In the interim, the versatile Jorgenson was keeping busy recording and touring with acts ranging from Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, to Barbara Streisand and Luciano Pavarotti. But it wasn’t until forming the incredibly successful ‘Desert Rose Band with Chris Hillman (inspired by their newgrass stint with Fogelberg) and his participation in a smoking, electric guitar trio called ‘The Hellecasters’  that the world-class wizardry of John Jorgenson would be revealed to the masses.
