“My Conti Equity is a super sweet machine. It’s kinda like a Byrdland with one pickup. Being a big old guy, the big boxes, though I have several, are sometimes uncomfortable. This fits much better.

Thank you Robert, for taking the time to develop this guitar and Mike, for your great service and

Very low action, fast neck, surprising sustain, beautiful aesthetics, and lightweight – you can play it at home without an
