You’d Be Smiling Too…

Ralph takes a moment to snap this photo of this beautiful new Conti Entrada thin body archtop jazz guitar

…if you were holding this beautiful instrument. My Entrada is exactly what I was looking for in a new guitar. Great tone, easy to play, gorgeous, and affordable. Pictures don’t do it justice – the combination of the Port Wine finish, gold hardware and inlays is stunning. I selected the dual pickup version, where I can dial the Entrada to either a smooth jazz sound or a more bluesy and even country style. It’s also much lighter than my previous semi-hollow archtop, which helps in how easy and fun it is to handle. Mr. Conti’s video showed that my Entrada performs beyond anything I’ll be able to pull from it. I want to thank him, Mike and Steve for all of the great customer support they provide, both in the purchase of the guitar and for the courses available from the Robert Conti website. If you’re looking for a great jazz guitar that’s both elegant looking and a joy to play, get an Entrada – and then you’ll be smiling too!

  1. 4/25/23 – April 2023 is Jazz Appreciation Month. I’d like to express my appreciation to Robert Conti for both the wonderful guitars he has designed and the excellent jazz guitar courses he has created. Since receiving my Entrada I am using it to work through Volume 1 of the Ticket To Improv course. I can’t say I’m speeding through it, but I am enjoying each of the projects in it.

    So in recognition of Jazz Appreciation Month, congratulations Robert on your outstanding career as a jazz musician as well as being a provider of outstanding jazz guitars and courses.

I received the guitar on Wednesday as promised. I was completely blown away by its appearance. I did not anticipate that a blonde guitar would have the darker brown highlights on the neck. Also the inlay fret markers are stunning and really light up in bright light. The neck is fantastic. I now think I can keep up with Robert with his amazing runs on the guitar. The action is incredible. I have rock guitar, a Music Man Axis Sport which is known for their necks and it is great but I can play even faster and with more control

It is so easy to play…

“My new Heirloom arrived safely in Norway some days ago and I couldn’t be happier! It is an incredible guitar. It was thoroughly packaged and the support and follow up from Conti Guitars was top notch so I felt in good hands all the way. Also very special to have a personal video from Mr. Conti himself playing and advising about the guitar. The sound is so inspiring and it is so easy to play it is incredible.. Highly recommended!” -Skjalg Reithaug – Norway

Far superior to a $5,000 archtop I sold…

October 2024 Update “I have to say that over the last 3 years, I’ve had at least 10 guitars of varying styles. From archtop, to Les Paul, to Telecaster, and from various manufacturers. But the finest guitars I’ve ever owned are my Conti guitars. I’m partial to the aesthetics of my wine-colored Entrada (the pic doesn’t do it justice). The sound of my blond Heirloom is extraordinary. And the antique burst Entrada is a treat when I feel the need for a traditional looking archtop. But they all sound fantastic in their own right and are easily the most playable
