Buyer Assurance Video

Let me just say, wow. I knew that I was going to receive a personalized video, but I must say that I am very impressed with the care and time put into this, as well as the values and integrity that Bob and the company have shown toward delivering this instrument to me. For him to refer to my prior emails, many of which were years ago, was very kind and considerate and relevant. I was grinning ear to ear watching the video of Bob playing what was his guitar and what will soon be mine when it arrives tomorrow. It’s a pure delight to hear Bob play.

As I mentioned, in a prior email, I played an Entrada last week, and I was amazed at how well it played. I was visiting a buddy in Minnesota and we saw one used in a store. I was just so impressed with it. My buddy remarked how good I sounded playing Take 5 and playing licks I learned from Bob, so I had to go on your website to see what you had. I wanted to buy directly from you, and I preferred the wood, finish, and full-size pick up on this model you are sending over; the one I played with mini humbuckers and a Sunburst finish. Regardless , it played strikingly good and made me want to play and play and play.

Yes, I am a player, And have acquired a number of jazz skills, including licks, chords, arpeggios, melodies, and knowledge of songs, and even have some recordings under my belt. But I’m not really a true jazz player yet. I haven’t put it all together. But as I get older and find time. Bob is a great mentor and I’ll get there eventually. Thanks for the time and care put into the set up and video and I greatly look forward to receiving the guitar.

After Receipt Of Conti Entrada

I love the guitar and its playability and it has inspired me to practice more. I love playing it and am thrilled to have one of his own guitars. He has been so helpful to me as a teacher. It is a wonderful guitar that was played by one of the true greats that I hold in highest esteem.

Playing melody is a dream – the instrument really sings

“My playing technique is adapting to the Entrada (finger style a la ” Chet ” with a “Fred Kelly BumbleBee Thumb Pick”) – it seems it’s all about the ‘very light touch’ on this instrument. Playing melody is a dream – the instrument really sings – the pitches have a beautiful natural sustain (actually a glow) – very piano-like. Harmonics are crystal clear. Four voice chords remain in tune in the upper region of the neck (beyond the 12th fret). So far I’m just playing it as an unplugged acoustic – which works very nicely for me. I’m also working

Thank you for being you – I love the books , DVDs and the Conti Guitar is unbelievable. I would like to thank Mike for getting it in my hands around my busy travel schedule and the guitar tech who set it up. It’s true, I unpacked it and tuned it up and it played perfectly. You have no idea how long I have dreamed of being able to play chord melody but until I began your program I really didn’t make any real progress. Thank you!

Better than higher priced boutique guitars!

I absolutely love this guitar! The video you sent by Robert was fantastic and really brought my thrill level to it highest. The guitar arrived yesterday in great condition as the packing was fantastic. Everything Robert said in his video is true as to a certain magic to this guitar!  Notes pop out with unreal ease and the tone is amazing. The only time I felt a neck that said play me and a magical feeling was back as a very young kid at an old Italian guy’s shop on Kenmare Street, NYC! Tells you my age and those that
