Michael Canyon – Compton, CA

I’ve played the Conti Guitar in a big band setting (18 piece) playing 40’s swing and in a sextet. I really liked it for the longer gig because of its light weight; it didn’t dig into my neck after hours of playing. It is very comfortable. I like the feel of the neck and it is an attractive instrument. I own 26 guitars, both archtop and hard body and the Conti is in my top five to gig with. I have appreciated the professionalism Mr. Conti has shown with all of his products. (I’m a repeat customer, and proud of it!) I’ve met him at a couple of trade shows and he is warm, friendly and sharing. I may not be getting much better but I sure feel good about playing Conti’s songs, both from his books/tapes and from his Just Jazz Guitar submissions.

Best guitar I’ve ever owned!

Feel like I am their most important client!

What a great guitar! I have bought a lot of guitars, and I have to say I have never encountered a seller/manufacturer who cares this much about satisfying their customer. I feel like I am their most important client! Thank you!  This jazz club is up 20+ stairs. Nice to finally be able to bring a single guitar to play the gig – standards, funk, blues. Love the guitar!

Tim Chandler with his beautiful double pickup port wine Conti Entrada archtop jazz guitar

Top-notch and unequalled by any other guitar company

This is a great guitar! It is as advertised and then some. It is right up there with the best I own and play, regardless of price – this is #54 for me…how many guitars do you need, anyway? The answer is always, “just one more” This was a 2 pickup Entrada that had undergone some damage to the body – expertly repaired, with no effect on its playability or long-term durability – I have to look close to see where. As all my guitars have dings, scratches, etc. on them from playing and my clumsiness, I had no hesitation
