Jan 30, 2020 Update! As Paul was so pleased with his first Port Wine finish Conti Entrada, he decided to join the Two Conti Club and add a Natural Blonde, with a mix of black hardware and the elegant Gold Finger Tailpiece. Especially unique to this instrument, Paul obtained a custom P90 pickup directly from Kent Armstrong and we had our shop technician set up his new guitar with this great sounding pickup. See his new comments below: “I’m always trying to recreate the sound of a guitar from ‘back in the day’ and this new Conti with the Kent

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 on the Conti guitar. I have an old fender concert tube amp which I had to add a Tech 21NYc and Digitec digital delay to to warm my other guitars. But with the Conti i just went straight into the clean channel and I am in Archtop heaven. I really think that with this instrument I will improve as a guitar player. As I may have mentioned before I am 64 years old and I play mainly to ward off senility while my wife likes to do crossword puzzles.
I also have to thank you for all the other learning materials you have sent me and for the tuner. Your company has always exceeded my expectations which is something I strive to do for my patients and I know this cannot be done without an incredible amount of effort and a real sincere concern for the customer, as well as the bottom line of the company. So In closing please tell Robert how pleased I am with this guitar and the way I have been treated by your company.

While on his way to visit family nearby, Ron Demone of Calgary, Canada receives a very special delivery of his new Conti Entrada archtop guitar!
Guitar is very well constructed…
Yesterday I received my Entrada Guitar in best condition. Thanks for your care and very friendly support along the whole process. I appreciate that a lot, since it is not very common these days. The guitar is very well constructed, very light and resonant. And a real elegant beauty in any case. For my personal taste the action is a little too low, because I play a lot of fingerstyle and am used to a higher action on my steel strings. I add a foto today and will send a short video some days later, when I have the occasion
