Fretboard action is silky smooth

David Hall with Conti Heirloom Archtop

This “Heirloom” is quite simply one exquisite modern jazz guitar & I am absolutely delighted with it. Out of the box, having shipped several thousand miles, a slight tweak of the G string tuning was all that was needed as the set up by your guy is perfection. What was quite unexpected however, given the relatively thin body depth, was this instrument’s beautiful acoustic sound … Read more

“I really love this new guitar, it is a dream to play, the ebony fret board is so smooth and the low action really helps me when playing some of the harder piano style voicings built in thirds.

I felt that he would not sell a guitar with his name on it if it was not a great guitar. So when it came I played it in my studio and realized … Read more
