I Love My New Entrada! The 24-fret neck and shallow cutaway allow easy access to the highest register of the guitar. At half the depth of my old archtop, it’s easy to wrap my elderly right shoulder around. The spot behind the bridge where my hand rests while playing is comfortable. Gives me a consistent pick stroke across all strings. Beautiful antique sunburst finish. Smooth neck and great action. Ebony pickguard is thick and secure. Happier with that than I had expected to be. (I took the pickguard off my big ol’ archtop.) Plays so much better than my full-bodied
Craftsmanship and specs of this guitar are well thought out
My experience with Conti guitars is different than most owners. I knew nothing about the company. I came to my guitar walking into a local guitar shop and seeing it hanging on the used guitar wall. Upon initially seeing it, it was right up my alley taste wise regarding the type of guitars I like, although I thought it was going to be very expensive because as we all know…these guitars could pass as high end boutique guitars. After the pleasant price tag shock, I took it home. The craftsmanship and specs of this guitar are well thought out; I really appreciate that it’s a full 2 octaves with an ebony fretboard. I wanted to change the bridge & tailpiece to the ebony ones as mine came with the metal ones. And this is what really impressed me with Conti guitars…as a second owner…the customer support is still strong. These guys really stand by their guitars. I love this guitar for my vintage type R&B, soul & jazzy tones.

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
