For the last two decades or so I have been looking for a guitar with the following specs: thin body single cutaway jazz guitar, single pickup, good quality, good looks and above all affordable. I think I nailed it this time. I was browsing the web for the millionth time when I stumbled upon this site of Robert Conti. I immediately mailed them and they answered all my questions quickly and to the point. They even facilitated my indecisiveness on the bridge top: Gotoh T.O.M or compensated ebony. I got both. Since I live in The Netherlands, Europe I expected
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.

My Sunburst Conti is a dream guitar and the light weight is a real key factor for me as I had trouble standing for long periods with a full size archtop. This one made all my fellow muso’s jealous with is smooth tone and great feel. Thanks Robert and the Conti team, the support has been fantastic and it’s all a matter of practice now!
Plays and sounds as good as it looks
Robert and crew, I received my Conti Entrada archtop jazz guitar yesterday. My father, who is retired, kindly stayed at my house to receive the guitar from FedEx while I was at work. Just as I was leaving the office I got a call from Mike to make sure I received the guitar okay. The customer service with this crew is outstanding. There is nothing I can say about the guitar that hasn’t been said already. It is absolutely gorgeous and it plays and sounds as good as it looks. I didn’t want to put it down last night but
