Found the perfect electric guitar…(UK)

Dave poses with his beautiful new Port Wine Lefty Conti Entrada Archtop Jazz Guitar

The superb Conti Entrada was received extremely well packaged through FedEx International ahead of schedule. The supplied gig bag provided a safe and secure environment and the guitar was revealed in perfect condition.

Once tuned, the Entrada played perfectly, no adjustment was needed to the intonation or playing action. The fret ends and fingerboard were exquisitely finished as was the tailpiece and headstock. A nice touch is the volute on the reverse of the join between the headstock and the neck. A sign of a quality instrument.

The body finish is perfect with the stain revealing the attractive grain through the lacquer. Played acoustically, the tone is rich, consistent and surprisingly loud, very satisfying! Plugged in to a Roland Jazz Chorus combo, using the clean channel with no effects, there is a charming, well rounded acoustic feel which is perfect for the music I currently play (jazz vocal/guitar duo – Fitzgerald/Flack/Streisand style) in a lounge environment. It is particularly pleasing that the pick up voicing is perfectly adjusted for left handed use, so all strings sound at the same volume.

All in all I have found the perfect electric guitar after many years of searching. Many thanks to Conti Guitars.

And that neck is like glass with great action!

Blown away at how fantastic the guitar is!

Prior To Receipt: Wow! Thank Robert for the detailed info!! I can’t wait to get my hands on the guitar. I’ll be sure to give it glowing press when I get it. I’m going to use it for a 40 bar jazz solo that I’m working on for my new CD. I’m sure it will be one of, if not my main guitars. Appreciate the video and your awesome playing, CDs and instruction you’ve put out, as they all have had such a huge impact on me! I’ll be sure to let you know about the guitar. I’ve been pointing

James Hopkins on the beach with his new Sunburst Conti Entrada Archtop Guitar

It is a dream to play…

“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 love the gold hardware with the sunburst effect, combined with the dark ebony fret board, it looks so classy. I’m destined for beautiful jazz when playing this amazing Conti guitar. I took it to the local technician to adjust the action slightly due to a little bit of fret buzz, caused by the long journey here. When I collected it, we
