Buyer Assurance Video

Let me just say, wow. I knew that I was going to receive a personalized video, but I must say that I am very impressed with the care and time put into this, as well as the values and integrity that Bob and the company have shown toward delivering this instrument to me. For him to refer to my prior emails, many of which were years ago, was very kind and considerate and relevant. I was grinning ear to ear watching the video of Bob playing what was his guitar and what will soon be mine when it arrives tomorrow. It’s a pure delight to hear Bob play.

As I mentioned, in a prior email, I played an Entrada last week, and I was amazed at how well it played. I was visiting a buddy in Minnesota and we saw one used in a store. I was just so impressed with it. My buddy remarked how good I sounded playing Take 5 and playing licks I learned from Bob, so I had to go on your website to see what you had. I wanted to buy directly from you, and I preferred the wood, finish, and full-size pick up on this model you are sending over; the one I played with mini humbuckers and a Sunburst finish. Regardless , it played strikingly good and made me want to play and play and play.

Yes, I am a player, And have acquired a number of jazz skills, including licks, chords, arpeggios, melodies, and knowledge of songs, and even have some recordings under my belt. But I’m not really a true jazz player yet. I haven’t put it all together. But as I get older and find time. Bob is a great mentor and I’ll get there eventually. Thanks for the time and care put into the set up and video and I greatly look forward to receiving the guitar.

After Receipt Of Conti Entrada

I love the guitar and its playability and it has inspired me to practice more. I love playing it and am thrilled to have one of his own guitars. He has been so helpful to me as a teacher. It is a wonderful guitar that was played by one of the true greats that I hold in highest esteem.

I love the Conti Equity – Robert chose the combination of features that has eluded everyone else. A solid spruce top on a thinline? With a deep cutaway? Yeah, baby! This instrument is a topshelf blend of art, science and genuine craftsmanship that is really easy on the hands, the back, and the eyes – and really difficult to put down. Inspirational – and more hours with the instrument in my hands makes me a better player. With this instrument, and The Source Code series, Robert Conti has provided the keys to the kingdom – Thanks!!!

David already putting his gorgeous Port Wine Conti Entrada archtop guitar to use on a classy gig!

Wonderful instrument, superb buying experience

Meet David Skinner, A Class Act! As with all things Conti, my new Entrada arrived on time, and the day after I watched the video of Robert ‘leading by example’ on it. As I got more used to the fingerboard and the balance of the instrument, my thought was that it plays itself! Notes just fly off. The tone is acoustic and warm, and the pickup worked great through my studio board (Audient preamp into a UA Apollo). I’ll use my Bose L1 compact at a gig tomorrow night…can’t wait! Thanks for a wonderful instrument and a superb buying experience.

Felt that I was in the store with them…

Dealing directly with Mike and Robert has made the buying experience seamless. Despite this being an online purchase, I felt that I was in the store with them. The videos online accurately showcase the sound of this guitar. The value in this instrument is apparent in the finish, quality of the tuners, pickup, fingerboard and playability. It is light (5.7 pounds), and comfortable, being 15″ and thin like a 335. It has enough volume to practice unplugged, and has predictable humbucker sound when plugged in. To make this a truly honest review, I would add a nitpick for future production
