“Right out of the box the Entrada played perfectly. Low action with great tone. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the guitar.

Here’s a photo of me with cheesy grin occasioned by my new Conti Guitar which arrived safe and sound, only 4 days Las Vegas to New Zealand! Beautifully packed—might spend some time reading the Las Vegas newspapers! First impressions are of a beautifully finished instrument, the fret polishing is impeccable. It even has that new guitar smell! Going out to the local guitar shop to buy a new strap, won’t insult it with a tatty old one. Buying a guitar sight unseen is always a time of mild stress, will it be what they claim? Will the neck be a small tree trunk, etc.? I read all the patrons’ comments and went ahead. Guess what? They were all right on the nail! It’s a pleasure to play and is beautifully styled. I will never achieve Roberts level of playing but I’m going to have huge fun trying! I always wanted a Gibson Byrdland but even the Epiphone version was twice the price of the Conti in New Zealand. How great to have a thin bodied archtop at such a reasonable price. Thanks to you all for a very efficient deal and thanks to Robert for coming up with such a fine instrument at such a price. Keep up the good work!

Smooth neck and great action
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
