Nothing better than a guitar designed by a player

Tony Pereira receives his second Conti archtop jazz guitar directly from Robert Conti in person

The Road To Canada Is Paved With A Conti Heirloom!

Having enjoyed his Conti Entrada archtop for the past year and a half, Tony considered acquiring a second Conti Guitar, and he had his eye on our top of the line Heirloom model, featuring solid spruce top with solid maple back and sides. During a recent one-on-one video session with Robert, Tony (a resident of Las Vegas) learned that we were now down to our last Heirloom in stock, along with the likely possibility of no new inventory for at least 6 months. Without hesitation, he asked if we could have that last Heirloom ready for him to pick up, on an upcoming trip to his second home in Canada.
 
As indicated by the photo, Tony made a pit stop in East Idaho to take delivery of his gorgeous Ruby Red Heirloom featuring the exquisite gold finger tailpiece – thus becoming a member of the “Two Conti” Owners Club. Tony also left his Port Wine Entrada in our care, as our super talented technician will complete a factory upgrade on that guitar adding a second pickup.

“I stopped off in Idaho Falls and picked up my new Heirloom guitar direct from Robert Conti.  Anyone who has looked at the website knows that the guitars are aesthetically pleasing but I have never purchased a guitar because it is “pretty.”

What means more to me is playability.  Because Robert is a master guitarist, his guitars must meet the demands of a master player and that is the greatest benefit of getting one of his guitars.

As you play you do not want a guitar fighting you.  If you sound bad playing one of his guitars, trust me, it isn’t the guitar.

This is my second Conti Guitar, I purchased my Entrada last year and have used it professionally on gigs and it never failed me nor failed to get compliments on look and sound.  I wanted the Heirloom to get a solid spruce archtop with 24 frets.”

“Loving the new ax haven’t put it down! It arrived in perfect shape and plays like a dream. The sound is amazing. Nothing better than a guitar designed by a player. The photo of me in action with the Entrada was taken at the Italian American Club in Las Vegas. 

The guitar played like butter and people loved the sound of the ax. One person said it played itself! On keys is Joey Melotti (Barry Manilow’s MD), Blaise Sison (Family Stone MD) on bass, and Jimmy Racey on Drums. Irina Nero is singing.”

There’s only one thing better than having a Conti guitar and that’s having two! I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a second guitar for traveling and once again, thank you Robert, Mike and staff. In the mid 70’s I had a black beauty Les Paul that was my favorite guitar but in the mid 90’s we were separated and I could never find a guitar I liked as much. When I received my first Black Conti Guitar, it reminded me of the past so I bought a second (Sunburst) and life is good again! Thanks for a

“Robert, Thank so much for your video and the kind words! The Entrada is a beautiful instrument that sounds and looks GREAT!! You have great taste. You have touched all the bases with this guitar. I uploaded a song I hope you’ll enjoy. I will try to get a pic as soon as I can. Remember, I’m over 80 yrs old and I don’t have the chops I used to have. I still have fun though. You have certainly come a long way from shining shoes and becoming a fine musician.  If I was in any way an inspiration to

Plays so smoothly…Outstanding Customer Service

My Conti Entrada plays so smoothly and is so BEAUTIFUL too. Thank you for providing outstanding customer service. Including the personalized video of Robert Conti playing my actual guitar was so SPECIAL. No other guitar company has ever provided this HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED customer service. This was one of the best online guitar purchases that I’ve ever made. Thanks Mike for answering all of my questions and assisting with my patience during the building and processing period.
