This “Heirloom” is quite simply one exquisite modern jazz guitar & I am absolutely delighted with it. Out of the box, having shipped several thousand miles, a slight tweak of the G string tuning was all that was needed as the set up by your guy is perfection. What was quite unexpected however, given the relatively thin body depth, was this instrument’s beautiful acoustic sound — it truly ” sings” with a perfect Jazz voicing. Harmonics ring clear at every harmonic fret & again surprise, given the 24 frets fingerboard, the 23rd & 24th frets rang clear & true across
Perfect from headstock to tailpiece…
I am so happy with my new Conti! Every aspect of it is perfect from headstock to tailpiece. All top quality components. The neck is amazing and the set up and string gauges are superb. The included case is better than I expected as it is a hard gig bag that offers great protection while still being lightweight. The company was great to work with, and the personal video from Robert is something I will keep forever. I’ve been a professional guitarist for 50 years and this is the finest guitar I’ve ever owned. Top shelf quality at a very reasonable price. Can’t thank you enough!!

I hadn’t picked up a guitar in months. Arthritis had arrived with age and at 82 years I missed making music. Then I read about the special attributes of the Blondes, and the special features in their make-up. I did truthfully however still have some fears. I put them aside, and Mike was doing everything possible to get the Blonde to me before the VAT (tax) increased in the UK. All went to plan, the guitar was in my hands, and I was playing again. My hand could grasp the fretboard, my fingers were able to find the chords which
