My 2012 Conti Equity in Blonde is right at the top of my favorite guitars of all time . . . and I’ve owned them all in 50+ years of professional playing. The fit and finish is exquisite, with action that provides just the right amount of “bounce” off the strings to make it a dream to play. As someone who plays barehand fingerstyle, two big features that my Conti shines at are pickup response and string spread in the right hand. The pickups have just the right amount of thump in the bass while giving me a smooth top

Unpacked it Friday, still admiring it, playing it, admiring it, playing it, etc. The Equity matches your description in all ways, the photos really don’t do the guitar justice. Came through in great shape, you guys know how to pack ’em. Also thanks for the DVDs and the tuner, much appreciated! Best wishes to all, continued success and thanks again.

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
Knew I had to have another…
“After purchasing my Ruby Red “Conti Salita” model guitar in May of 2017, it was obvious I had finally found the perfect Jazz guitar for me. I never wanted to be without it and I knew I had to have another. I wondered that if I was so impressed with the mid-priced Salita model, what would the top of the line Heirloom model be like? So I ordered one and I am SO glad I did! My new Antique Sunburst “Conti Heirloom” model guitar exceeds all expectations for a pro level Jazz guitar! The superior build quality and attention to
