Second Entrada: June 8, 2023 When you purchase a guitar online without actually seeing or playing it, you take your chances. After buying my blonde Conti Entrada guitar, I knew what to expect. Once again, I received an excellent guitar and outstanding customer service. My new Port Wine Conti Entrada is everything I expected, and it sounds as beautiful as it looks. The guitar came set up perfectly. The intonations were spot on and the action was as low as I could possibly want it. Even though I now have two Entradas, there are some subtle differences that give each
Top-notch and unequalled by any other guitar company
This is a great guitar! It is as advertised and then some. It is right up there with the best I own and play, regardless of price – this is #54 for me…how many guitars do you need, anyway? The answer is always, “just one more”
This was a 2 pickup Entrada that had undergone some damage to the body – expertly repaired, with no effect on its playability or long-term durability – I have to look close to see where. As all my guitars have dings, scratches, etc. on them from playing and my clumsiness, I had no hesitation in buying it and I’m glad I did. It really is “like new” to my eyes. It arrived set up perfectly, I needed to do absolutely nothing! The intonation was perfect. It has a very nice, sweet tone and is as easy to play as the best of my other guitars. The pictures on-line are nice but the guitar in-person is even better! It is my very first Conti and it is all too likely it will not be my last!
I can’t speak highly enough of the whole buying process and the customer service. It is top-notch and unequalled by any other guitar company I have dealt with over the decades. A wonderful personal touch is the video from Robert Conti playing my guitar prior to sending it out, as well as the follow-up call from Mike a few hours after delivery to ensure everything was satisfactory. Thanks for making a quality guitar available direct, at a reasonable price. It’s a keeper and a real value!

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
Everything I Expected

Reminds me of my Benedetto Bravo without the sticker shock…
Finally had a chance to sit down with my new Conti Entrada guitar. After owning several hundred guitars since 1967, I have owned every kind imaginable. Here is my first impression: The guitar is very well designed and built. Nicely appointed, and the setup was spot on. The sound of this guitar, as with any good guitar is determined by the guitar itself but also what you drive it through. I usually play through a Fender tube amp like the Blues Junior. The sound of the Entrada Conti guitar is well balanced and very sweet, on the warm side. Amazingly
