I am very grateful that you were able to personally go over the optimal conditions for the life time health of the instrument as well as the features. I am very excited to start practicing with this guitar and hopefully showing it off at some jazz gigs in the near future. Thanks for everything that went into constructing this masterpiece! ” Septem– Comments on Heirloom: “Thank you so much Mr. The high end sounds fantastic! The exterior design is marvelous as well, and I’m sure this will serve as my primary guitar for shows for the rest of my career. It sounds just as good or even better, I would say! Many other guitars with a similar output may cost a few thousand more dollars online or in guitar stores, but I can tell that this guitar is unique it has been carefully crafted in both exterior design and pickup capabilities to optimize playability and the bright bell sounds of jazz. It is fine for the volume ones toĪug– Comments on Solid Body Prototype “This solid body guitar maintains the nuances of the archtop sound of the Heirloom and Entrada models. The knobs are different from a classic LP setup. You have to play with the tone control to fine-tune the sound. Kent Armstrong pickups have quite a good output and can be a bit dark. As the whole body is mahogany, without a maple top, I think it influences (along with the pickups) that the sound is very deep and warm. It looks small but not as small as a Les Paul.
Very low action and a flat fingerboard makes it a butter to play. It is one of the best necks I have ever played. As Robert Conti said in the video it is the same as that of Equity. The single cut shape makes all 24 frets accessible. It is comfortable to play and well balanced. The combination of the black color with the gold pickups makes it look elegant and distinguished. My impressions: The design of the guitar is very nice. In a first inspection there was a couple of notes that had a buzz in the fret, but it is already solved. Once again, the Kent Armstrong pickups respond well, and as I was working through the possible This guitar utilizes the same neck as my Entrada, so the amazing feel and action was already in the package. I had heard months ago that there might be a solid body Conti in the works, and when I received an email that only five would be created, again, I had to have one. My bandmates love the look and sound of this guitar and I couldn’t agree more. This guitar is perfectly balanced and the gold hardware completes the package. I do not have this color on any of the guitars in my collection. Great neck, incredible action!! The Kent Armstrong pickups are very responsive and create a very warm sound responding to this body. First of all, I have always wanted an Entrada with two pickups, and when this one became available, I had to have it. I can’t say enough about these two guitars, but let me say a few things. Here is a picture of the newest guitars for my collection.

These instruments receive the same quality control as new instruments, including a full pre-shipping inspection and set-up, and our signature personalized “owner introduction video” wherein Robert Conti actually plays and introduces you to your new instrument! Making our demo instruments available at a substantial price reduction (when we are able to do so) provides folks an opportunity to acquire a high quality instrument at great savings. Although the subject instruments may have been played for only an hour or two, we always advise every potential purchaser of any scratches, nicks, etc.Although demo instruments are essentially still new, we do not return those instruments into inventory as “brand new.”.On a random timetable, new guitars are played by Robert or one of his assistants at a variety of events such as:Īlthough we exercise great care in handling our instruments, they sometimes incur minor cosmetic surface scratches that are usually imperceptible after buffing. To that end, we make efforts to discount guitars when certain events allow us to do so. However, even at our value pricing, the cost may sometimes exceed one’s budget. If our guitars were offered through the typical distributor/dealer network, the price would assuredly double, and in some cases actually triple. We are able to offer fully featured Conti Guitars at value pricing as they are only available direct from Conti Guitars.
