Current Pricing

Please Note:

If the Entrada was offered through the traditional distributor/dealer network of Big Box stores, you could expect to pay 2 to 3 times our direct pricing. By offering our instruments exclusively through our website, there are no middlemen and you can obtain a great archtop at an unbeatable price.

Tired of hearing jazz improv on your rock guitar?

Mid level laminate archtops tend to be stripped of features that matter to players. We believe you won’t find another instrument with the feature set of the Entrada at such an affordable price. Additionally, your new Entrada is fully inspected and set up to Robert’s specifications prior to shipping. As part of our first class service, you will receive a video wherein Robert Conti performs with, and introduces you to your new guitar – a truly personalized experience you’ll never forget.

Vince Lewis, Pro Player/Educator

"The Entrada is a versatile instrument but obviously designed by a jazz player who has made a career playing other brands of high-quality archtops and finally decided to combine all of the features of importance to him in his own house brand."
