Conti Guitar Worldwide Owner Comments

Prior To Receipt: Wow! Thank Robert for the detailed info!! I can’t wait to get my hands on the guitar. I’ll be sure to give it glowing press when I get it. I’m going to use it for a 40 bar jazz solo that I’m working on for my new CD. I’m sure it will be one of, if not my main guitars. Appreciate the video and your awesome playing, CDs and instruction you’ve put out, as they all have had such a huge impact on me! I’ll be sure to let you know about the guitar. I’ve been pointing some of my students to your product The Precision Technique. One guy got it and loves it! Trying to talk others into it. Most are beginner students. Anyway, thanks again for doing that video! After Receipt: I just got the guitar home. I’m simply blown away at how fantastic the

The Conti Heirloom guitar is an absolute dream; stunning looks, incredible action and rich warm jazz tones. The smaller body, as compared to a traditional archtop, makes it ideal for the gigging musician; all while retaining a surprisingly robust acoustic sound. This is an extremely versatile instrument that I cannot seem to put down. A true work of art. Dan Ennis – Houston, Texas www.DanEnnis.com

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!! Rob Goldsmith – Las Vegas, NV www.robgoldsmithguitar.com

“I purchased my Conti Entrada used about a year ago. I was looking for a smaller body archtop, and it fit the bill. I quickly discovered what an excellent guitar they are to play. In addition to being so ergonomically copasetic, with a 16″ shallow body, the layout and playability are first rate. Perhaps the best aspect is the tone. While a thinner body obviously won’t deliver the same degree of low end as a deeper body, you don’t miss it. It has enhanced clarity across all frequencies without sacrificing warmth. They sound even better plugged in – where the tone really comes to life. They are easy to play and exceptionally responsive instruments, as well as well built and pleasing to the eye. All this at a remarkably low price, given what you get. I will be experimenting with the ebony bridge, but can definitely commend the balanced projection

A 2024 Birthday Wish from Tony’s Wife, Lisa Gay To the Sweetest Man I have ever known, “Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Tony Drake”! Yes!! Not to mention one of thee most respected Session and Touring Guitarists in our Music Business for 54 years!! Tony was the driving force for me to return to my singing and record our debut CD “Watch What Happens” with Mark Cargill and Greg Cook that took us on a journey that has me “Smilin” and so Grateful to this Day! Whether you knew him as Family, Acquaintance, Friend, “Fishing Buddy”, Brother, fellow “Musician Cat”, or simply enjoyed listening to his Special Style of playing Classic R&B, Jazz, Blues, Pop n’ Rock on recordings or Live, you can be assured that “Mr. Big Stuff” is watching from above while eating his “Popcorn” and cheering us all on with the Best that is yet to come:-)I

First, the punch line: After a month I’ve concluded that this guitar is not a substitute, surrogate, or compromise for that more expensive jazz box that one longs for and cannot afford. This IS the guitar of one’s dreams. I’ll be as brief as I can. I have many guitars. But no real jazz guitars. I don’t play much jazz, but sometimes want to go there, and somehow my .strandberg* just isn’t right. I try to stay away from retail stores because there is ALWAYS something that catches my eye. But, I needed a set of strings and since I was near a store, I stopped by. As usual, I looked at used wall. There was nothing interesting. Walk away. Quickly. But… what’s that? Needing a ladder to get to it, there was a red wine archtop high on the wall. Conti? What’s a Conti? I’d never heard of them.

Just received my new Robert Conti Entrada via FedEx, a day ahead of schedule, within four days from America; great service and beautifully packed, perfect condition – real credit to Robert and his boys. It’s an absolute beauty! For a slimline, the acoustic sound is amazing in terms of clarity and tone. Very playable and highly recommended; wonderful value for money. -Anthony Gilsenan – Ashington, UK

“The guitar plays effortlessly, the slim neck and articulate Kent Armstrong pickup make for a guitar that practically plays itself. All this is nothing without the insane set up and action on this model – Mr. Conti wasn’t lying when he said this is as good as it gets! I couldn’t be more pleased with this guitar and the service! Ordering American guitars to the UK can be a lot of stress, especially when it’s a guitar you haven’t tried out, but the whole Conti team treats you like family and the family feel alongside the quality of their instruments and extremely reasonable prices is something really special!” – Alfie Dean, United Kingdom @_alfiedean See a short video clip of Alfie playing his Entrada:
