Let’s just say it was love at first sight. I received my new Blonde Entrada with the Midnight Package and two pickups exactly one week ago. Therefore, if your are in the market for a slim body jazz guitar, I highly recommend that you consider purchasing the Conti “Entrada”! I am very pleased with the guitar and the entire purchase experience. The intonation was perfect and there was no fret buzz.Ĭonti guitars earns “5 stars” in my review. Upon bringing the guitar to standard tuning, I was surprised at the richness of tune for a hollow body archtop with a body depth of less than 2 inches. Robert advised in the video that prior to shipping string tension would be dropped a whole step. The accompanying gig-bag was more than ample to protect the instrument, and, with the two shoulder straps allowed the ease of carry as a ‘back pack”. The packaging was first rate and the guitar arrived “without” a blemish. Upon arrival, I let the guitar sit for a few hours (as recommended by Robert) to allow the guitar to acclimate to the Florida climate. In the approximate 30 minute video, I came to believe that Robert was putting out the best product at a very reasonable price compared to his competitors.
His share of having lived in Ponte Vedra, Florida was quite warming. In closing, the video was very personal appearing as if I were in the same room talking to him. His explanation as to their use and impact on tone quality was educational. I chose the Gold Finger Tailpiece with string tensioners. The video contained a discussion of the Kent Armstrong Pick Up (single), control knobs, Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge with Ebony base.
It was a great resource for hearing the guitar’s tone along with very specific information about the guitar’s materials and use of the hardware. Within 2 days of shipment I received a wonderful video of Robert playing the exact guitar purchased. They assured me that the Guitar would be forwarded via UPS, packed and stored in a very secure box and insured. Patience was more than exemplified by both Mike and Steve. From the outset I spent a lot of time with your team member Mike guiding me through all of the options available for this beautiful instrument and finalizing the payment of the purchase price.
Thank you for the wonderful purchasing experience of this new Robert Conti “Entrada” archtop guitar.
