Having recently purchased the Conti jazz guitar, I must say there is no equal. The innovative 24 fret neck challenges any jazz player to think beyond the traditional fretboard. The neck's thin line construction gives the player an immediate fluid feel. Whether a flurry of notes or the strike of that...

I just received my Blonde Conti Equity Edition guitar. All I can say is wow, what a beauty! It arrived lightning fast, just a few days from the time of order, and played like a dream right out of the box! A work of fine craftsmanship from the solid spruce top, solid maple sides & back, to the Mothe...

The guitar is fantastic, fits like a glove, is beautifully finished and really built for speed. I have been trying out the gu...

As I write this, I can see my new Conti, natural blonde, single pickup, guitar sitting in its guitar stand. I'm at a loss for words in telling you how beautiful it is. For me, the 17" body is the right size for a jazz guitar. The scale length, 24.6 inches, fits my hand better than the 25.5 inch, an...

There's only one thing better than having a Conti guitar and that's having two! I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a second guitar for traveling and once again, thank you Robert, Mike and staff. In the mid 70's I had a black beauty Les Paul that was my favorite guitar but in the mid 90's...

Thank you for being you - I love the books , DVDs and the Conti Guitar is unbelievable. I would like to thank Mike for getting it in my hands around my busy travel schedule and the guitar tech who set it up. It's true, I unpacked it and tuned it up and it played perfectly. You have no idea how long...

My Sunburst Conti is a dream guitar and the light weight is a real key factor for me as I had trouble standing for long periods with a full size archtop. This one made all my fellow muso's jealous with its smooth tone and great feel. Thanks Robert and the Conti team, the support has been fantastic a...

By the way, you're very welcome for me letting you use my guitar for the video! The more I play this Con...

As a teenager, my first real guitar was a used Gibson ES-295. I played it to death and then very proudly bought a new 1964 Barney Kessel model. I have since owned every archtop Guitar in the Gibson catalog. My favorite being the L-5 Wes Montgomery model which I still own . Since I consider you m...
