Just received my new Conti Guitar last night. It's one of the most beautiful thing I've even seen, and it beats my Gibson ES-335 and Epiphone Broadway in every way. Being a small-handed player, it's very hard to find a right guitar to play. The sound, design, hardware, finishing and craft are all in...

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 want to thank you for yet another amazing guitar. The gorgeous Ruby Red Conti that I've added to my collection not only looks, but plays beautifully! And yes, the wife loves it too.

I've had my Conti 7-String Equity Custom since May 2013 and I am very happy with this guitar. The neck is somewhat wider than most other seven string guitars. This is not unpleasant, but only takes a little while to get used to. The construction of the neck, where it hits the cutaway is very clever...

Just had to say thanks for the mention at the beginning of the Ticket To Improv, Vol. 3 DVD. It was so cool to hear you talking to me and thanks so much for the compliment you gave me as well. By the way, you're very welcome for me letting you use my guitar for the video! The more I play this Con...

It was indeed a pleasure to meet both of you at our hotel in Las Vegas. The CONTI GUITAR meets my expectations and is truly a fine guitar for me and a real friend to keep my goal of being a wannabe guitar player. As I promised, enclosed are some pictures of me and my new BUDDY! Beryl sends her regar...

I wanted to play Jazz guitar for many years. But a thirty year Navy career came first. Just could not find the time to dedicate the hours of required practice. I am 65 years old, retired, and finally have the time. I have only been playing serious for about 6 months. I found the Robert Conti instru...

The guitar arrived in one 1 week after the order, exactly as stated! The craftsmanship is superb and a lot of attention has been paid to details. The woods are high quality and the neck is really fluid, not too fat or too slim. The strings rest very nicely and evenly throughout the length of the fre...

My first impression of the guitar was WOW! It is truly beautiful and it plays like a dream. Smooth and sweet. The tone is gorgeous through both the Fender Princeton and the Johnson Millennium. I love it through the Roland 120 setting on the Johnson. But I am just using the Fender for practicing. It ...

I received the guitar. It's was delivered in perfect shape. It was seen and heard by virtually everyone at the [National Guitar Workshop] campus, about 300 people. I was excited about it, and carried it on my back or played it every night of the week. I would have put a www.robertconti.com sign on...

I've played the Conti Guitar in a big band setting (18 piece) playing 40's swing and in a sextet. I really liked it for the longer gig because of its light weight; it didn't dig into my neck after hours of playing. It is very comfortable. I like the feel of the neck and it is an attractive instru...

Mr. Conti, It was an absolute pleasure meeting you last week. I still can not believe you and Mike hand delivered the guitar to me in person at my hotel in Las Vegas, NV. I've had a few days to play it and the "Conti Guitar" plays like a dream and sounds as beautiful as it looks. Your guitar will...
