Just wanted to thank you Brian for facilitating the purchase of the 1970 Martin D18.  I didn’t intend on buying anything that day and appreciate your help on getting it done.  Thanks again! Pass along my thanks to the Luthier who took a look at the guitar and say hi to the rest of the crew down there, a friendly bunch they are. 

Hi, Just want to say “thank you” to Brian and friends for making my purchase a wonderful experience, from pointing out the guitar that suits my needs at the moment, to accessories.

Hello Grant. Just want to let you know that my banjolele arrived on Monday afternoon, so the postal strike didn’t hold it up too long. I’m delighted with the quality craftsmanship of the instrument and I was right that the shorter fingerboard is much easier for my 81 year old hands! So, here’s a shot of me with it in my studio with my dog Dusty laying beside me. Now just to harden up my fingertips and loosen up my finger joints! (Dusty loves it too!)
Thanks for everything.

Best. John.

I had the biggest surprise of my life for my birthday: the guitar of my dream (I tried in Madrid last October).  I never thought it would be mine.  It is an EXTRAORDINARY FLAMENCO GUITAR; the sound is just amazing.

I came to Twelfth Fret with an all original 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean which I had purchased online. The guitar was barely playable, would not tune and was just a very expensive disappointment. After a consultation with Scott, he came up with a plan to see if this guitar could be brought back to life. After great communication, Scott put his skillful hand to work and gave me back one of the greatest guitars I have ever played!
I went from totally disappointed with this guitar, to it being one of my favorites. I don’t know how Scott did it, but unbelievable. Great communication throughout the process, incredibly skillful work, and most of all just a real desire on Scott’s behalf to bring this thing back to life as best he could. I went from having totally given up, to very boastful to own this guitar. Completely blown away.

Absolutely no hesitation bringing any future projections to Scott and the rest of the staff. Thank you so much!

Mike, I just wanted to let you know that the Thunderbird arrived safely just now.  It got stuck in customs in Chicago for a couple of days (the post office told me that it always happens that way with everything that comes from abroad) but eventually got on its way again.  Anyway, it is here now and is beautiful and plays like a dream.  It sounds great through my amp, and not surprisingly, sounds just like my 1976 Thunderbird.  I was delighted at how light it is too.

Thanks again!
