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.
I really like what you folks have done with the web site and now with this Newsletter posting. Please keep these things coming. Another reason why The Twelfth Fret is just about the finest ‘go to’ place for all of us guitarists, and those who pursue other fretted instruments.
I have been looking forward to visiting the store for years, and my visit didn’t disappoint.
Grant, I just wanted to take a second to thank you for the welcome and the time you gave me last Friday. It may sound silly but I have been looking forward to visiting the store for years, and my visit didn’t disappoint. The fact that you were kind enough to allow me to see “behind the scenes” and could spare some of your time to chat in an obviously very busy day was the icing on the cake. Once Again – thank you. Oh – and I have sent a note to Jason Verlinde of Fretboard Journal suggesting he consider doing an article on you and the store.
There are not many feelings better than heading down to the 12th Fret with a pocketful of cash looking to buy (another) guitar. Although the store was fairly busy the staff were fantastic in offering help and advice. As I sat and auditioned ten or fifteen guitars no staff member passed by without asking if I needed help. Every question was answered with expertise. There was absolutely no sales pressure – take your time get the guitar that is right for you was the philosophy. Thanks Grant, Brian and Mike for sharing your knowledge and sage advice.
Finally, there is no better feeling than heading home from the 12th fret with a brand new Taylor 714ce professionally set up and ready to rock ‘n roll.
Thank you all

I love your store. You were my first dealer outside the US back in 1987, when I started THD. The 12th Fret has always been one of my favorite guitar stores in the world.
Just wanted to let you know that my Banjo arrived today. I am glad I paid the extra and got the Artisan. It is beautiful and the sound is awesome like I knew it would be. Thanks again and if i find anyone in need of a banjo I will send them your way for sure.
