The guitar arrived safe and sound yesterday morning and I’ve been playing the heck out of it. What a joy! Thank you Nevin for the great packing job! PS: Grant-when I’m in T.O. I’ll drop by and cover the $4.80, or buy you a latte!
Ecstatic About The Level of Repair And End Result!
I recently took a 60’s era DelVecchio resonated guitar in to your repair shop. Dave Hill did all the work (I believe?) It took about 8 months as the neck had to be straightened (steamed) several times and re-planed. Plus re-fretted and some other small things. I paid and took my instrument home.
I have neglected letting you know how ecstatic I am about the level of the repair and the end result. The guitar is extremely playable and responsive. It tunes better than it ever has and the tone is unbelievable! I couldn’t be happier. It was expensive, but it’s plain to anyone that this is a superior repair and the workmanship is first rate. You get what you pay for and I don’t mind spending the money for your excellence.
Thank you Dave! A million times! I’m a very happy camper and a loyal Twelfth Fret customer. Forever.
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.
Finally picked up the banjo from Fedex last night. Looks and sounds great . Thanks for the setup! My wife loves it! She would play a bit, hug the banjo giggling, play some more, hug banjo and giggle some more, repeat … A big hit (:
I want to send you this happy mail and thank you for your help and patience. The Saratoga is ringing and plinging and has accepted me as her user. My fingerpicking is improving and I am happy in every way.
Next year I will buy a good open back banjo and I mean to buy it from you. I don’t find the Saratoga to be ideal for claw hammer so we must look into the matter. Maybe a fine top end instrument already used and treated with songs? Greetings from Norway!
