TESTIMONIALS

One Of My Favourite Guitar Stores in the World.

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 a word of thanks for the superb job you folks did in bringing an early 50’s LG-2 back to life for me. The improvement in the sound is absolutely amazing. And it plays like buttah!

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.

Thank You For Your Help And Patience.

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!

Could Not Be More Pleased!

I received my Turner guitar last week and could not be more pleased. It’s a beautifully simple guitar that feels and sounds sublime and is exactly as you described. Thank you Max and the rest of the 12th Fret staff for working through my questions, the payment options and the solid packaging and shipping.

Overall, great service and a great shop.

I picked up a Strat on Saturday, and was helped by Nevin. He was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the differences in the models. Once I made my selection, he set it up for me and showed me how to make minor adjustments myself.

Overall, great service and a great shop.
