Grant…received my Alhambra
CS-3 CW crossover guitar yesterday safe and sound.
I am more than pleased with it. Your recommendation was spot on.
I’m enjoying playing it, in fact, can’t seem to put it down! Your professional setup is perfect.
As you described, it is beautifully constructed and the sound is very much to my liking.
I have purchased other guitars over the years from The 12th Fret but this purchase was all completed without even having to drop by in person. Typically, I would want to play a guitar prior to purchase, but I trusted your judgement and experience to guide me and I am…
Completely Satisfied…As Always.
Thanks again Grant.

Best Regards…Mark

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.

Hi Grant, received the Ramirez last Thursday and looks wonderful and more importantly plays and sounds amazing. Imperfections are barely noticeable.  Honestly, it is a beautiful instrument. Thank you so much for your help! I will be playing this guitar for a very, very long time. Thanks again and have a wonderful day,

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

Really like the look and sound.  Haven’t plugged it in yet, but looking so forward to it!  Thanks for the great guitar at a good price and excellent service.

The banjo stork dropped off the baby safe and sound. A couple thousand miles of travel, pulled it out of the case and I barely needed to tune it.  Unbelievable instrument.  Can pick high and soft, or low and push the pedal to the metal…solid and in tune. Returns whatever you throw at it with cristal clear tonality.
Set up, strap, string gage, bridge height, neck profile….all perfect. Can’t think of one thing I would change.
Thanks for all your work on this Grant. I couldn’t be happier.
