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 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 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 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. 

Max, just writing to let you know that this guitar is awesome!  Very impressive in every way. I’m keeping it for sure.  Thanks!

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.
