I received the guitar today. It’s even better than I hoped it would be. The Tennessee Waltz brought my wife in smiling from the other room. Thank you for the excellent service. 

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.

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

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.

Thanks Gord Barry for you wonderful work on my 1974 Martin D35! It wasn’t in bad shape to begin with but I decided since it was 45 years old it should have that inevitable neck reset. It’s like I have a whole new guitar: it is more responsive, has better volume and tone and all the notes coming out of it are more articulate than ever, just like you said it would be. Even my old and half-deaf bandmates have noticed the difference.
I am in love again!
Thanks so much.

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.
