McCarty Pickguard

The guitar came safe and sound.  With that case I don’t know why it wouldn’t! You were right, it is a gem.  It seems like it hasn’t been played much.  Hardly a mark on it.  I know it is 26 years old.  Do you think it will open up more, being a spruce top and all? Anyhow, I’d like to thank you Grant for your high level of expertise and professionalism. I am very pleased with this guitar! 

Thank you again!

Hi Grant: I attended the store today and had my old P Bass inspected by your luthier. He was absolutely great, and was patient with all of my questions. I left feeling absolutely relieved. He didn’t want to take any money, but I managed to convince him to take $5 for the coffee fund!  I brought along a second bass that I was thinking of selling, but decided against it. The sales person that I spoke with was very fair and I felt quite honest. It was a long drive down from Orillia, but well worth it. I can’t speak highly enough of the great service I received at 12th fret.

The Southern Jumbo arrived late yesterday, and I let it warm up overnight before opening the case this morning. It’s in great shape, and sounds fine, as advertised!  It was worth the wait. I appreciate all your assistance with this purchase, and thank you for the careful packing!

Mike, I just wanted to let you know that the Thunderbird arrived safely just now.  It got stuck in customs in Chicago for a couple of days (the post office told me that it always happens that way with everything that comes from abroad) but eventually got on its way again.  Anyway, it is here now and is beautiful and plays like a dream.  It sounds great through my amp, and not surprisingly, sounds just like my 1976 Thunderbird.  I was delighted at how light it is too.

Thanks again!

Hi, Just want to say “thank you” to Brian and friends for making my purchase a wonderful experience, from pointing out the guitar that suits my needs at the moment, to accessories.

Myself and some of my mates have developed a charitable organization in Toronto called Guitars for Kids Toronto. We provide new and previously loved guitars to underprivileged kids in Toronto through Big Brothers and Sisters. I was looking for a “drop-off” depot in the east-end, where guitar donations could be left for pick-up.
If you have been to 12th Fret, you would know that they do not have much room for stocking additional gear – especially not for sale gear!
Because 12th Fret saw the value in community support…they graciously signed up to become a drop-off centre and have helped to promote GfK Toronto through their newsletters, web pages and social outlets!
Special thanks to Vicki, Grant, Brian and the team for your continued support!
