I want to first thank Nevin who has spent time with me over several visits explaining the ins and outs of acoustic guitars. He has always been patient with, I’m sure to him, obvious questions and also full of really interesting information. Thank you Nevin, and thank you also for your diligence taking my Lucille in on consignment. Hope to hear from you soon on that!

I have been simply over the moon playing this beautiful herringbone the last few days.

Many thanks also to Brian who saw me standing there, guitar in hand and wondering what next and wrapped everything up very nicely and clearly. Anyhow great day as always when I visit you.

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

Dear Twelfth Fret.  To the folks in sales and repair, especially Dave H. in service who did a great job, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the care and concern that you have shown for my old Martin D35. You honoured my request for the fret dressing and thank you for the neck straightening, strings etc. And my gratitude to Grant for supporting this decision.   

Thank you all so much for re-uniting me with my old buddy D35 which has been with me for my entire recording career since 1973. You have made it possible to continue with this tradition.

Twelfth Fret proves to be the best pro shop in Canada, and for good reason.

I came to Twelfth Fret with an all original 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean which I had purchased online. The guitar was barely playable, would not tune and was just a very expensive disappointment. After a consultation with Scott, he came up with a plan to see if this guitar could be brought back to life. After great communication, Scott put his skillful hand to work and gave me back one of the greatest guitars I have ever played!
I went from totally disappointed with this guitar, to it being one of my favorites. I don’t know how Scott did it, but unbelievable. Great communication throughout the process, incredibly skillful work, and most of all just a real desire on Scott’s behalf to bring this thing back to life as best he could. I went from having totally given up, to very boastful to own this guitar. Completely blown away.

Absolutely no hesitation bringing any future projections to Scott and the rest of the staff. Thank you so much!

Grant, many thanks. I’m glad my lefty Huss & Dalton Crossroads went to  a good home. It served me well.   Thank-you for such wonderful service. Periodically, I turn-over a guitar and I will definitely use The Twelfth Fret for my future consignments.

I received the Baby Collins on 24, October 2016 in good condition.  The guitar fully meets my expectations. I couldn’t’ be happier!  Smooth transaction, good packaging and prompt service. Thank you!
