TESTIMONIALS

Can’t think of one thing I would change.

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.

It is here now and is beautiful and plays like a dream!

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!

Didn’t Intend On Buying Anything.

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.

Simply Over The Moon Playing this Beautiful Herringbone!

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.

Blown Away by Look, Feel, Quality and Sound!

I’ve had the Deering Calico for a week now and I feel I needed to contact you again to let you know… every day I play, I’ m absolutely blown away by the look, feel, quality and sound of this thing! The love grows; I couldn’t have gotten it from a better person and shop. Truly, thank you very much!

Could Not Be More Pleased!

I received my Turner guitar last week and could not be more pleased. It’s a beautifully simple guitar that feels and sounds sublime and is exactly as you described. Thank you Max and the rest of the 12th Fret staff for working through my questions, the payment options and the solid packaging and shipping.
