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 want to send you this happy mail and thank you for your help and patience. The Saratoga is ringing and plinging and has accepted me as her user. My fingerpicking is improving and I am happy in every way. 

Next year I will buy a  good open back banjo and I mean to buy it from you. I don’t find the Saratoga to be ideal for claw hammer so we must look into the matter. Maybe a fine  top end instrument already used and treated with songs? Greetings from Norway!

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 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!

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!

“Good news, received the Guild Starfire III today.  Exceptionally pleased with the instrument and the condition of the case. Absolutely beautiful setup on the guitar. Can’t fault it in any way.  Have enclosed one of our posters for you to have a look at. We are professional players of 20 years or so. Thanks to you and your staff for your assistance! ” – Trevor Miners (& Margaret Barrat BACKTRAKKIN’)
