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!

I received my new banjo last night and I absolutely love it.
Anne, I received my new Rickard Maple Ridge banjo last night and I absolutely love it. It is beautiful and in very nice condition. Also, it sounds amazing and it is much easier to play than what I was currently using. Feels like the neck is a bit wider, which is great. Thanks for helping me make my decision.
Hi Grant. You have no idea who I am but I was some schmuck that came into your (old location?) store and bought a D28 for my 40th. That was almost 20 years ago and as I have moved round the world I finally decided to take formal lessons rather than rest on my “lyin eyes” “streets of London laurels”! Currently in South africa but I remember when you served me and I had NO idea what to look for in an acoustic – you said “see which one you like” – but as I didn’t play, I had no clue! Please keep that same patience and gentle guidance that served me well all these years ago and never get too too serious. Good luck with the store. My sincere best wishes!
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.
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.
