Thank You All So Much For Re-uniting Me With My Old Buddy D35.
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.
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 really like what you’ve done with the website and newsletter posting. Please keep these things coming. Another reason why The Twelfth Fret is just about the finest ‘go to’ place for all of us guitarists, and those who pursue other fretted instruments.
Ecstatic About The Level of Repair And End Result!
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.
Finally picked up the banjo from Fedex last night. Looks and sounds great . Thanks for the setup! My wife loves it! She would play a bit, hug the banjo giggling, play some more, hug banjo and giggle some more, repeat … A big hit (:
Just a quick note to say you guys do a great job, and I wish I were closer to you. Kansas is a long way away. Great job on the tips you provide for players. Spot on info, well said. I wanted to thank you for doing this, as it’s a great service to all of us. Take care and keep up the great work!
