I bought The Jazz Lines which instantly opened a bunch of musical doors that I thought I’d never be able to walk through as I’m also an auto-didact. I started searching for anything I could find about him and first found the Conti line of guitars, beautiful! That led me to his instructional materials I looked all through them and started watching the preview videos and realised - this guy speaks my language. His speed, agility and great note choices. I had the luck of coming across a video of Robert playing at one of the NAMM events which instantly got my attention. If you want a beautiful guitar, don't hesitate to do as I did (I want to emphasize that this comment is free from any commercial interest on my part.) The guitar was accompanied by a very informative video from Mr. The exclusivity of the marketing made me apprehensive about buying a guitar online from the USA without trying it, but I am convinced that I made a good choice and hope to keep it for a long time. Very low action, fast neck, surprising sustain, beautiful aesthetics, and lightweight - you can play it at home without an amplifier. I own several guitars, and this one is by far the easiest and most enjoyable to play, especially for jazz.

I adjusted it to my liking, removed the pickguard for aesthetic reasons since I play without a pick, and put on flat wound strings that I am accustomed to using. It only took a few days for me to get used to it. Guitar delivered to Var, France, in just one week after ordering, without any damage or unpleasant surprises. Review Translated From French to English: With the meds and back recovery, it’s a bit hard to practice more than 10 minutes at a time, but the logic of the approach is appealing. I am working with the Chord Melody Assembly Line course and like what I see. We have been married 35 years, and she has put up with a lot. She also noticed and commented on the tailpiece. My wife likes the tone and noticed the tailpiece.Īnd yes, Beverly listened to it and was highly complimentary. I doubt I’ll play it again except on the way out the door. My very nice L5 copy is going on the market soon. I think it is very favorably comparable to the xxx priced over $7,000. I think a comparison to xxx and xxx is certain to find the Conti on top. I’ll be leaving this to a child or grandchild. My mandolin and 000 model guitar are lifetime instruments, and out of the box the Conti immediately earned the same designation. The combination of design and sonic engineering on the tail piece is genius on both counts. Tone through my Fishman Loudbox 100 with all EQ at 12:00 is classic, and with a very nice slight edge.

The guitar arrived today and it is simply beautiful. I really like what you played, and the introduction to the instrument is really appreciated. Robert, thanks for the time you spent with my new guitar.
