Our Recent Correspondents: Joe, The sale was so easy that the hardest part of the process was finding a box to put the guitar in. The rest of the process was fast, efficient and resulted in a win / win for me and the customer. Regards, Ed Gilbert, Houston, TX
Good Afternoon Joe, The '46 Triumph arrived in excellent condition and exactly as advertised. The guitar is loud, clear and as you mentioned, without any doubt, "the most bang for the buck". It was a pleasure doing business with you. Russ Bishop, Lincoln, RI
Hi Joe - I can't thank you enough for reuniting me with a guitar of my younger years. I owned the twin of this ES-335 when I was 16 years old. The condition of this 1966 is incredible. It is such an amazing instrument to hold and play. I am attaching two photos. One of me when I was 16, and one today. (Pix here, wow!) Thanks again. Alan Mowry, St Pete Beach, Fl
Joe, I received the (2008 Benedetto Bravo) yesterday. The guitar is in good shape and nothing broken in shipping. Just wanted to let you know you were right, it is a beautiful guitar in immaculate condition. I really Love it. It has great voice, a real sweet tone. I would like to commend you and your staff for your professionalism regarding this transaction. Thank you for your time and patience. Thanks again, Bobby Rambo, Dallas, TX
Hello Joe. I picked up the ol '36 Super 400 yesterday. What a fantastic guitar in excellent excellent condition, better than expected. If you ever want to buy a top notch archtop through a great dealer, Joe is the man to talk to. The 1936 Gibson Super 400 is a fantastic guitar in fabulous condition, worth every penny. Eric Harding, Saint John, New Brunswick Canada
Hi Joe, The '52 Gibson L-7N arrived on Monday ... Wow!!!!!! was my first impression. First off, thanks for the fantastic packing job and the way that you had the strings was pretty amazing. I've never seen that before but I can see that you really put thought into how to safely send an archtop!! I strung it up and tuned it up and adjusted the bridge a bit and away I went. I LOVE IT!!!!!!! It's everything I hoped for. Pure appealing tone, easy to play, drop dead classy and gorgeous. Add me into the "Extremely Happy Customer List"!!!!! all the best, Randy Fullmer, Woodland Hills, CA
Hey Joe, The west wind gently floated in the Zephyr Deluxe to me yesterday, and I didn't get around to letting you know until today, BUT that's because I spent all last night getting acquainted with this fine instrument. It's truly a beautiful unique object 'd music/art.. To whoever put the work/time/moola into constructing this fine guitar to its present state, I am VERY grateful, as well as to any previous owner(s) that kept it in such excellent condition. It's just as you described, Joe, and I thank you once again for taking the 'time-out' from your busy schedule to describe, play, and ship this to me in record time. As always, the setup instructions you send along make it so easy to get the guitar in hand and playing right away. This is definitely another keeper! Thank you!!!!! Brad Cornwell, Casper, WY
It was a pleasure doing business with you . The honest and great presentation that you gave my 1939 Broadway and 1922 Gibson A-3 white face mandolin, shows the care and professionalism that you take in your work. I highly recommend your service to anyone to sell any vintage or classic instruments. Thank you for the great prices you got for me. Mike Tweedy, Buffalo, NY
