Customer reviews

“I received my guitar yesterday afternoon. Thank you very much for seeing the delivery through. I have it just in time to fly off on my Easter Holiday.
Congratulations, you really have nailed this design. The sound from what is essentially a Parlor guitar is just unbelievable! You weren’t kidding when you promised it would be loud. The pickup is also great and it plays as good as some of my other instruments that cost me (at least) more than twice what this one did. It’s comfortable to play with great resonance. No YouTube video can really do it justice, as more people get to hear and play this you are on a winner, it speaks for itself. But I’m sure you already know all this!

Well done and thanks again for making such a beautiful (and practical) instrument.”

Tony from Australia – FP412

“I’ve bought plenty of guitars sight unseen, and been disappointed and had to sell them shortly after, as it’s easy to say in advertising that they have good tone and projection. So I was secretly worried about this one. Right out of the box, and before I’ve put my favorite strings on it, I’m overjoyed! It sounds really nice. It must be that Manzer wedge. It feels solid and sounds great picking, strumming, and plugged in. I’m a fan! So stoked.”

Jake from Washington – FP412

“Very happy with this guitar after receiving it in record time. Needed some help in getting the action set – your tips on getting the neck tighter on your site were very helpful. Including two saddles is a great idea, and as I like a little lower action I’m giving it to a luthier friend to lower the action slightly at the nut and check out the frets and setup overall. I like the thoroughness and forethought of your design in having nuts, saddles and shims available if needed. The tone and volume of this parlor model are great – enough base to be loud but not overly “reverby“, with treble and midrange that are present but not “tinny” sounding. Also love the easy playing of the short scale. Can’t wait to get it set up the way I like.

Customer service was great – James answered all my pesky questions and went out of his way to schedule setup and shipping quickly, even throwing in an extra present for a delay. Thanks for a great product and service!”
