Dear Mr. Miklaucic,
I am writing this testimonial letter as a way to thank you all for many, many hours of pleasure I have experienced with the guitar I purchased from you just about a year ago. It is a Manuel Contreras II Model C5-S, and it is just a beautiful thing! It has a lovely, sweet tone and incredible resonance. Virtually everyone who has heard it loves it, and several players now lust after it -- needless to say, I don't tell them where I keep it! :)
Your staff helped with the purchase and were wonderful in aiding me with my selection. I was coming back to guitar after about a 20 - year absence, and needed guidance. I asked them to recommend a guitar that had an easy action (I quit originally because the guitar I was playingwas a beast -- the action was VERY hard), sweet tone, and a big "bang for the buck" in terms of quality vs. price. You recommended the C5-S. I asked about strings, and was pointed to the D'addario J-46's, which have been terrific. I now see in the literature that the J-46's are considered by several professional players to be very, very fine strings!
I ordered in December but waited, on your advice, until you got in a fresh shipment in January, 1999. I asked you to select the "pick of the litter", which I must have received, given the beauty of the instrument. I am VERY happy with the instrument and with the service you have provided. You all gave great follow-up service, answering little questions as they came up. It is clear to me that Guitar Salon International is run by people who love guitar, and treat what they do as a calling, as well as a business. I would not hesitate to recommend Guitar Salon; indeed, I would and have
strongly urged players to purchase instruments through you.
For those who may read this on the website, let me say that first, I initiated this letter -- no one from GSI asked me to write it. Second, if you are considering making a purchase but are concerned about making a sight-unseen, large dollar purchase over the internet -- don't be. GSI will take very good care of you. Their products are superb, as is the service. They will take the time and effort to make sure you have the right guitar. My guitar is in the $2,000 range, but I would not have even the smallest qualm about ordering a $20,000 guitar from GSI over the internet. They are good people.
Sincerely,
Peter J. Canney
