Mr. Roman,
I commissioned a guitar from you a couple of years ago. I wanted
to really put it through its paces before casting judgment on
it, and possibly considering a review on harmony-central. Well,
time flies and it has been a good handful of years with this
guitar as a workhorse in the studio.
At the time of conception, I believed that I came to you
reasonably well versed in luthiery and guitar mechanics. Boy was
I naïve. You patiently presented me with options I had never
considered, and presented each one’s benefits and drawbacks. You
always made sure that I was aware of the prices for each option
as well, and I appreciated the transparency of your
salesmanship. You helped me through the commission process in a
thoughtful, practical and frank way. The result: The guitar of
my dreams. It looks as beautifully as it plays and sounds - I
cherish every second that I get to play on it and consider the
guitar one of the best investments that I have ever made. It is
everything that I have ever wanted in an instrument, well beyond
the quality of any other guitar, violin or cello that I have
ever played.
And with the passing of time, the instrument remains as stable
and solid as the day I received it. Thus, my tardy but
time-seasoned testimonial.
For this I would like to thank you, and wish you all the best.
Kind Regards,
Rev. Dr. Douglas R Oberle
