Mike Moss Palen Performer

Review of Palen Performer Overall Rating: 11 I first played a Palen Jazz Performer in May 2006 at the Long Island Guitar show. I told Lou Del Rosso, owner of Guitars n Jazz, that I loved it and would order one immediately. I did. I received the guitar in September 2007. It was well worth […]

Hello, Lou. My two Eastman’s guitars finally arrived today (December 2nd). As a matter of fact, they arrived in Japan on November 19, but the custom office commanded me to make a procedure to import them. It took about two weeks to receive them…What a shame! They are very light and beautiful,and also sound great […]

Hi Lou, I played the El Rey and it´s like butter. It never played so well. The action, intonation, all of it great. Please pass along my thanks to Mark for his work. Last Saturday in the showroom, while you were on the phone I played your Bennedetto Guild Artist Award, unplugged. I thought it […]

Hey Lou; WOW!!!! Really nice guitar. The sound is amazing…great set-up too. No need to adjust at all for me which is rare to find in a new guitar. A little too soon to tell yet but this could easily become my fave. Sounds amazing through my DR Z MAZ 18. Thanks
