Joe F. Eastman Jazz 16

Lou, Just wanted to thank you again for your patience and help.  The Jazz 16 is a great guitar, fell in love with it when I opened the case.  That love was reinforced when I played it.  Plays smooth, easy on the fingers. I would get hand fatigue on my other guitars, not this one. […]

Timothy T. – Eastman Jazz Elite

Louis, I got the guitar today. Awesome! I love it. This guitar plays and sounds BETTER than a laminate Buscarino I had a few years back, which cost more than three times I paid for this guitar. Sincerely, Timothy T.

Jeff V. JazzKat TomKat

Lou, I just wanted to thank you for helping me to choose the coolest, best sounding amp I have owned. I was a die hard tube guy playing low wattage Fenders (Princetons, Champs etc), but after receiving my JazzKat Tomkat I’m a convert. This amp sounds more tube-like than my tube amps… Fat tone, very […]

Wayne K. Eastman Jazz 16

Lou, I’ve been meaning to email you earlier, but have been pretty busy– playing that Jazz 16!  I can’t put it down.  Wow, it’s like nothing I’ve played before and I’ve played almost everything for the last 35 years. I’m not a Jazz player per se, but a generalist and play many styles of music. […]

Michael H. Eastman El Rey

Vince and Lou, Thanks so much for all your help and patience this afternoon. I was not sure where I wanted to go, arch top wise, but when you led me to the Eastman El Rey we found a perfect match! I’ve been playing all afternoon and it sounds amazing through my gear. I also […]

Michael I. Eastman T184MX

I absolutely adore this guitar!!!!!! I actually have it strapped on as i write this…workmanship, setup, all top notch! I’m plugged straight into a fender pro junior on the neck pickup and the BITE of the note attack is just mouthwatering! I cant say enough good things…guitarsnjazz rocks! Consummate professionals, the guitar was shipped more […]

Andy C. Palen

Hi Lou, The guitar is fantistic with such a rich and clear tone, i have had an Eastmam 810CE for a few years which is great but the pure acoustic tone of the Palen is the best i have ever heard. Regards, Andy C.

Candido D. Monarch 16

Lou, I want to let you know how much I love my new Monarch 16 sunburst guitar with the Humbucker pickup. I have owned several jazz guitars over the last 40 years, and the Monarch 16 Sunburst with the humbucker pick up is the best. None of them have matched the quality or tone of […]

Lou X. Rivera Jazz Suprema 15

Lou, I have been looking for an amplifier that would just amplify my archtops and not color the sound. Playing for 40+ years I have finally found it, a Rivera Jazz Suprema 15! Thanks so much for your recommendation. Whether playing my L5 or my Benedetto, the sound coming from this amp actually sounds like […]

Thomas J. Rivera Jazz Suprema 15

Hello Lou, The Rivera Jazz Suprema 15 is a 10 out of 10 in all departments.  In my opinion it’s the best archtop jazz tone available at any price. Thanks for your help and a great price.  It produces a variety of great natural tones with plenty of power and punch for any room.  Fit, finish, […]

JC Stylles Palen

“The day I entered Lou’s Guitars n Jazz showroom was a day I still remember well. There were so many archtops around the walls I didn’t know where to begin, and I tried out several, all of them big-name guitars, before I tried my first Palen. It was at that precise moment when I was […]

Gene E. D’Angelico EX-DC

Hi Lou… Just a quick thanks for your help during my purchase of the demo EX DC. Just love the guitar and it has raised more than one eyebrow. Best regards, Gene E.

Steve J. Eastman

Hey Lou, Just wanted to say thanks for spending so much time helping me choose a guitar over the holidays. I am VERY happy with my purchase (the Eastman thinline) and have been playing non-stop since I got back to school. For my limited budget, I’m still amazed that I walked away with such a […]

Peter Repair

Hello Lou, Just had to tell you what a great setup and tune up Mark did on my six string  acoustic. I have a local photography business in town and pay great attention to details. I will definitely bring my 12 string in for more of the same. Peter Summit, NJ
