Akira M. Eastman

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 […]

Well I wanted to go over and see Lou one more time thinking the guitars would be finished end of the month. But off course he always has other reasons to go over there. Some nice palens to play and other gorgeous things. When lo and behold there it was a black Palen. It is […]

John M. Engel Custom P90

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

Sylvain C. Palen

Hello both of you, Since yesterday I am fortunate to have in my possession my second Palen “The little sister”.  After much concern due to complications with UPS.  And once again I am totally satisfied. It is simply extraordinary, both in the sound than construction.  Nelson is truly a master luthier.  The guitar is simply […]
