What Legitimate Owners are saying about Craven Tenor Guitars.
~~~
“YAAAY!! The guitar arrived. I just unboxed it and when I finally got a full view of this beautiful instrument I was completely astonished!!! I literally had to walk away from it for awhile just to catch my breath. TRULY there has NEVER been, ( in the Entire History of the Tenor Guitar,) an instrument that is so seriously and Beautifully made. The Craven Company might be the Very First company Worldwide to finally regard the TENOR GUITAR as a legitimate instrument and make it “Mainstream” thing. Your guitars are so beautiful that it now becomes very hard for players of every style from everywhere to overlook them. Your stuff is Revolutionary. Amen” John Lawlor, Tenor Guitar Hall Of Fame Inductee.

” Just received my “Tuxedo” from the nice UPS guy. He wanted to know what was in the box…even though the oversized“Fragile” sticker says exactly what the content is and the box shape is a dead giveaway. Thank you for the careful and secure packaging. I think it would take a freight train running over it to do any damage. ” M.G. CA, U.S.A.

“The best packed instrument I have ever had sent to myself, and there have been many. Beautiful workmanship, all the details down to even the case. Even unplugged it sounds great, not at all “thin.” K.H. WA, U.S.A

I’ve already started a couple of songs on it.”

Model 350JLS ~ John Lawlor Signature Jazz Tenor Guitar

“My rhythm player brought his new Po’ Boy to rehearsal yesterday… Not only is it a stunning instrument to look at, but the sound of our band just improved! After the first tune I had to ask him to play softer as it was noticeably louder than his old Harmony tenor, but also warmer and a lot more defined. Beautiful, solid instrument!” Brian Campbell, Brian Campbell Trio
~~~
“The 327 is great. I really don’t have anything bad to say about it. It’s looks and sounds great. I think the body may be a tad bigger than the Gibson? It’s a showpiece!” Charley Redman, Kitten and the Tonics, Michigan.
~~~
“WORK OF ART!!! Thank you for talking me through the whole process…my jaw is dropped open!” DC, New Jersey
~~~
“The Guitar arrived in GREAT shape, It’s even more beautiful than the one on your site. The guitar was packed and protected BRILLIANTLY!” K.P, Arkansas, USA
~~~
“It is safely unpacked, been tuned up, and played “au natural”! I am savoring all the stages of getting to know this beautiful instrument. It plays smoothly and has a really nice clear, almost bell-like tone unplugged. It really suits the kind of music I play (mostly traditional jazz/big band swing/fingerpicking style). And I LOVE- LOVE-LOVE the neck! At first I thought it was going to be too narrow for even my puny digits, but no. It feels great and is really easy for me to play. The fact that it is deep, with a narrow fretboard is just PERFECT. So comfy.“ E.F. New Jersey, U.S.A.
