"Hi Kenn, I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what a pleasure it was meeting you. I also wanted to thank you for all that you did to put this "dream guitar" in my hands...I look forward to , in the not so distant future, talking about the next guitar that I will get from you. The sound and craftmanship of this Kronbauer is beyond discription. You did a very accurate job
discribing it
and how pleased I would be. Thanks again for everything."
Mark (OH)
"Hey Kenn - when I found the Kronbauer Ziricote on your website I immediately knew I had to have it as this was exactly the guitar I had been looking for. The instrument arrived last week in a seriously well packed box and it is everything - and more - I had hoped for. What a sound!! Thanks for your help and be sure I will be checking your website regularly for other treasures. Keeponpickin' "

"Hi Kenn, Thank you for the opportunity to work with you to get this great guitar. We received it Friday, right on as you said. I feel your professional manner is great, made it easy to purchase something so valuable without ever hearing it or touching it. It was well packed, and no shipping problems. Again,
thanks Kenn. If you ever need a good endorsement, I'll be glad to give ya one."

"Hello Kenn, The guitar is here, more beautiful than in my dreams. It's dificult for me to believe. It's the first time I have bought an instrument abroad. I didn't think that it would be so easy. Only seven days and the guitar is home. I'm very happy that I have discovered your shop on internet. Thanks again." Claude (France)
"My goodness ... I am speechless. This is about the finest instrument I have ever held and it will take a place of honor right next to my Webber sunburst 12 string. David, I can see that you put your heart into this piece ... the tonewoods,fit and finish are gorgeous and the sweet, rounded and balanced sound is really incredible. I just wanted you go know how much I appreciate this instrument and what it must mean to you to craft something so beautiful. I know I will spend many long hours playing this wonderful guitar. It really is a special piece. Thank you so very much.
By the way, Kenn you have been great to work with over these past few years. Thanks for your trusted advice."
Bill (Pittsburgh, PA)
"I have been looking for a new 12-string for a long time. Kenn (Paramount) and David (at Morgan Guitars) came up with the perfect 12-string for me.It took only three months for David to make.Thanks for all of David and Kenn's work. Looking forward to getting a six string guitar from Kenn."

Customer Comments
"I just received my Webber 000 12 fret. Wow...what a guitar! The clarity, responsiveness, and overall richness in sound and tone is fantastic. This Webber blows away any comparable Martin or Taylor that I've owned or played for waaay less money. The craftsmanship is superior (it's hand made!) as well as the playability and sound. Don't believe the hype and marketing of big box store brands. Come here and Kenn will treat you right with great knowledge, advice and terrific customer service. He knows what he's selling because he has played them all himself. You won't regret doing business with Paramount guitars." Greg (North Carolina)
"Wanted to take a minute to sincerely thank you
for you help and patience in my acquisition of the beautiful Northwood
00-14. I have yet to encounter any guitar dealer who was willing to spend
as much time in assisting me with my purchase. From
graciously allowing me to return the first guitar I ordered secondary to it
just not working for me, to patiently advising me on recommedations for a
guitar to alleviate some of my shoulder and wrist issues, to guiding me to this
wonderful Northwood once we had decided what I needed; the entire process
was comfortable, enlightening and quick! Without a doubt,
for any future guitar purchases I will turn to Paramount Guitars
first!" Russ (Oceanside CA)
"Hi Kenn, The best thing that has happened to me in my musical life this year is the discovery of Paramount Guitars. I only wish I had found you sooner. If you are a musician, whether a performing artist or someone who just plays for fun these days like me, this is the Holy Grail. I found wonderful hand crafted instruments by luthiers with whom I was not previously familiar, but whose guitars I now know are among the finest
available in the world. I was also able to receive invaluable guidance and assistance from you regarding my personal needs and desires, my physical limitations, and how best to deal with them. The service is terrific, and I have called you at many different times during the day and you always made time for me. You have the patience of Job. You gave me honest and straight-forward advice, including some "parental" coaching when I needed it. I am now proud to say I own two guitars I purchased from Paramount
that bring a lot of joy to my life, and that are suited for me. Many thanks also for the careful and diligent "hurricane -proof" packing for shipment, the best I have ever experienced.
What a magnificent concept you came up with in Paramount Guitars, delivered by a navigation friendly and functional web site with many different and practical music-related features and information. I would love to visit your storefront in Watertown someday. The highlight of the web site is, of course, a well-stocked inventory from most of your luthiers, with detailed pictures and actual sound bites from each guitar. You even take the time to provide, in many cases, both finger-style
and flatpicked recordings, which incorporate standard and open tunings. The ability to view the different luthiers' models, and then hear the guitars in action is invaluable in the decision-making and selection process. The sound bites are live excerpts from your own records, and that was an unexpected bonus, as I have now added two of your original acoustic guitar works to my CD music library.
It's been great to work with you, and I know I have another guitar or two left in me. It's not very often you get to deal with a music teacher, artist, professional businessman , and a nice guy in the same package." Tony (Harlingen, TX)
"Hi Kenn, Just wanted to thank you for all your patience and help in finding the right guitar for me. It took us a while but with your helpful and professional insight and manner we found the guitar that was right for me. The Webber 00 is more than I expected and exactly as you described it. For a little 00 it has a big sound and your set up is great; easy to play and easy on my hands.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me, and for all your patience as we shipped several guitars back and forth across the country until I found the one that was right for me. I'll be back again when I am ready for my next "handmade" guitar. You opened my eyes to new possibilities, and for that I am grateful." David (Waterbury CT)
"Dear Kenn, I had a pleasant surprise last evening when I came home. Yes! The OM was delivered ahead of time! The packing is very professional. Guitar was well protected. Thank you very much. It was everything that you have described and it plays like a dream. You are right! I couldn’t put it down! Thank you once again. I look forward to buying another good guitar from you." Bobby (Singapore)
"Even though Kenn at Paramount Guitars would hate to use the word "mint," I received an eight-year-old National Resonator in beautiful mint condition. Kenn has an eye for a fine guitar! Also, he worked with me on Sunday to get an order out on time and on time it was!" Woody Pines
"Hi Kenn - I've got [the guitar]. It sounds really great!!! Great bass. Well balanced as you told me. And it has wonderful woods too. I'm very happy. Thanks a lot, you've been simply perfect..." Ric (Italy)
"Hey there Kenn, Thanks for the quick shipment and for solving all my doubts, the guitar's shape is as good as you described it, and I have not seen better packing for an acoustic guitar yet... man, it could have fallen down from the plane and I doubt it would have suffered. It's been great to deal with Paramount Guitars, I can recommend it to anyone interested in good guitars and professional attention." Javi (Spain)
"I thank you very much for the strings, for the communications, for the telephone conversations, and last, but not least...for the doozy of a Duesenberg!...Thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks!"
Ruth (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
