It’s my pleasure and honor to recommend to you McKnight Guitars. First allow me to introduce myself and tell you a little about why I chose McKnight. My name is Matt Brent and I am the full time worship pastor for the Celebration Christian Church in Marion, OH. I knew I needed a guitar built to shine on the stage and built well enough to endure the rigors of a working musician’s schedule. I played many guitars from many of the top makers: Taylor, Larrivee, Martin, Breedlove, Gibson, Takamine, and several others. At the end of the day, not one of these makers invited me to their home and took the time to educate me about acoustic guitars. Not one of these companies allowed me to design my guitar from beginning to end to my own specifications. Not one of these makers offered to build a personal relationship with me and treat me like family. Tim and Mary did all of these things, so I chose McKnight, and I have never been disappointed with that decision.You just need to know that Tim and Mary are salt of the earth type people. You will find them down to earth and approachable in every circumstance, and they genuinely care for people. Tim understands the intricacies of tone woods and wants to match your needs with the guitar he builds you. He’s willing to listen and take the time to deliver what you need. I’ve seen him spend hours trying to help someone find the right woods to suit their personal tastes and needs as a musician. If you are reading this then you already know the outstanding quality of the guitars you are researching. But just to be thorough, let me say that my McKnight Jumbo Mac (I call her Big Momma) is the finest guitar I’ve ever played. Tim and I designed her to stand out on the stage and perform with excellence and this guitar just keeps getting better. The quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. McKnight Guitars are as fine an instrument as you can find. Allow me to add one last thing for you to ponder when considering McKnight Guitars: when Tim and Mary say they stand behind their instruments 100%, you can believe it. In my experience, they have gone above and beyond many times in an effort to stand behind their guitars. The McKnights deliver a level of customer service and personal attention that would be impossible for the bigger companies to achieve. I am thrilled to be a part of the McKnight family of guitar owners. It’s a rare opportunity to be associated with people of outstanding character and integrity who care for their customers like family and build instruments of supreme quality. When you choose McKnight Guitars for your own needs as a musician and artist, I am convinced that Tim and Mary will exceed all your greatest expectations as well.
Sincerely, Matt Brent
