Testimonials
Guitarists from around the world have sent us some wonderful feedback about Rod Capper Concert Guitars.
It has been my great pleasure to play Rod Capper's guitars while I have been in New Zealand. I have found the instruments easy to play and very responsive with a characterful sound which projects easily and is a delight to the ear.
Rod Capper's are first class guitars comparable to the work of the best international luthiers.

Well I must say that I have never before owned such a superb guitar. The complete package is inspirational. I'm not sure which to praise first, the sound or the finish, but I guess the most important aspect is the sound. To say there is much more volume is only scratching the surface. The treble sound is so strong - it really sings out - and each note seems surrounded by warmth - a velvet-like presence - that is quite stunning.
I can truly say I have not felt this excited about a guitar for a long time. It is so beautiful - a real inspiration - and undeniable proof of your significant skill as a maker.

.....here's some feedback on the guitar. Had a few days to play it now, also a few others have tried it and I've got to say it's the best flamenco guitar I or they have ever played. All comments were along the lines of 'Wow, where can I get one'....... I'm really happy with it, you've excelled yourself, well done.

Rod, the more I play the new guitar the more I like it. One couldn't ask for more in a high end guitar. Again, those trebles really sing out, don't they?
Words cannot adequately describe the quality of sound. You must hear it to understand why many concert artists consider Rod's guitars to be among the very best in the world.

Thankyou for making me one of your beautiful guitars, so light to lift and yet so strong to hold and impressive to play. The depth and power of the base is in perfect balance with the brightness and warmth of the treble. If I may be allowed poetic license, I have to say that the sound of your guitar is expansive and clear like the sunrise over an ocean's panoramic horizon. Indeed your guitar makes my previous experience of playing the guitar seem like having been in a contained swimming pool and now thanks to your craftsmanship I have been set free to explore new worlds.

My Rod Capper guitar is absolutely great, it is very loud and is even a cross all strings. The trebles are very strong right up to the 20th fret and the bass strings are also strong. The tone is full and very clean, the separation of notes is fantastic great for contrapuntal music. There are sometings that are much easier to do on this guitar than any guitar I have had before. I can't put it down and have been practicing for about 4 hrs a day since I got it.

Just a quick feedback on the guitar. I'm enjoying it very much and definitely made the right choice in changing. Its easy to play ie the notes come much easier than on the Ramirez.
- Peter Crosse, NZ
I can say my hats off to your craftmanship. What a wonderful finish. The guitar sounds very well balanced (as expected) and the trebles can s ing and sing loud, too.............. I think it can only get better in time to come - and I am very happy at the choice I have made. Once again , thank you so much for making me this guitar. It has been worth the wait and the expectation. Time for me to hit the practice room and fall in love with my No.69.
