"Well Cliff, it seems that I get nothing less than solid gold from you. As I told you before, with a new guitar I spend quite a bit of time with it acoustically. The Pheo is simply striking regarding its resonance. I was shocked. Perhaps it is that open "sound cavity" under the pickups....rather I think he used a great combo of quality tonewood. I can't imagine how much bigger it would sound with a bigger neck.... it already resonates like crazy." - Raj

"Wow! I just took delivery of my new Nik Huber Orca from our own Cliff C. at Destroy All Guitars...First, about Cliff: What a great guy who took a fairly complicated trade deal and made it all work. I have been in touch with Cliff for a good part of the year on another, yet to be finalized, guitar transaction and have found him to be nothing less than a great businessman and human being. His word is as solid as granite and he knows guitars better than many luthiers. Kudos and thanks, my friend!" - Mike Grier

"I just wanted to let everybody know that I met Cliff, his wife Patty, and their kids last week....I had dinner with them, the exceptional Jack Briggs, and also my dear friend Eddie Berman. What a great group of folks...and I'll have to say that I was very impressed by Cliff and by his family. Warm, friendly people, who are top notch. I'd encourage anyone to do business with Cliff....and just look at the roster of builders he represents! Amazing!" - Terry McInturff

"Cliff's patience, insight, knowledge and experiences have really opened my eyes, ears, and heart. Thank you for that! In a country, let alone a world, where there are a multitude of options for today's musician, Cliff's guidance and honesty set the standard that others should strive for." - Jimmyray Hawkins

"Dealing with Cliff I got more than I bargained for. I was looking for a guitar and I got a relationship with someone knowledgeable and caring , who always looks out for my best interest. A real friend." - Greg Saer

"Cliff is one of a handful of guys on the planet with this amazing combination of encyclopedic knowledge AND artistic experience with electric guitars and amplifiers. He's a player, engineer, A&R whiz, and has produced many (most?) of today's guitar gods. I can't think of a better advocate when searching for unique and uncompromising stringed instruments." - John La Grou, Founder, Millennia Music & Media Systems www.mil-media.com

"Cliff is my tone guru. He knows amps and guitars better than anyone, and I trust his recommendations when it comes to equipment. I've known Cliff since '85 and he's always been on the new frontier with both music and gear. He signed me to Relativity back in '86 and since then has continued to help me develop as a solo artist. Now with DestroyAllGuitars on the web we all have a place to go when we need Cliff's advice!" - Joe Satriani

"I was discovered by Frank Zappa but Cliff Cultreri gave me my chance in the music business and if it was not for his instincts, support and encouragement, it's unlikely I would have had a successful music career. When you hear about music business folk lore you hear the fairy tale stories of the one guy that made a difference but was more or less an unsung hero. Cliff was my guardian angel. After countless refusals from virtually every label, Cliff was the only one to take the chance and release my music, giving me a deal that is to this day unequivocally unprecedented in the music business." - Steve Vai

"Gotta say that all of my dealings with Cliff have been the most enjoyable, hassle-free experiences I could have imagined. Cliff Rocks (as they say nowadays)." - George Johnson

"You know I just wanted to say that you really know how to treat customers or potential customers ...You get back to people in a timely fashion, you answer questions ..etc...I know thats what your supposed to do, but in todays market you dont always get that ..I truely appreciate it and Im sure your other customers do as well ...Looking forward to a looooong relationship ......Thanks... - Dave Ponte

"I have been doing business with Cliff since I bought a couple Bogners from him in '97. Many transactions later I can honestly say that there is nobody I would rather do business with. His knowledge, passion, commitment to time frames, quality of instruments and totally honest communication has resulted in my purchase of some of the best gear I have ever owned and I look forward to buying other guitars and amps as I can. Cliff is the best!" - Steve Snider

"Dear Cliff, every time I get in touch with you I am amazed by the kindness that you show. I am very sorry that you are far, otherwise I would be glad to be share your company (hope my english is correct.....). Nowadays you are for me a lighthouse in the guitar world and I promise that before I buy anything in the future I will first get in touch with you. Ciao," - Roberto

"Having read your other testimonials I'd like to say, I am not Steve Vai, or Holdsworth, or Frampton; I would like to be Warren Haynes someday. But you treated me the same way you treated them, and I am just a guy who loves playing guitar everyday for no more than my wife, kids, and a few unwilling neighbors. The guitar you sold me means more to me than just an instrument, it attaches me to some of your memories, and is making some of mine. Our mutual friends also tie into the legacy of this friendship. A small world it is, but a nicer place as a result of what you do, not only for the big shots, but the average guy who just likes to play. Good health to you, and all the success that you deserve!" - Rick Sousa

"I came across Cliff when he had one of the most amazing guitars for sale. While going through the sales process I was treated as though I was a long time valued customer, making me feel special. I will surely do more business in the future - Best wishes for the future of DestroyAllGuitars" - Barrie Eames (U.K.)

"In the short time I have known Cliff, it has quickly become apparent that he has a special passion for helping players both professional and recreational connect with gifted luthiers and amp builders. The stable of brands he is assembling is truly astonishing. Cliff has gone above and beyond in helping me realize my tonal nirvana. Thanks Cliff!" - Steve Hamill

"Thanks Cliff for all of your assistance in finding my model for me. This guitar has been the answer to my quest for the ultimate instrument. Your expertise via several e-mails and follow-up telephone conversations was a valuable asset in my decision to purchase this guitar. I would whole heartedly recommend you to anyone looking for info on any of the fine line of guitars and amps you represent." - Charles Ruberry

"Cliff at DestroyAllGuitars is one of the most personable, knowledgeable and trustworthy people - not only in this business, but in general. He has guided me through the many superior products he represents and I am immensely satisfied with his recommendations. He took the time to match my style and needs with a Soloway guitar and Top Hat amplifier and I couldn't be happier." - Bob McCormick

"I really need to thank you Cliff. Not only is the guitar amazing but you really went out of your way to help match me up with the right model. Your customer service has gone beyond anything I would have expected from a dealer. Thanks for a great transaction." - Larry L.

"Cliff has been great to deal with - knowledgeable about the products and completely dedicated to making sure I ended up with exactly the amp I needed. Add to that the fact that he's got integrity about what he sells, and that he's funny, so who else would you deal with? I will definitely be ordering more gear from Destroy All Guitars!" - David Kelly

"Dealing with Cliff Cultreri and Destroy All Guitars has been one of the most pleasant gear experiences I have ever had. Cliff's vast experience and musician's ear are what sets him apart. He immediately is able to make valuable and insightful suggestions without ever applying any pressure. I found the experience to be more consultative than sales oriented. As a result, I consider Cliff a good friend and not just a salesman or source of good gear. Of course it helps that Destroy All Guitars carries some of the worlds finest lines!" - Scott L. Lerner

"I've never received better personal service regarding the purchase of a musical instrument. I believe your company 'DestroyAllGuitars' has set a new bench mark for others to follow." - Ron Wright

"Cliff was a great help with my VOS purchase. He's a guy that keeps the customer service coming way after the sale is done. Here's a guy who's on a mission to get the absolute best new guitars and amps into discerning player's hands. I'll be happy to do business with him again in the future." - John McCoy

"Destroy All Guitars is the only place I know where you can feel just as good making the purchase as you feel playing it!" - Sean Sforza

"Back in the 80's when Cliff was with Relativity, he signed my band Tribal Tech, and also helped us get our first three records released. He also really helped us in our first attempts at touring in the US. The music that I play isn't very commercial and I knew it was Cliff's appreciation for what we do that influenced him to help us, more than just trying to make money. Thanks Cliff!" - Scott Henderson

"No friggin' way this guitar is this good!!!!! It's not possible...and yet, I'm holding it in my hands... Cliff you told me I'd react this way, and after 18 years of guitars I thought...I'll love it, but I didn't realize I'd want it surgically stitched to my waist...slung low of course. So, to you my friend I say THANK YOU, and to everyone else I say....Take all your fancy top, master built, limited edition shit home....DESTROY ALL GUITARS is all about TONE!!!! Thanks again." - Chris Dozois
