HERE IS AN EMAIL FROM the most RECENT MONARCH PURCHASER:
"Hello
Lou...I received my Peerless Monarch today (sn902088). I couldn't be
more pleased!! The Monarch is absolutely flawless in craftsmanship and
tone. Everything I've read about these Peerless guitars is true...you
would expect them to cost twice as much as they do!
Thank
you very much for your quick response to my original inquiry and for
shipping it out so soon. And I'd especially like to thank you for the
Infeld strings! I'm now a huge Peerless fan as well as a Lou Del Rosso
fan!! Anyone that asks about my Monarch will be told to purchase their
own from Lou at Guitars 'N Jazz!!"

"Ok........ I just got thru checking out the guitar and first off you picked me out a great one - I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS! All it needs is my preferred guage of strings and that's it. I plugged it in for a few minutes and I couldn't believe how nice it sounds - I noticed the clever brace that is in there to prevent feedback. I'm surprised how lively it is for the $$$$. Anyway, Thank you and thanks for the quick delivery of it. A little side note - I have been playing a new Gibson 335 because I wanted something that's versatile - big mistake - I'm not happy with Gibson quality as usual and I am selling the guitar. The 335 sounds really good but it doesn't stay in tune and had a bad pot right out of the box to go with the 3149 price tag - I haggled and got one for 2500 + a trade. I should have bought this first - as soon as I saw the upgrade to flame maple and the tone control I was sold. I am glad I called you and got the Sunburst. This thing is a steal.................. Thanks, Robert"

HISTORY -Peerless guitars was established in 1970. Since then they have built quality archtop and acoustic guitars for world-renowned top brands such as Gretsch of Fender, Epiphone of Gibson, Alvarez of St.Louis Music and many others with our high standards of quality.
In the early stage of business, there were times that our company produced almost 30,000 pieces of guitars per month. However, now we are focusing solely on quality and building only less than 1,000 guitars per month which is 1/25 in quantity. These changes have been done to build guitars only we can be proud of. As the result of the effort, now we are presenting series of guitars with our own brand name, PEERLESS.
PEERLESS purchases raw materials personally and lumber, and drys, and stores it using our own special process. We build, assemble and finish all of guitars in our own facilities, not in any other countries or remote places. This means we have total control of production and that is how we can ensure the quality of our guitars, not to mention four decades of experiences and researches.
In late 2007, we have moved our factory to the new area called Gimhae within Korea. This new and sophisticated facility allows us to be able to build even better instruments to match the growing expectations that we receive from guitar players all over the world. With this change, we also present a few lines of new Carved Archtop Guitars for you to experience great resonance and craftsmanship of authentic jazz guitars with most reasonable prices.
