Betz (AK) - "While living in Alaska I learned of the common roots of the Athabascan and Navajo peoples. I wanted a guitar that reflected that history. The artistry that Rick demonstrated in merging the two exceeded my expectations. Today I see designs, at Pimentel and elsewhere, that can be traced back to this unique and wonderful instrument."

David Brody (KS) - "My Pimentel is still the standard that I go back to in evaluating guitars, and I still prefer it for my many types of music, specifically the the music of Tarrega, Llobet, Turina. The sound has grown to a very rich maturity that my other guitars lack, and that I can't seem to find in any other instrument."
