Goulet top notch company. Everyone is great. Have NOT disappointed me with any of my orders and wait delivery times are non-existing. THANK you for all that you do.MAHALO NUI LOA.(thank you very much) Bless you ALL...

Superb and marvelous

Fantastic is how I would describe the Pilot Custom 74, both in writing and in aesthetics! The writing has been flawlessly smooth from the very beginning. The Custom 74 feels excellent in my hand, both posted and unposted. Writing is a joy with it: It never felt scratchy, nor did it skip, nor did I feel like I had to press hard on the paper. The Con-70 converter holds plenty of ink and is easy peasy lemon squeezy to use. Overall a great pen to write with, for short and long writing durations. The aesthetics of the pen are beautiful too. This Grenadine colour is a marvelous darker red that hits a neat balance of noticeable but not shouty. The nib is gorgeous too! Overall I'd say this is a superb and marvelous fountain pen, worthy of its not insignificant price tag. It's easy to understand why Brian Goulet holds it in high regard, as mentioned in his "Brian Reacting to His Custom 74 Video After Ten Years!" video. The pen has proved its durability and serves as an excellent introduction to gold nib pens, as he states. I enjoy this pen very much, and it brings me a smile every time I write with it!

Pilot Custom 74 Fountain Pen

I have different Pilot pens, from a Pilot Elite 95 s to a Pilot Namiki beauty in Sterling Silver, this one is no exception in its perfect, reliable quality. I bought the two pens as drawing instruments, since I needed a nib flexible enough to draw on painted acrylic and other surfaces, and hard enough to keep a fine line - I was not disappointed :-) Thank you so much! I will probably be buying two more of those in other colors … :-)
