Gordon Smith Guitar Gallery (Previously Sold Guitars)

Check out some of my Gordon Smith guitars that have gone out to loving homes in recent months. Owning a Gordon Smith is like owning a pet - you will fall in love with it and never let it go. Thankfully Gordon Smith guitars last a lifetime too so no heart break!

CURRENT STOCK - NO WAITING!

As you may know Gordon Smith guitars are hand made and are always in extremely limited supply. I however have guitars made for me, wait for them, and then bring them to you cuttting the normal waiting time from 6 months to days!

I try and keep representative stock in at all times but it is hard to maintain stock. Please do enquire even if you cannot find your guitar listed - I will do my best to track your guitar down for you.

Arriving Shortly
Guitars currently in production I have lined up for presentation in store or for any customer wanting to cut down the waiting time...

Gordon-Smiths Premier UK Specialist

" I have been a fan of Gordon-Smith guitars from the moment I experienced my first one. It was a Gypsy 1. It was taken in as my first ever part exchange 16 years ago. At the time I knew little of the brand but from playing it I instantly knew it was something special. 16 years later my father still owns it after I gave it to him (he plays guitar of course and I knew how much he would appreciate it).

To this day I work hand in hand with John and Linda ensuring my customers receive the very best examples of their work and receive the bespoke service to which they have become accustomed.

Anything you need to know about Gordon-Smith, please contact me on the live help facility. I can help you build your perfect guitar and once it is built it will be set up in our own workshop to your personal requirement.

I could talk all day about these truly special, remarkable guitars - so if you want to know more, just talk to me. You will be in the safest hands"

Stonebridge 23 SF (GS,OMS,SS, DS) £1,399.00(Euro 1,586.47) Why have I never tried the SF range before?

Faith FNHG Neptune Hi Gloss Acoustic Guitar £608.00(Euro 689.47) The Faith Neptune is possibly my favourite of all Faith guitars. The body is deep enough to provide enough volume and bass response which I personally love in an acoustic.

Unique & Exclusive Added Value with Every Guitar (worth over £100)

When you buy a guitar from Richards guitars the first thing to take into account is that I (Richard) overseas the entire process beginning to end. The only aspect not handled by myself is the setup itself. I even personally pack the guitar after I have tested the guitar post setup.

Quality Control & Setup (worth £55)

Your guitar will be meticulously setup to the very highest of standards - even to your personal specification if you have one. This only occurs once the guitar has been inspected visually for any cosmetic flaws that occur in production instruments. Nobody in the industry cares more about the quality and playability of their guitars - guaranteed.

6 Month & 12 Month Checkup/Reset (worth £25 a visit)

Every day my workshop is responsible for checking guitars that have been brought back for their 6 and 12 month checks. During this process my technicians will check the setup, make any adjustments necessary and give the guitar a general overhaul bringing it back to its former glory. This healthcheck sets my service apart from all other retailers in the UK. I believe this service to be unique and am extremely proud to offer it to every customer if they wish to take advantage.

Showroom Opening Hours

10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Closed 1pm to 2pm for lunch

For Showroom Visitors...

I offer a bespoke service and deal with every sale personally. I follow the progress of each sale from beginning to end, personally book deliveries for dispatch and wrap and pack the guitars. I do this to provide a consistent, meticulous level of detail, giving myself the peace of mind that the beautifully setup guitars we generate do not get spoilt in transit. 1 guitar damaged in 3 years of delivering guitars around the World (around 10 a week) is testiment to the quality of my packing (Sad as it sounds I could bore you to death on how to deliver a guitar sucessfully!). This all takes up my time of course. For this reason I DO NOT promote the sale of accessories. My showroom opening hours enable customers to try and test my personal collection of recommended new and used guitars - whilst allowing me time to handle the various aspects of my customer enquiries (in store and online) - and of course deal with customers requiring guitar workshop repairs.

I DO NOT sell 3/4 size guitars. It is impossible to provide any level of taylored service at this price point and would feel nervous about supporting these guitars under warranty as they are built to a price. However, I will always be available to offer help and advice. I am here if you want some honest, professional direction.

I warmly welcome all guitar enthusiasts to visit me any time!
