Over a Decade Specialising in Godin Guitars

I have been one of the (if not possibly THE) leading Godin dealers in the UK for over a decade.

If you want specialist advice, full support and someone who shares a passion for Godin guitars then I am your man.

I will help you in any possible way I can to make your purchase an enjoyable one. Godin guitars are unique and so few dealers in the UK spend any time at all understanding their versatility. Electric/acoustic/synth combinations - even passive/active pickup combinations too.

Your First Choice For Stonebridge Guitars

In January 2007 I was introduced to Stonebridge guitars and have never look backed since. Quite simply World Class acoustic instruments that embarase the brand names you know and respect. There is nothing in the market that compares to Stonebridge in terms of resonance, tone and undeniable charm and charisma. Why not join the lengthy list of Stonebridge convertees- just pick one up and try it - thats all it will take. I work hand in hand with the UK supplier, keep comprehensive stock in wherever possible and know the range like the back of my hand. Please contact me to book a suitable time to try the range.

The Most Important Far Eastern "Brand"? Cort. Find Out Why...

Cort guitars are not a brand name, in fact you may not have heard of them. They are however one of the most significant guitar manufacturers in the World.

They produce the very best quality acoustic, electric and bass guitars.

Much of the Cort production ends up with brand names you WILL recognise on the Headstock. Fender, Tanglewood, G&L, Ibanez to name a few of the Brands who have used Cort production. I am dedicated to raising awareness of Cort quality and am uninterested in brand image and marketing. As a leading Cort specialist I can help you with any Cort enquiries.

 

Gordon Smith Guitars - The Uks Gibson

I specialise in a small number of brands which mean something very personal to me. Gordon Smith epitomises everything I stand for. These guitars have been hand made in the UK for the past 30 years and have never advertised in that time. They sell on pure quality and word of mouth between discerning guitarists who need a work horse instrument. These guitars have so much more character than any other guitar at the price. Each guitar is 6 months in the making but I do my best to pre-order a great selection for display in store.

From the producer of Ibanez, Schecter, G&L & other leding guitar brands is the M600. A true benchmark example of why so many guitar brands use Cort manfucturing.

Bottom line is you will not find a nicer example of this genre of guitar at the money. Forget PRS SE!

Faith FNHG Neptune Hi Gloss Acoustic Guitar

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. As you will see from the pictures the build quality and general asthetic beauty is second to none.

As with all Faith guitars the Neptune comes with fitted hardcase and if you want your guitar to look as good as it sounds you will not find a better guitar on the market.

Trust me!

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!
