I pride myself in offering no hidden charges. Setup is FREE (See premier service). As are your optional 6 and 12 month checkups and reset service.

I would hate for you to think of Richard's as an online store - even as a "guitar shop". Think of me more as someone with whom you can consult with regards to your next purchase and someone who only wants to offer you the very best guitar purchasing experience and back up service.

In order to provide the most personalised and secure method of payment you have the option to order and have NO credit card details are passed over the internet. In this World of automation businesses would generally prefer the payment to be handled automatically but I am happy to process your payment over the phone. This means that I can use this time to discuss your order, set up details and so on at the same time. If you have any questions at all, these can be answered whilst I am processing your payment.

To process your payment I use a a very well regarded company called Netbanx using a system called "Virtual Terminal", the details of which can be found here http://www1.netbanx.com/solutions/payment-setup-options/virtual-terminal.html

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!
