Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.
No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary...
If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of "players benefits" which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid.

As a follow-up variant of the widely successful, multi-awarded G300 Pro, the new G300 Glam was designed for guitarists seeking a studio-grade versatile guitar with top-tier build quality and components in a glamorous eye-catching sparkling finish. The main feature that differentiates G300 Glam from G300 Pro is the 6mm maple top on a chambered African mahogany body that provides a perfect combination of deep, warm lows and bright punchy mid-highs with superb sustain while keeping the weight light. The ebony fretboard on the African mahogany neck provides sparkling highs and smooth slick playability. Available in the newly designed Polar Ice Metallic Burst finish.
Chambered African Mahogany Body with 6㎜(1⁄4”) Maple Top
Used by many boutique luthiers and guitar manufacturers across generations, this famous wood combination forms a perfect balance between deep and rich mid-low tones of the African Mahogany body and bright punchy tones of the 6㎜ (1⁄4”) maple top to produce a tone that has been heard on many historic records and concerts. The chambered design on the mahogany body helps reduce any excessive weight.
Seymour Duncan® SH2N & TB4 Humbucker
The Seymour Duncan® TB4 bridge humbucker and SH2N neck humbucker combined with a special 5-way wiring present all of the great modern and classic humbucker tones and two exceptional single-coil sounds for unmatched versatility with a clean and simple control layout. From over-the-top metal and shred to jazzy warmth and sparkling clean, the sounds are always musical with clarity as well as depth.
Custom Wired Electronics
The simple yet versatile control layout provides all the sounds the player needs while allowing the player to focus on playing and making music. The 5-way switch is custom-wired to provide glassy and sparkling single-coil sounds in the 2nd and 4th positions as well as the full-bodied and powerful humbucker sounds in the bridge, middle and neck positions.
This uncompromising tremolo system features stainless steel saddles, solid machined steel block, and steel baseplate to provide greatly improved sustain, faster and punchier pick attack and a more coherent and balanced fundamental tone. The recessed tremolo bridge allows for pull-ups to raise the pitch as well as pushing down for lowering the pitch, providing further tremolo versatility.
African Mahogany Neck & Ebony Fretboard
The rock-hard ebony fretboard offers slick playability and precise note playing, while the African mahogany neck provides tone warmth, long sustain, and great tone transfer.
The newly designed Ergo-V neck profile and shape provides more comfort at any position across the entire neck for enhanced playability.
Graphite Reinforced Neck
The neck on the G300 Glam has been reinforced for added rigidity and stability using two special inserts. This is constructed with two pieces of graphite installed to add stability while still retaining the natural properties of wood to further upgrade the G300 Glam.
Compound Radius Fretboard(12”-15.75”)
A deluxe feature for players who like to transition from easy chording on the low register to high-speed soloing and enhanced string-bending on the upper register, the compound radius facilitates easier playability so you can focus on your playing.
Graph Tech® Black TUSQ Nut
Preferred by many guitar makers and players for rich tone and sustain, the TUSQ® is an advanced polymer that's formed under high heat and pressure for uniform density. It's designed to transfer string energy more efficiently, and to make guitars come alive with enhanced harmonics, volume and sustain.
Stainless Steel Frets
Stainless steel frets boast excellent resistance to corrosion. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords and a clear tone when playing single notes.
Cort® Staggered Locking Tuners
The Cort® staggered locking tuners provide excellent tuning stability as well as ease of tuning and string changes. A simple, elegant and efficient way of tuning, these tuners will allow you to focus on your playing.
Luminlay Side Dots
The Luminlay side dot position markers make it easy for players to see the fretboard position when performing on dark stages.
