In this first video I introduce you to a customers guitar which is about to go into our workshop for setup and I show you just how many modifications and improvements will be made to the guitar.
This second video shows the guitar going through the workshop process. This process takes around an hour but dont worry - its just highlights!
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. I can demonstrate that a guitar purchased from Richards Guitars will... Sound Better Feel Better Play Better Stay In Tune - Longer Look Better Want more reasons to buy from Richards Guitars? After Sales support A second guitar setup to your new guitars standard for just £35 - Got a guitar at home that you think could be improved? Drop it in and we will do over £55 worth of work for just £35 6 & 12 month checks and "re-sets". A *FREE follow up service for any of my customers. We will ensure your guitar plays like the day it left our store (minus your own wear and tear of course!) saving you £££ on pricey guitar technicians bills. If we find any parts that are failing that are not due to normal wear and tear we will replace them free of charge! Over the past 20 years I have worked hand in hand with suppliers, reporting back with fault "trends" and ways to improve products supplied to us. Companys I have dealt with have been listening intently over the years and we know what value our input has brought to their brands. To summarise, a guitar supplied by Richards Guitars will not just feel like a new guitar, it will feel like YOUR guitar. * Due to the need to check your intonation & adjust accordingly you must bring in your guitar with BRAND NEW strings fitted (original guage as setup when sold) OR pay our technician to remove your old strings and fit new ones - guide price £16 including strings. It is impossible to check intonation accurately with old strings. Past 2 Years Of Customers (Image only shows some of the UK!)

I have provided a guitar meticulously quality controlled and set up to their personal specification.

The AC122-2ce CD has now been discontinued in the Natural finish and has been re-introduced in Black which you can find here:
https://rguitars.co.uk/products/eastman-ac122-2ce-bk
The Eastman AC122-2CE has become my "go to" recommendation for anyone looking for the most INCREDIBLE all-rounder instrument - but there is NOTHING all-rounder about the tone from this incredible guitar.
The Eastman guitars put many brands to total shame - the difference between what this guitar achieves and even guitars by other brands at twice the price is remarkable.
The auditorium body shape is very comfortable - so if you want a nice easy guitar to hold it ticks the box.
If you want a sweet sounding instrument you have come to the right place with a cedar top (which gives you a warmer tone than spruce - if you want the more biting tone then check out its sister the AC122-1CE) and sapele back and sides. All solid woods! The all solid wood nature of the guitar ensures the very best tone and resonance.
OK - so we know its super comfortable and it sounds amazing!
The guitar has a beautifully discrete pickup system with a tone and volume sound wheel under the lip of the sound hole. A perfect solution for those open mic nights!
The guitar comes with a beautiful gig bag which is nicely padded offering excellent protection.
Of ALL acoustic guitars we sell at Richards Guitars - this guitar will always be on my personal list of recommendations. If you want a little more bite - maybe a little more crisp edge - then the spruce version (AC122-1CE) is equally wonderful.
Watch my video shown in the thumbnails where I discuss the two models and give them both a play!
