"Richards Top Recommendations": Electro Acoustic Guitars (From £200 to £3000) You HAVE To Try
Below, you will find the culmination of30 years research - fine tuned to a list of my personal favorites.
Needless to say - any guitar on this list is a 100% bona fide benchmark at the price and will almost certainly provide you a better instrument - and cost you less -than what you THINK the benchmarks are (if you listen only to mainstream marketing and brand hype).
As one of the World's leading specialists in all the brands I supply - I could bore you to death about why these guitars are listed, have presented numerous videos on personal recommendations - and have many thousands of reviews from customers all around the World to back up my feelings.
I hope you find this shortlist of value and that you use it as part of your research.

After 20 years of only playing acoustic I decided to bite the bullet.. This is my second guitar purchase from Richard having bought a Furch several years ago. My FGN arrived in immaculate condition and beautifully set up playing perfect right out of the box. I was set on wanting a telecaster style guitar but after playing a number of fenders was always left disappointed. The quality of the Japanese craftsmanship cannot be overstated. In terms of how it plays it has a very flat fretboard which is a big plus for me and it does weigh a little more than average for a t style guitar but I guess thats what you get with solid ash bodies. At £849 including the full workshop setup this guitar is an absolute steal. I will enjoy playing it for many years to come.

Great set up completed on two Les Pauls both guitars play and feel amazing and very reasonably priced - thank you for such a great service and highly recommended
