Best Electric Guitar Brand Under £1000 #1

Cort

WHY?

Cort are the largest manufacturer of guitars in the World - producing guitars for the biggest names in the Industry.

Cort Guitars are the "go to" manufacturer of the biggest brand names because they have the highest levels of quality and consistency due to the most up to date and constantly evolving production techniques

Because people tend to be very easily led by marketing and hype they tend to buy the brands MADE BY Cort - rather than A Cort - for this reason you will get far more guitar for your money if buyig a Cort guitar due to lower prices

No question therefore that Cort guitars deserve a mention for being one of the best electric guitars you can buy under £1000 - although most of their guitars will be well below £1000 - 50-75% of £1000 - but they will be comparible to guitars you will see by the brands they produce for nearer the £1000 mark.

Best Electric Guitar Brand Under £1000 #2

FGN

WHY?

If you have read about Cort guitars you will know you have "brands" and you have ACTUAL manufacturers.

Fujigen is a factory and FGN is the "in house" brand for Fujigen.

Why is that important? Well - Fujigen are responsible for some of the most iconic electric guitars in history and built their name as the leader of high end mass produced guitars.

The phrase "MIJ Guitar" was coined from the successes of the Fujigen factory because the Fujgen factory is in JAPAN (MIJ = Made In Japan).

You have to experience a FGN instrument to fully understand and appreciate the incredible level of detail and attention to quality - such as fret work including polishing and fret ends = so beautifully smooth, I know it sounds geeky but if you run your hands down an FGN fretboard its like no other at the price - brilliant and their fretwork alone sets them apart from any other guitar manufacturer at this price.

Even if you dont buy a Cort or a FGN - you do at least now know where some of your other guitars probably came from if they are "big brands".

Godin

WHY?

Produced in Quebec - Canada - Godin guitars dont just build guitars - they truly innovate.

SO many electric guitar brands merely knock out same ol' same ol' models and designs - and as I have mentioned generally don't even make them (They just "brand" them and leave it to the marketing team to do the rest).

Godin on the other hand have been constantly evolving - constantly thinking about what electric guitar players need ion stage or recording.

HDR (H Definition Revoicer) was one innovation - they also specialise in hybrid electrics with acoustic pickups - as well as more contemporary designs you are used to seeing by American brands - but always with their own useful - well thought out design features.

Quality from Godin is once again - impeccable.

Godin guitars tend to be the choice instrument of pro players around the World - Session musicians who need rely on a consistent, stable instrument rather than the famous frontmen who get paid by big brands to have their guitars seen by a massive audience.

Great service as a new beginner choosing a guitar

Great service as a new beginner choosing a guitar, they selected a range of guitars to try at my leisure not time constraints no pressure they were available to help me choose. I bought a LAG parlour guitar exactly what I wanted.

Love this guitar

Love this guitar, as a very old (76 years) beginner it’s everything I wanted.
Richards Guitars, couldn’t wish for better service, no pressure to buy, just settle down and try whatever you like, no rush and no hassle from anyone. Thanks to everyone for making the experience so easy.

A must for any guitarist to visit Richards guitars.

We were having a few days away in Stratford upon Avon so booked to visit Richard’s guitars. Easy to arrange and fabulous service from start to finish. So Lynn played with some selected guitars and while we did that we had her fender set up correctly as it was only a few months old but Lynn felt it wasn’t right and my god the difference is unbelievable. Where it was going out of tune constantly and had buzz fret It’s brilliant now. While there after trying different guitars we bought a Lag which was again professionally set up and sent to us a week later. Again brilliant service

5 star service

5 star service, I appreciate the care giving from order to delivery of my new guitar. I’m very happy with my purchase and will be sure to shop here again in the future. Thank you

Auden in Hungary

The customer service at Richard 's guitars couldn't be friendlier, quicker and kinder. Exchanging emails with Jake and Jon was like talking to them in a bar. 🙂🎸🎵🍷Arranging the shipping to Hungary wasn't easy - it took me some time to find the best way - but they were really patient, open and helpful, for which I am very thankful. The guitar, the Auden Emily Rose Neo is sweet, gorgeous and inspiring, both in looks and in sound! It is hard to put her down. 😊 I can't wait to record some songs playing her! Kind regards, Csaba

Excellent gig bag

Excellent gig bag. Fits my new Seagull Entourage very well

Worth the wait!!!

Although it took a little while to get the guitar in (not Richards Guitars fault - it was an importer problem), it was worth the wait.
I was able to book a showroom slot, the guitar had been set up for me according to my playing requirements, and I had a very pleasant hour or so trying the guitar - finger picking, strumming, different tunings, slide. No interruptions by staff - up to me when I had played enough. I was also given the option to play other guitars on display (I daren’t, otherwise I would have been there all day, and much poorer!).

I fully recommend Richards Guitars - the offer of 6-month and 12-month check-up for the guitar, with flexibility around timings for this service is great.

Extremely good service and helpful team throughout the process

Extremely good service and helpful team throughout the process. Thanks to Jon and Jake for answering all my queries.

One happy guitar player……

The staff at Richards Guitars gave me great service and Eastman make very good guitars.
The chaps at Richards sorted delivery of an Eastman E20 OM-MR-TC to their showroom to suit my travel timetable and arranged an appointment for me to check it out and to part exchange my E10. The E20 was perfectly set up by Chris ant Richards and I even got a discount because he noticed a slight cosmetic flaw on the guitar. All done painlessly. Many thanks.
I had my E10 OM as a working guitar for five years or so and was very pleased with it, but came to realise I prefer the sound of rosewood guitars to mahogany - neither is better or worse, it’s just personal taste. But this E20 is in another league - I don’t know if it’s the Madagascar rosewood or the torrefied Adironak top or something else, but it seems to have all the best features of rosewood and mahogany. It plays like a dream too. I have a forty year old Martin M36 and a 30 year old Gibson Advanced Jumbo and I can assure you this brand new Eastman is already playing in the same league.
