¡Marca Vintage ProShop 59 SD Custom Smashes It Out The Park!

OK I will put my reputation of 27 years right on the line here.

About 15-20 years ago I was a Fender main dealer. Men in suits would tell me what guitars I now had to be enthusiastic about - which models were discontinued, which colours were now discontinued - which colours I now had to push. Soul destroying - for anyone who LOVES guitars - Representing Fender was totally soul destroying..... So obviously as I am now proudly waving my ADHD diagnosis..... that wasnt the point of my story!!

My point IS..... As part of my Fender journey was my attempt to promote the "Relic" models. OMG..... I literally couldnt believe my eyes - maybe they have improved these days but when I was doing them they looked NOTHING like an old guitar - Customers would literally laugh and point and say "WHAT is that? What have they DONE?!!" Needless to say these weren't my happiest times.

This leads me to my latest project with Vintage Guitars! Vintage Proshop is a concept whereby within reason - I can mess around with ideas, colors, hardware options - all in their UK workshop - using the amazing Vintage guitars as the basis from which to build from. Its a beautiful idea. Its right up my street to say the least and am working with them currently on a number of specials that tick my boxes and hope will tick yours too.

Whilst I love what I call " Post Apocalyptic" concepts (trust me - they will be so cool - and individual), this one is way more in line with traditionalists!

There is NO question - whatsoever - in terms of Vintage vibe - character - authentic "it looks old" ability...... This knocks a Fender out the park - when you consider this is £899 Vs god knows how many thousands you pay for the Fender badge.

I think Electric guitars should be fun - exciting - make you smile when you pick them up and play them. Vintage really do this and I want to thank them for creating a project that proves you CAN afford a UK built custom shop guitar - made literally for you - at a price that is still affordable even in todays climate.

I want the heavily distressed black Vintage V120 that was posted on Instagram. Can you tell me if you still have it and the price please?
Thanks

Sorry but the “relic” boat left behind. I cannot fathom how anyone can inflict damage to a new guitar. If damage occurs for real?, then it’s real (and regrettable) and if it’s not?, it’s bogus!
I cannot view this any other way.
What stumps me more is people pay for it!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Para mí, no hay diferencia entre la vida "personal" y la "profesional", todo es "mi vida". Interconectada y, por tanto, muy personal. Cada guitarra que vendo (TODAS) es una guitarra de la que puedo contar la historia, sobre las personas que la fabrican, el espíritu de la marca y cómo se alinea con el mío, son auténticas recomendaciones personales basadas en 28 años en el sector.

En un sector dominado por el marketing, el bombo y platillo yla lealtad "ciega" a las marcas, los vendedores se centran en lo que se les pide, sin hacer apenas esfuerzos por dar a conocer guitarras mejores que la que se les pide. Esto lleva a muchas decisiones de compra equivocadas.

He aquí una rápida introducción a las marcas a las que a menudo me refiero como "mis bebés", pero que en realidad podría denominar simplemente "puntos de referencia". Comprueba los precios - comprueba las especificaciones - comprueba la calidad y la historia - y encuéntrame una marca que lo haga mejor - o incluso cerca. El hecho es que no se puede comprar una mala guitarra de Richards Guitars - sólo encontrará la mejor - configurado a sus necesidades personales.

Furch lo cambió todo...

Introduje Furch en el Reino Unido hace más de 20 años, con mi buen amigo Keith Twine, ya jubilado.

Por aquel entonces era un importante proveedor de marcas como Gibson, Martin y Taylor. Experimentar las guitarras Furch me hizo darme cuenta de que existe lo que "sabes" y lo que "deberías saber". El hecho de que no lo sepas no significa que no exista.

¿Qué significa todo esto? Olvídese de lo que cree saber y abra su mente a la posibilidad de encontrar algo mejor -y le garantizaremos una experiencia que nunca olvidará- con la ayuda de Furch y de mis otros hallazgos personales a lo largo de las décadas.

Con una increíble historia de fondo - una marca verdaderamente británica pero global que utiliza las habilidades compartidas del equipo de Gordon Smith en Inglaterra y un pequeño taller boutique en China - ¿El resultado? Una calidad increíble que supera con creces la de marcas reconocidas producidas en serie al mismo precio.

Gran servicio

If your looking for your "special guitar", this is a great place to go. Good advice and you are given time to find what you are looking for.

Eastman E1D classic finish.

I never write reviews but this guitar is so good I feel like I should. The guitar sounds amazing and looks good to . The set up was perfect easy to play but more importantly no buzzes on any note. I hate pic guards on guitars so I peeled mine off and was delighted to see no marks on the finish

Furch Yellow OM-SR+LR Baggs Anthem

I have been thinking of buying a smaller bodied acoustic guitar for a while now. Having a Gibson J45 I started looking at Martins , Taylor, etc. They were all great but they were expensive, well the best ones were!!
Then I stumbled upon Furch guitars at Richard’s Guitars and started to do some research and they kept coming up trumps against the big American Brands. Pound for pound you were getting a quality guitar for a lot less outlay. I then made enquiries about some models and ended up with Furch’s Yellow Series OM-SR and elected to have an LR Baggs Anthem fitted. Anyway, it turned up a week ago and I’m only just leaving a review as any spare time I have I’m playing it.
It’s amazing 🤩. Great tone, easy to play due to the setup from the guys at Richard’s. The workmanship is flawless and it just feels like a quality instrument. There wasn’t a single mark, finger prints or any other blemishes so it was really packed carefully with the end user in mind when opening up the case to see it for the first time. It was sent Via DX by which once on its way on the day of delivery you could follow the van all the way to your door online.
It did take 2 weeks to come even though in stock but to be fair I was aware of that so had to be patient. I’ve bought guitars online before which turned up next day but they weren’t setup so they had to go away for that to be done.
Plenty of emails to keep you posted on where the guitar was in the queue and a phone call on the day of shipping to confirm my address.
I hope one day to make a visit from Suffolk to Richard’s Guitar Shop to purchase another!! Thanks to everyone there.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice I'm in love !

Very good store ! I've received my guitar yesterday, and everything is working well, very nice quality, I love it !

Furch Violet Deluxe Gc ER, a Duo of Bevels and Rosewood Back & Sides

I wanted to get my son, Griff a special acoustic guitar for his 18th birthday. We had tried some nice Martin’s, Faith’s and Taylor’s locally in Cardiff however I had read some great reviews about Furch and thought we should try them.
With no local dealers stocking them, I found Richard’s Guitars online and through their website also became curious about Dowina, Auden and Eastman acoustic guitars.
We decided to have a daytrip to Stratford Upon Avon and had a 2 hour session exploring their wonderful range of superb guitars.
A special thank you to Jake who was very well informed and unobtrusively on hand for advice to help us make a decision.
Griff liked the tone of the Furch Violet Gc ER with its solid rosewood back and sides but he also liked the shape of its mahogany back and sided stablemate, the Furch Deluxe Gc EM with its duo of bevels.
Jake told us that Richard’s Guitars had ordered 4 custom built Furch Deluxe Gc models with spruce tops, rosewood back and sides and the bevel duo (not on Furch’s website but in effect Deluxe Gc ER). They contacted Furch to ask if one could be expedited from the factory in the Czech Republic in time for Griff’s birthday. It arrived at Stratford well ahead of the big day. Richard’s luthier Chris fitted an LR Baggs Anthem pick up and had it delivered to us in a beautiful Vintage Deluxe Tweed hard case as part of the deal.
The guitar looks and sounds absolutely stunning! The grain on the rosewood is gorgeous and to have solid rosewood back and sides with double bevels from the well known american companies would be over twice the price!
What an amazing relationship Richard’s have with Furch and what a fantastic experience we have had with Richard’s Guitars.
Thank you once again
Dan, Cardiff

Fantastic archtop, great communication and service

A wonderful archtop acoustic from Eastman, 16 inch bout and basically a more affordable Gibson L5. Fantastic service from Richard and the team, great communication throughout, and the guitar arrived in absolutely perfect condition and plays wonderfully. Its getting a daily workout of Eddie Lang!

Eastman T386 (After 1 year, and having bought more from Richards Guitars)

I was anew customer when I purchased my Eastman T386 just over a year ago, and was very pleased with thre service and expertise of the staff, as well as the wonderful experience I had choosing the guitar oin their showroom. I went on to buy another guitar (this time a Fretless Bass, by Cort) which was a "Pre-Loved" instrument. Again the experience was very good, and the setup was excellent. Having recently had mny free 1 year setup up, I can again say that thee service offered at Richards Guitars is second to none. They are accommodating when it comes to organising things to suit you, and the setup itself ranks as the best I have ever had.

Incredible guitar

Handmade with precision and attention to detail by Eastman. Set up to perfection by the Richards Guitar team.

A modern boutique re-imagining of the classic single-cut mahogany bodied guitar of the '50s.

Beautiful clear, articulate, and dynamic tones. My Eastman SB59 is my main guitar, used for writing, recording, out on the road, and peaceful moments of home playing.

Bought on trust ... and they delivered.

I purchased my Furch, sight unseen and unplayed. I explained to Jake my style of music, how I played and the sound I was looking for. Originally I thought a Dowina was for me but after a few online chats, watching a few online videos etc., I was persuaded that I should go for Furch Blue Gc-CM Master's choice with the CNR active neck model instead. I am extremely pleased with the service I received, the advice given and the updates on ordering, arrival and delivery. All spot on. I was in no great hurry to get it but it was good to be kept informed.

T98 ACE

This guitar is something special to hold, to play and to look at. It really is beautiful in all aspects. I had wanted to buy another acoustic (ideally electro) for a while and with the advice of a friend who has the T98 Parlour Lag I went for the T98 ACE. I wanted a high quality guitar that would feel equally at home with finger picking and strumming, had a warm tone, well balanced highs and lows, has a lovely resonance and could somehow effortlessly amplify my soft figure picking in the absence of long finger nails...oh and at a modest price (below £500) - not too much to ask for right!? Ha ha

Well I must say this has exceeded all expectations and I got more than I'd hoped for with the T98 ACE and that's even before I plug it in!

What made it even more special was the much needed advice and guidance I received from the team at Richard's Guitars whilst weighing up my options as well as the care and attention that went into setting up the guitar to my specifications and making sure that it was nothing less than amazing before it was posted out.

The quality of the guitar makes me play better and sound better. Part of my goal was to get back into guitar playing after going through a period of years where life was getting in the way. I can safely say since purchasing this guitar I have played more in the past few weeks than I had in the past 5 years! It even spurred me on to put up a proper guitar hanging rack.

I highly recommend the guitar and what's more I highly recommend Richard's Guitars
