Proudly Presenting Lowden Guitars
So proud to annouce - I am now a Lowden Acoustic Guitar Dealer! I must have died and gone to heaven... ...
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
Richards guitars provided an unbelievable experience via on line purchase. he guitar came well packed and arrived in fantastic condition. Communication via email was flawless. I've attached a picture of me in the Amazon jungle from this past July!
Just bought another wonderful guitar from Richard's Guitars. It's an Auden 12 string. It's what I was missing in my arsenal of guitars. It is an amazing guitar that was recommended to me by Jon and Jake and they never let me down. It sings so sweetly and I can't put it down. Another massive thanks to Richard, Jon, Jake and Chris the guitar tech for all the expert advice and knowledge they gave me. They are all so understanding and great guys. The fingertips are sore but I'm a very happy guy...all the best, Barrie
J'avais rendez-vous pour essayer quelques guitares dans la salle d'exposition.
Jake en avait déjà sélectionné quelques-unes qu'il pensait susceptibles de m'intéresser et il était à ma disposition pour me donner des informations et des conseils. Ce fut une expérience très agréable. J'ai joué de nombreuses guitares pendant ces trois heures et je ne me suis jamais sentie bousculée ou mise sous pression de quelque manière que ce soit.
Les guitares Dowina sont parmi les plus belles que j'aie jamais vues et elles se jouent à merveille.
Finalement, j'ai choisi une Furch. Le son est exceptionnel - riche et résonnant.
J'ai quitté la salle d'exposition avec la certitude d'avoir choisi la bonne guitare pour moi et j'ai payé un prix très raisonnable.
La guitare a été livrée trois jours plus tard. J'avais demandé quelques ajustements mineurs qui ont été faits et, dans l'ensemble, l'installation était parfaite.
C'était un plaisir de traiter avec toute l'équipe et je suis un client très satisfait. Je recommande vivement.
J'ai 74 ans, je joue de la guitare électrique depuis mon adolescence et je n'ai pas possédé de guitare acoustique depuis mon adolescence "folk". J'ai joué dans des groupes pendant de nombreuses années, mais j'ai arrêté il y a quelques années, car j'ai des problèmes d'arthrite dans les mains. J'ai toujours trois de mes guitares électriques, mais je voulais une acoustique afin d'encourager des moments de jeu plus spontanés au lieu d'avoir à sortir un amplificateur et à mettre en place une installation électrique. Je pense également qu'une guitare acoustique me permettra de me concentrer sur ma technique.
J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à rechercher des marques et des fournisseurs et à lire des critiques. Richards Guitars m'a semblé avoir une attitude très orientée vers le client et, après avoir parlé à Jake de ma liste restreinte et suivi ses conseils très honnêtes, j'ai commandé une LAG T118ACE. Le fait que Richards Guitars ait réglé la guitare avec la meilleure action possible a été un facteur important et, en quelques jours, ma guitare est arrivée prête à jouer. C'est une véritable beauté et un instrument de qualité ! Tout au long du processus, Jake a été là pour moi, répondant à mes questions et m'orientant dans la bonne direction.
Un grand merci à Richards Guitars. Il ne me reste plus qu'à me réhabituer à jouer d'une guitare acoustique !
Thanks very much to Richard's Guitars for providing such an outstanding service.My beautiful guitar arrived in perfect condition and was set up perfectly and ready to be played straight from the box.This service was invaluable to me as It would have been very hard for me to find someone in my area to do a proper set up for me.All in all top class.I'll definitely be back.
Thanks again.Luke.
