I am extremely happy with my Danelectro DC59, Richards Guitars really do pay attention to detail regarding the setup of the instrument. The guitar arrived well packaged and was really well set up to the point where it was a joy to play. I will definitely be using Richards Guitars for future purchases, it really is worth the wait to receive a guitar that has been given the care and attention it needs before being shipped out.
The overall buying experience was much better than I had experienced from many of the faceless box shifters that dominate the U.K guitar marketplace.
I cant thank Richard and his team enough for such an amazing instrument and the Danelectro DC59 is no exception it resonates beautifully and I was also impressed with the decent build quality.
The Danelectro DC59 is a phenomenal guitar at this price point. Richards Guitars unique service and pre-shipping set up is the icing on the cake.
Thank you ever so much for a very special instrument that feels so good to play and will be treasured going forward.
Thank you SO much. I am so grateful that you have shared this experience and allowed us to share it with future customers.
We strive so hard to ensure you get the experince you detail and so glad its worked out so well for you.
Feel free to make use of the 6 and 12 month check and reset too, if you are in the area :)
Thanks again

Richard and his staff fitted this amp for me in a Furch GN2 and it works like a breeze. What really surprised me is how true the sound behind the amp sounds. I recorded and couldn't tell what was recorded behind the amp and without it. Incredible
So pleased you love it - I have spent my life in retail trying to distinguish which products suit my ear - and then I have to hope our customers agree. I suppose its no coincidence that the brands I love tend to focus on Fishman and LR Baggs - as their prefered pickup systems :) Thank you for the review.

Great guitar, extremely versatile and looks very cool. Straight out the box and did two gigs with it. Excellent service from Richards Guitars.

String broke after 3 days. Ordered locking tuners. wouldn't fit it because of the silver things inside the head stock holes. Do you know any locking tuner brands that will fit it. I had to bring it to local shop to get restringed I don't do standard tuning only locking. Apart from that a great guitar
Recommend it to anyone.

Muy buena comunicación con el equipo de Richard Guitars. Inicialmente solicité el modelo E30ME. Durante el traslado a la tienda de Londres la guitarra sufrió un desperfecto, por lo que me ofrecieron un descuento en este modelo Deluxe. Acepté y no puedo estar más contento. El único problema (culpa mía) fue el pago de impuestos y aranceles cuando el paquete llegó a España por proceder de fuera de la unión europea.
Pero la guitarra es perfecta. Muy buena puesta a punto por parte del equipo. Acabados muy buenos. El Ovangkol luce precioso y el sonido que emite la guitarra es fantástico.
Muy contento con la compra.
Your review in English...
Very good communication with the Richard Guitars team. I initially requested the E30ME model. During the transfer to the London store the guitar suffered damage, so they offered me a discount on this Deluxe model. I accepted and I couldn't be happier. The only problem (my fault) was the payment of taxes and duties when the package arrived in Spain because it came from outside the European Union.
But the guitar is perfect. Very good setup by the team. Very good finishes. The Ovangkol looks beautiful and the sound the guitar makes is fantastic.
Very happy with the purchase.
And my reply!

Very helpful and knowledgeable a long way for us to travel but I would definitely use them again.
At first I was disappointed but this guitar grew on me and I began to appreciated the quality of this guitar
Love the retro look of this guitar strap
Stunning guitar tonally and visually. Excellent service from Richards Guitars. Thanks again guys.
I initially ordered a mandolin with an oval hole. Jake got in touch to tell me this was out of stock but could be ordered to arrive within a few weeks, or alternatively I could have one with f holes which was in stock. I chose the latter and am delighted with it. The Mandolin arrived in perfect condition and the set up was superb, so lovely to have someone take the time to make sure your instrument is tuned correctly. I would highly recommend for the high quality customer service.
Really enjoying the guitar. I am a beginner, but the finish and quality is first rate. I feel compelled to keep picking it up and making effort to learn. Richard's guitars is a goldmine, and it has been a real pleasure dealing with them. The guitar was very expertly packed and arrived in great condition. The shop has a great philosophy and I would have no hesitation in using again. Highly recommend them.
I recently started playing guitar again & bought a Taylor BB, big mistake. While looking for a Martin I came across reviews for Furch and decided to give them a try and bought a Furch D blue. I was so impressed that I upgraded al little and added an OM yellow, I love it both aesthetically, tone and ease of playing. I am now considering going for one of the red series. Unfortunately most of them are not in stock but this will give me time to consider which one to choose. Thank you Richard’s Guitars.
Being mainly electric low action would have been nice. Not willing to drive from the south coast. I put my self into the hands of Richard guitars. £519 is a should have played it.
So didn’t have the finish I wanted, made do with the standard finish and wood. Plenty of updates going to the work shop etc.
So what an arrived.
Unpolished frets.
Not sure any animal died in the making of the bridge or nut. Bone?
Now allowing for this is my first acoustic guitar since 1974 I realise I’ve been spoilt string and action wise. As I’m only a bedroom balladeer my capabilities are well with this guitar so alls good.
Richard all I did was copy you in your vid. Stretched the string across the frets 5th 12th fret. I’ve known smoother house bricks. The Guildford Tescos ( guitar playing Sandi Tosvik) is an hour and half away. Perhaps next time.
Looks a sound guitar. I willing to put the effort in to love it.
I was enthused by Richard's video review of the Eastman E1D and enquired if one could be sent to my home in Cyprus. "But of course!" was the swift reply.
A few life issues got in the way but my guitar was eventually delivered by courier and found to be in faultless, wonderful condition. I am daily amazed and delighted by its sound.
In spite of the hold-ups, that were not of the team's making, I don't think I have ever been so painlessly separated from my money, nor so happy as a result!
Thanks guys. I am so happy to recommend you all. Five stars are not enough!
Excellent piece of kit. A great addition to tweak the sound of any guitar. Very well made and durable.
I can’t thank Richard’s Guitar enough as they were so helpful and patient throughout the purchase process. Initially I was a little disappointed with the finish on the guitar but I now have got used tho this and it is a really quality guitar with good quality fitted hardware. I will certainly use Richard’s Guitar again.
I am really pleased with the guitar and the service I received from Richards Guitars. I paid extra for the setup and I am glad I did as it plays really well.
This was my second buying experience from Richards Guitars,love the selection and quality from makers such as Dowina,Furch and Auden.The quality for the price you pay is a lot higher in my opinion.My first choice was a Dowina Acero which still makes me smile every time I play it.This time I chose a Furch OM Vintage 2 which compliments it beautifully.The quality of these two guitars is amazing.The buying experience from beginning was great again, dealing with Jon etc. Played so many amazing guitars but the Furch grabbed me this time.The guitar was set up nicely and I received within a week this time.Thank you again guys... I totally recommend.

We managed to get to view the guitars at short notice as we travelled from Cardiff without booking an appointment.
The guys in the showroom could not have been more helpful. They even set out all the Dowina guitars, so I could compare them both visually and for playability.
There was no pressure or time constraints and after being in the showroom for nearly two hours I eventually plumped for the Furch Blue GC SW.
I am thrilled with my purchase and thanks again to everyone at Richard's Guitars for being so helpful and understanding.
Great guitar for the price. Good service and the included set up is a welcome bonus. The set up takes the risk out of buying an unopened box.
The Auden Emily Rose Maple & Spruce is a beautiful guitar, that much is obvious from the pictures alone. I'm pleased to say, the playability and tone are every bit as satisfying. Great build quality and fantastic materials and at this price. Exceptional. It is also the first acoustic guitar I've bought that I haven't needed to set-up myself. Also great service from Richard's Guitars, so impressed I've just pushed the button on my second guitar from them!
