Cort Exotic SFX Ash Electro Acoustic Guitar w' Solid Spruce Top

I have a number of guitars, but this Cort is in a class of its own it plays fantastic and you get a buzz from picking it up. For the price it's got to be the best value Ok the name might put some off but its quality speaks when you play. I like to play a bit of everything and it works with this guitar its a five *****

Great guitar perfectly setup.
Plays & sounds great

I’m a beginner and spoke to Rob about which guitar might be suitable for me. Rob was extremely knowledgeable as I was looking at an Eastman but he pointed me in the direction of the Cort-Core OC Maple after discussing my musical influences. I have to say the guitar is fantastic in looks and importantly in tone. I highly recommend Richards Guitars for anyone starting to learn. The pre inspection and set up was invaluable to me as a beginner. I am highly impressed with the service and the guitar!

Awesome service, communication and packaging. Richard delivered everything he promises on his website. The set-up was spot-on too. The Cort C5 Plus is a stunning looking and sounding bass guitar made from quality materials with great sounding, powerful Bartolini pickups.
'But', I don't think I'll be buying a bass with a natural finish again as the wood is quite soft and prone to 'dings'. I handled it as carefully as I could when first playing it, and yet still managed to pick up a couple of small dings. And as the wood underneath is lighter in colour than the wood-stained surface, dings are quite visible when they occur. If I wanted to resell this bass as mint, it's value has now decreased... unless I was to invest in some body repairs. But heyho, we live an learn. But for the rest I am absolutely delighted with my transaction and would recommend Richard's Guitars without hesitation. In fact I already have done.

Excellent, great service. Although there was a delay due to a supplier issue it was not the fault of the store. They kept me fully informed of the situation and gave me an (accurate) estimate of arrival and a choice whether to wait or cancel.

I chose to wait and the store got in touch when the guitar had arrived with them and was in the set-up queue. I was given the option to specify the set-up for the guitar but was happy to go with their regular set up specs.

Once it was ready I was informed and given the chance to alter the delivery date to suit when I would be home.

Richard’s also included a Goody Bag as I had a long wait (due to supplier, not shop) which was an extra touch of class.

The Guitar was really well packaged and very nicely set up and easy to play.

Set up is so important to making your guitar playable and it’s definitely worth waiting a few days more to have it included. Price was very fair and competitive especially considering what is included.

100% Recommended

Recieved all shiny ,new and set up with .11 gauge. Gigged last thurs nite and great sound and big frets ideal for fast legato runs tho relatively chunky neck (no wizard) but still comfortable to play. Looks great and build quality and hardware are all good.
Carry on the good work 😎

Best guys to deal with whole expirence is personalised

I started my second guitar purchase on 17 years a few months ago, tried out all the Taylor’s, Martins in my local shop and just could not justify £3k plus for the spec I wanted. I spoke to Richards guitars and settled on this one - thanks Jon for all the help!

I LOVE my Cort it’s truly beautiful and fits most styles. Would recommend this as a mod-range guitar under £2k!

You never disappoint. Thanks to Jon, Jake and Chris for the advise, bespoke setup and supply of my newest arrival, the Cort M600TBB. It might be cheap, but the quality and playability is great. It punches way above its weight and the free set up to my exact specification makes it feel like an old friend, equal to my 2004 PRS. I love it.

This is my first accoustic guitar, after 3 years of playing classical spanish, and its taking a while to get used to playing in a different position. The sound from this guitar is wonderful the feel is different as it is bigger. I am really enjoying playing ans learning a new guitar. If you are thinking of buying a second guitar I would recommend this one.

I’m a seasoned drummer who has messed about on acoustic guitar for many years, partially because it’s easier to cart about than a drum kit but I also hate tapping away on a practice mat. I thought I might add an electric to my toys and approached Richard’s team to get some advice. They talked me through the options and let me loose with various models and makes including the Cort M600. It played buitifully even though it was straight out of the factory. Richard’s team checked it over and set it up fully and once Santa had done his thing I got to play it again. I couldn’t be more pleased, it looks great, feels great and sounds great with enough variation in tone to keep me busy. It may have taken me a while before I bought one but I can’t imagine wanting to change it. Thanks guys. Hmmm, but … just how many guitars does a drummer need?

Love the guitar Richard was so generous with his time when I needed advice as a new learner. Guitar arrived today and is superb.

Spot on

A smashing affordable parlour guitar superbly set up to my specifications

The guitar is amazing. The support from Richard was great, I called up to get some advice, Richard really knows his stuff.
I chose to buy from here because of the set up that is provided, the guitar just feels right in my hands, the action is just right, I find it very easy to play.

The blue Cort M600 is an absolute delight... to play and to look at.
I can't thank Richard, John and luthier Chris for setting it up in double-fast time so I could take it way within days.
The price is astonishing for such a well-made guitar and to include a full set-up as well is a real credit to Richard's Guitars.
Excellent value from an excellent team!

I have no words, it looks and feels amazing. Im a big fan of the open pore woods, lets face it, you want to enjoy the feel of the guitar just as much as the sound.
It plays really well and the custom setup was just ridiculously good.
I have enjoyed this guitar so much, thanks guys :)

Fantastic support from the staff and a beautiful guitar, would highly recommend

Great personal service as always. The guitar arrived ahead of schedule, beautifully set up and plays nicely.

Excellent, great set up, stays in tune and plays well

Incredible guitar and service

The specs alone are a winner

Very please with my new guitar. Well set up and plays great.

The guitar was set up beautifully. Communication throughout was clear & pleasing. I’d recommend Richard’s guitars to anyone who plays & wants a great service. Thanks Jon Binns in particular..

Great looking guitar, set up included from Richards, which makes the price a bargain.
Absolute beginner, so difficult to comment more about the instrument. Service from Richards was excellent.
