Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.
No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary...
If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of "players benefits" which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid.

For a long time, the X Series has represented Cort’s strong ambition to push the limits of conventional electric guitars, resulting in extraordinary instruments that often become the new standard of extreme guitars. With the introduction the new multi-utilitarian X700 Mutility, Cort is pushing the limits even further with modern features like roasted maple neck and fretboard with 24.75” – 25.5” multi-scale frets, Luminlay markers on side of the neck and fretboard, a new improved body contour, and Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbucker set with 2 voice-select option. The X700 Mutility is sure to astonish and please guitar players that seek ultimate versatility and playability in a stylish package.
Maple and Ash Top on Mahogany Body
The combination of maple and ash top on a mahogany body ensures a great balance between warm yet full sounding lows and bright and transparent highs, not to mention beautiful wood grain of ash top on non-painted areas for a more natural organic aesthetic.
Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbucker
Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire wound pickups— revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.
1 Volume & 1 Tone Push/Pull Knob with 3 Way Pickup Selector
While maintaining a simple look, the ingenious push/pull function on both the volume and tone knob in combination with 3 way pickup selector unleashes the full potential of the Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbucker set.
- Volume Knob Push/Pull: Voice1/Voice2
- Tone Knob Push/Pull: Full Humbucker/Coil-Split
Individual Hardtail Bridge
Individual hardtail bridge unit for each string that feeds through the body results in greatly improved sustain, superb string separation for greater articulation and precise intonation.
Updated Body Contour
Deeper belly cut and lower horn cut on the back side of the X Series provide players with greater comfort and optimized playability.
Spoke Nut Hotrod Truss Rod
The spoke nut Hotrod truss rod ensures smooth and precise setting of the neck bow. Often overlooked by many guitarists, the neck bow (or relief) is very critical for the best possible playability. This spoke nut truss rod adjustment feature allows the player to dial in the exact amount of neck bow depending the player’s technique and playing style.
Multi Scale (24.75″-25.5″) Frets
The multi-scale length conforms to how your hand moves up and down the neck so that your wrists and fingers naturally follow the layout of the frets as you move from the low to the high register of the fingerboard. For X700 Mutility, the neutral fret (the center of the spread of the frets) starts at the zero fret.
Stainless Steel Frets
Stainless steel frets boast excellent resistance to corrosion. The wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response, good articulation when playing chords and a clear tone when playing single notes.
Roasted Maple Neck & Fingerboard
By treating the Maple wood in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability as well as a more vintage look and big bolder tone.
Luminlay Side and Fingerboard Markers
The Luminlay dot position markers make it easy for players to see the fretboard position when performing on dark stages.
