Communication with the shop for the setup and the delivery was great.

The guitar was exactly as described on the website.

The sound is really really nice and warm very good playability and just the correct size at least for me.

All and all was nice experience for sure if I get another guitar and Richard has it we get it from there.

Fabulous service from these guys. Always nerve racking buying guitar on line but advice was spot on. Perfectly set up and guitar sounds superb. Will definitely use Richards again and will not be a brand snob again. Eastman are excellent!

Absolutely made up with my new guitar and the service received from Richards Guitars.
The order process, subsequent updates and delivery were spot on. Thank you guys!

As for the guitar….. what a lot of guitar for such a reasonable price. Stunning sound, a pleasure to play, very well constructed and beautifully set up. It brings me joy every day!

Well - it was well

Well - it was well worth the wait! Looks stunning, plays like a very playable thing and I'm getting amazing responses to what it sounds like - already done five hours rehearsals and one gig with it.

Punches way above its price. Also worth noting in this review that I got the guys to fit a Fishman Matrix VT pick-up system to the E1 OM and it suits it to perfection, especially as you can add/remove mids and bass - ideal on a smaller-bodied acoustic.

Great guitar but not ioverly mpressed with service

Chose Richards Guitars as the free £100 set up sounded excellent and I had seen many of Richards videos and he is clearly passionate about his business and guitars. Ordered over phone, Jon very helpful. No email arrived as promised to arrange payment so I had to chase it up myself some days later. Was a bit miffed that Guitar arrived a week later than I expected. Ferrule buzzing loose in the headstock , sticking G in the nut ,very high action and zero relief in the neck and the paperwork didn’t match the guitar.
Emailed Richard and no reply. On receipt of my second email Richard replied he “thought he had replied” but still failed to answer any of my original questions. Another email and to be fair Richard did indeed offer to assist and wanted me to return the guitar to be sorted out as he thought the truss rod may have loosened in transit ?? Really ? I advised I was more than capable of doing this myself and was wary of shipping guitar back and forth. Richard agreed to send me another compensated saddle in case I over worked the original but weeks later it has not arrived.
I have played for nearly 50 Years and owned and set up over a hundred guitars and am not convinced that this guitar was set up in the first place. Whilst the offer to return it was well appreciated it shouldn’t have been needed. The guitar after some tweaking of the truss rod, saddle and nut now plays great . The Eastman E1 OM Classic is a fine well built guitar for little money. Sadly my personal experience of RGs service is not so good. I might as well have bought from one of the impersonal big boys.

HI. Thank you for your review. I appreciate constructive criticism but I dont think this review is fair to us.

People normally appreciate the fact we are not money grabbing!

I am upset that you found it negative that you had to chase us to take your money. We dont make chasing money the priority - our priority is your guitar and as long as we are paid when we ask - we are happy - and sorry this wasn't the case for you. Most find it a endeering feature of our service.

RE the setup. You tweaked the truss rod, the saddle and nut. So what you are actually saying is you wanted the action a little lower than was set. We would have been happy to do this for you if you had said you wanted a lower than standard action.

We offered to collect - reset - return. You didnt want us to. We would have happily paid a local tech to do the very basic work that was necessary as the guitar was clearly set up beautifully meaning you had little to do to tweak it as you suggest.

Most people dont set guitars up themselves and they are incredibly grateful for the fact we do.

My suggestion in future is to use box shifter mailer order companies. You set up guitars yourself - you will get it quicker and it wont matter if it plays like a bag of nails out the box because you have the skills to do it yourself.

It's exactly as Richard describes. All solid wood, well constructed , great tone, and loud. Set up immaculately and really a joy to play. I'm sure it'll get even better the older it gets.

Had a great couple of hours at richards. Jon and Richard, cool guys and you can try guitars at your leasure. My eastman was set up to my requirements and sounds superb. £499 for an all solid handmade guitar. Unbelievable. Thanks again guys.

Eastman E1 OM Classic guitar

Excellent service from Richard and his team. As an older beginner I wanted something that would be easy to play, great sounding and good quality and it excels in all of these.
The setup carried out by Richards team is perfect. I was kept informed on the status of the guitar and it arrived in perfect condition. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richards Guitars.
