Outstanding Guitar Exceptional service

I’ll start with the guitar. Exceptional. It feels like a £4000 instrument for not even half the price. Great quality case too. I. Knew I’d be impressed but didn’t think I’d be incapable of putting the guitar down.

Onto Richards Guitars…
Outstanding customer service from start to finish
Constant communication with the progress of the transaction from getting the guitar into the shop, to the custom set up, to the final check by Richard himself and then shipping.
Took about a week from buying the guitar to getting the knock on the door from the delivery man. Just brilliant…..oh and the set up is spot on, nice low action as requested.

Cannot reccomend Richard’s guitars enough and I know this will be my first port of call for purchases in future

Thank you team for the exceptional instrument

Buy with confidence

I've been buying guitars from Richard for over 20 years and had confidence to order this guitar without visiting the shop. The advice and communication is spot on from intitial inquiry to delivery.

The case is high quality and very well fitted to the guitar. The photos on RGuitars are lovely but the guitar is even better IRL. The set up and finish of the guitar is faultless. I like the string spacing at neck and bridge ideal for fingerstyle but responds fery well to strumming. The short scale makes hanging your thumb over and bending easy. Guitar makes a sustaining bell like tone. Neck is lovely. Nice profile and satin non sticky finish which will play in.

Hello, I tried to give

Hello, I tried to give you a, very positive, review some days ago, but could not work out how to do it on your site. So I sent the review to your support team and asked them to put it up. Here is the review that I sent to them, again:
"Excellent Eastman OM Adirondack spruce on rosewood guitar - hard to imagine a more beautifully sounding OM guitar. Great playability too - perfectly set up before shipping. Excellent, helpful and honest communication from the team; by an oversight they charged me UK VAT, which is not applicable to me here in Ireland, but they promptly refunded it as soon as they spotted it. The only downside was the lamentable performance of UPS here in Ireland - not their human personnel, but their wildly inaccurate computerised tracking system.

I hope to visit the Richardsguitars shop one day soon, but must be careful not to go in with any money in my pocket...their guitars and service are pretty irresistible!"

I absolutely love the Eastman

I absolutely love the Eastman E20 OM TC!
I want to thank the team at Richard's Guitar for working with me to find the perfect guitar to support the music and playing stile I am studying. I appreciate their passion for finding quality instruments from smaller makers at an affordable price. Richard's Guitar will be my first choice for purchasing my next guitar. I am thinking about an electronic guitar in the future an Eastman Jazz box or a solid body from Gordan Smith.
I managed to remove the pick guard as I am mostly a finger style player and love the clean look without the plastic on the sounding board.

Guitar is fine. Delivery was

Guitar is fine. Delivery was 10 days after the setup which I thought was excessive, otherwise no complaints.

Hi. Its really killing me how many 4 star reviews we are getting lately because of the time it takes to make the guitar perfect. If we are to get 4 stars for being the very best at our work - then maybe I should just join the rat race who dont give a damn. Sorry you found the workshop queuing time excessive.

Beautiful playing guitar.

I've had this guitar for a few weeks now and can honestly say that it plays and sounds as well as a my friends Martin OM28. Although a different scale length they sounded identical in complexity of tones. Sonorous highs, warm mids and deep bass tones with a great playing feel.
Super happy

Eastman E20 OM TC

I had already made up my mind about finding myself an OM style guitar. So I did some heavy research on the net as one does as well as trying out various Martin's and clone Martin's. I stumbled on Richards Guitars website due to reading about the Eastman and in particular the E20 OM TC. I decided to put an order in for the TC after talking to Richard over the phone about Eastman and the E20 OM. Richard's passion and enthusiasm for his products is infectious, a very knowledgable likeable chap.
I went to play the guitar with a view to buying it if it felt right for me. The trouble was there was 2 TC's to choose from as well as a host of other guitars, it got pretty messy at one point but slowly things got eliminated down to 2 guitars.
No it was not the TC against TC, it was the Eastman E10/SS V that had me second guessing the TC. I am very glad to say that I chose the OM, I have had it about 4 weeks and I have already noticed very slight changes. Now that the strings have been played in I am over the moon with the guitar. This thing rings like a bell, very loud and open sounding perfect for finger style and because of the sustain it is great for slide too. The TC up against other non TC guitars in the shop came out noticeably better sounding so I would suggest going the TC route if it is an option available. Eastman guitars build quality is comparable to any high end hand made guitar worth over twice the price as far as I am concerned, no matter what country of origin. This E20 OM TC goes head to head in greatness with my 1994 Gibson J200 100th anniversary, oh yer the TC is louder too. When my LR Baggs Element is fitted this will be ready for gigging too. Absolutely no regrets whatsoever.
