The Neo Classic series is a homage to traditional instruments, yet it is another creation in itself. With a traditional feel, it is a workhorse for gigging, touring, and studio musicians. The solid and precise build quality guarantees optimal tone and a great playing experience. A guitar that is both a familiar friend and worthy adversary.
All FGN guitars and basses come with a unique Circle Fretting System (C.F.S.). It was created by FGN based on an idea to offer better pitch and articulation than conventional guitars and basses. All frets are installed on fingerboard in slightly curved shape, so that every string crosses all the frets in 90 degrees, i.e. to offer a minimum contact of string on a fret, and it makes the scale length of every string even while it actually varies on conventional fretting. The C.F.S. is a solution of fretting on a traditional guitar and bass and it offers clearer articulation and tones which give dimension when you play a cord and also cut through the mix when you play single notes.
The compound radius fingerboard has smaller (rounder) radius towards nut while larger (flatter) radius towards neck end i.e. similar to a shape of a cone.This allows for much easier chord playing at lower frets while having less stress, especially when bending strings at higher registers.
Featuring Stainless Steel bolted on Stainless Steel Neck Plate offers quick response and punch.
Glow-in-the-dark side position mark works well on the stage while in the dark.

Richards Recommended
Customers praised this guitar as "excellent value" with superb tonal range and superior sustain. Shoppers noted it stays "more in tune all over the fretboard" and performs exceptionally well as a backup or primary instrument. Comes with a heavy-duty gig bag included.
After 20 years of only playing acoustic I decided to bite the bullet.. This is my second guitar purchase from Richard having bought a Furch several years ago. My FGN arrived in immaculate condition and beautifully set up playing perfect right out of the box. I was set on wanting a telecaster style guitar but after playing a number of fenders was always left disappointed. The quality of the Japanese craftsmanship cannot be overstated. In terms of how it plays it has a very flat fretboard which is a big plus for me and it does weigh a little more than average for a t style guitar but I guess thats what you get with solid ash bodies. At £849 including the full workshop setup this guitar is an absolute steal. I will enjoy playing it for many years to come.
Very pleased with the guitar, build quality, the lovely neck and overall feel of an excellent instrument. The set up from Richard's guitars is perfect for me.
I’ll start with the service. Richard’s Guitars has some of the friendliest and knowledgeable staff I’ve had the pleasure to buy things from. I have bought several guitars, new and used, from them over the years and always been really well advised.
I bought the FGN T style as a gigging backup for a Fender Custom Shop guitar. So, how come it’s more ‘in tune’ all over the fretboard, sustains better and has a superb range of tones from the pickups ? It’s excellent value and even came with a heavy duty gig bag. Delighted!
Great service from ordering, to update, to receiving a wonderfully packaged and perfectly set up instrument.
The guitar is perfect and the buying experience from Richards guitars matched it. 2nd purchase from Richards guitars and likely not my last.
Although I didn’t end up keeping the guitar I purchased from rguitars I found the customer experience through sales, to set up, delivery, query management, returns and refund absolutely exemplary and would not hesitate to return for a future purchase, many thanks to you all
Being in lockdown everything's a bit messy, but the Richard's team was very pleasant to deal with, albeit phone only. The guitar included a free setup which was done very well--intonation and action all perfect - no buzzing or other anomalies.
The guitar is fantastic, really a great instrument -- I've never owned a compound radius neck -- but really like it. It's noticeable, but not at all awkward to play. Also a matte finish on the 'back' of the neck which is great.
The pickups are great; they sound like what you'd expect, but that's a good thing. The tone control is good, very progressive, not a simple on/off type pot.
Overall fit/finish is high quality, it's as nice as my Dusenberg at 1/2 the price. I'm very happy with it.
Another great experience with Richards Guitars. Beautiful, beautifully well-built guitar. Made even better by the discount because of a scratched scratch-plate (but surely that’s what it’s for!). Arrived promptly and tremendously well packaged. Sounds like heaven even with my ham-fisted attempt at making it sing. Can’t fault it. Thanks again to Richard. Just trying to work out how to justify the acquisition of my next guitar to my wife. Stephen Barnes
