FGN Neoclassic NTE100MAH, White Blonde Thinline Electric Guitar

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.

Correspondence was poor my opinion was that the guitar was not ordered and after I week if I didn't get back for update the sale would have been lost strap took another 2 weeks again forgot about just starting to use guitar and now having trouble with tone switch seems to be loose so I sort it myself would have thought it would have been picked up on going through the workshop checks?? Hence why I would like to be taken off your mailing thanks David

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
