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!

- Stylish vintage appearance featuring appointments made from faux ivory and tortoise, white mother-of-pearl and black walnut.

Unique voicing process
The premium nature of the Vintage 1 SM is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Vintage 1 SM has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.
Special hand-brushed finish
The instrument is protected by Full-Pore Vintage Hand-Brushed Finish, a special finish that provides excellent surface protection and accentuates the structure of the wood at the same time. Final hand buffing leaves the guitar with an attractive patina that is reminiscent of aged musical instruments.
Furch CNR System® Neck Design
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.
Stylish appointments
The traditional look of the Vintage 1 SM is underscored by faux tortoise pickguard, double ring rosette with black walnut inlay and body binding made from faux ivory.
Excellent machine heads
The Vintage 1 SM has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Gotoh SE700 Nickel Patina machine heads with a 1:15 gear ratio.
Pearl position markers
The fretboard features white pearl side position markers and fingerboard inlays that improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.
High-rigidity Hiscox case
Maximum protection during transport is provided by a high-rigidity Hiscox case with polyurethane insulating foam that shields the instrument from changes in external climatic conditions.
