I give up with trying to watch TV

Teresa bought me Amazon fire stick purely so I can use our TV and she promised me I wouldn’t need 3 remote controls to do it ….

Everyone’s out - a perfect moment to sit and relax ….

Pop on the news (seriously - I wouldn’t watch the BBC news if I was as able to actually find any other channel) but hey - it’s there and it’s option at least!!!

Apprarently the BBC news is age restricted… Omg.

I give up

The wonderful corporate World of Fender.

Basically - a bunch of suits who happen to sell musical instruments - but it may as well be cans of peas.

About a year ago they informed me I had to remove any reference to STRAT from wy website!!!!

I had to laugh - When I used my "Strat" search function it took me SO long to get through the damn checks.... The fact my business is based in STRATford ddint help.

Thankfully they didnt pursue the matter and I didnt have to move to a new town... Phew!

Thinking of buying a guitar and amp?

With guitar shops dwindling by the day, we will soon lose the value of what I call the "lived experience" that is only possible within a guitar shop itself.

The value of the advice we can provide someone starting out is worth its weight in gold and will benefit you for years to come.

So - instead of LOSING that experience, I am offering it to all my customers AFTER you buy online - FOR FREE.

Any customer who buys a Line 6 amp or who buys a guitar and amp combination (together) online can book an appointment with Jon (my manager) and spend some time going through your guitar and amp setup, making sure you know how to get the most out of it and making sure you have all the sounds you need to take your practice to the next level.

You can't beat the lived experience - so even if you are buying online - buy from us - and enjoy being pampered - we care about you getting the best out of your gear - and that you enjoy your time with us.

Online shopping doesnt have to be cold, detached and faceless - and it never will be at Richards Guitars.

I have been providing live chat all hours for 31 years - Since the very first EVER chat systems were available.

I was the first guitar shop to sell a guitar online.

I pioneered the sale of guitars online.

YET - througout - I have only ever used the internet to raise awareness of and to strengthen my bond - my connection - and to educate my customers. To empower them - to give them the ability to make what I hope are the best possible choices - and to look after them for the long term.

A website is a mirror of the person. A mirror of the ethos. When you visit a website - what does it tell you about that business?

I hope when you visit my website you see me - for better or for worse. Take it or leave it. I love guitars and I love helping people with theirs :)

I NEED YOUR HELP :)

I find the warm, what I would consider like an "autumn burst" are very popular with my customers and I have simulated a couple which I am hoping I can arm wrestle Veelah to produce for me :). With the instruments being such high quality and them seemingly open for feedback and guidance - I would love to give them some feedback from you guys? Sooo..... With the natural as your reference (and available in black currently too) - if you were looking for something bursty - would you go for one of these?

Want a super high quality electro acoustic under £300?

Veelah V1 OMCE is just one of a number of fantastic guitars coming directly from one of the finest manufacturerss in China.

Despite the Veelah factory being in existence for over 50 YEARS (!!) the success of the Vintage brand of guitars (made in the same factory but to lower specifications for Vintage) meant that Veelah would not be available in the UK - which is quite nomal when agreements are made between OEM producers and the brands they build for.

Now the Vointage brand is being wound down (although I am sure they still hope to sell it on to someone) Veelah are free to spread their wings in the UK!!! This is AMAZING news as I am now able to access their finest models which are CRAZY CRAZY value.

This V1 OM CE for example is using premium components from Fishman (electronics), Graph Tech (nuts and bridge pins), and Elixir nanoweb strings!

AND a gig bag??? All for £299 :)
