The clicking noise is the sound of the string pinging into position. If the nut is cut too tight on the strings then they pinch (that clicky sound when you tune or detune). I want the guitar to play like your guitar.Ī bold claim? Not really! We pay close attention to the nut of the guitar by default when setting up our guitars. Of course, if you have a preference then the guitar will be setup to play just how you like it. No matter what you pay whether it be £119 or £1119 every instrument new or used leaves our workshop fit to be played by beginner or professional. It is rare that there isn't a marked improvement on the playability of a guitar once it has been through our workshop. From a sharp, scratchy feel when moving your hand up and down the fretboard to a guitar that feels like it has been played in for years. By spending time 'softening' these edges it makes a massive difference to the feel of the guitar. Mass produced guitars always suffer to a varying degree from sharp burs on the edges of the frets where they have been cut off in production. A poorly cut nut will sap tone and can cause various rattles and buzzes. The break angle of string over saddle will also effect the volume, tone and energy that remains in the string. The height of the strings on an acoustic will effect the overal tone and volume. Pickups need to be balanced and adjusted accordingly for the optimum output. I can demonstrate that a guitar purchased from Richards Guitars will.

Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of 'players benefits' which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary.
