All our guitars for sale are reconditioned and you have an assurance they will play beautifully. We would always make you aware of any apect of the guitar that does not live up to a new model specification. |
|  | Cort Acoustic Guitars The very latest electro static finishing techniques normally associated with guitar brands at twice the price is just ONE reason why you should put Cort at the top of your acoustic wishlist in 2009. From under £150 Cort produce utterly fantastic acoustics. Guitars of the moment include the Earth Grand (under £200!), Earth 100 DLX (Under £250) and the Earth 200 with solid top and back for under £300!
Beat the recession with cort quality AND value for money - an unbeatable combination. Remember - every instrument is hand finished pre delivery to ensure the instrument plays to its very best. |
|  | Cort Electro Acoustics The SFX series electros have been my long standing favourite for years and years. The "APX" beater (made by Yamaha). Performance electros don't get much better than this, starting from under £300. Whatever your electro needs, Cort has something wonderful to offer - largely because they own FISHMAN (World renowned electronics manufacturer) which are are supplied in all the Cort electro acoustics |
|  | Cort Bass Guitars In 14 years selling guitars I have never seen more bass for your pound than when produced by Cort - and I don't just mean when they have Cort on the Headstock! Check out the Ibanez Prestige SR series bass guitars and see if you find any similarities. Ibanez are highly regarded for their bass guitars - if only they actually MADE them! |
| _160w.jpg) | Cort Electric Guitars Where do I start in the Cort range? To be honest it is largely down to your own personal requirements but Cort excel in most of their guitar production making it hard to pin down specifics. Needless to say if you spend a few minutes browsing this section I will be amazed if you do not find something that will catch your eye that not only looks fantastic but is built to an impeccible standard - which is even more important of course!
All available to try in our showrooms at Richards Guitars |

Paying me a visit?
Always give me notice of your arrival if you want the very best shopping experience.
Not only can I prepare for your visit ensuring the right guitar(s) are available for you but I can also save the embarrasing situation of me not being available or busy with a shop full of customers. I work very flexible hours to suit my customers neeeds so you may find me in store on a Sunday or late night on a weekday! If however I have family commitments I may be working from home. I use a laptop which has all my website, diary notes etc. and my phone diverts to wherever I am - so I am always close at hand if you need me. If you give me a call we can make arrangements to allocate time which suits your working week.
Please do consider my showrooms as your personal space for the duration of your visit. My showrooms are available to anyone by request and whenever I am working in store (which is a lot of course but for warned is for armed!).
Saturdays
Whilst I try and keep as close to a 10am-6pm working week in store Monday to Friday, you can be assured that Saturdays are always "shop days". So if you don't fancy an appointment or want to remain a little more incognito then maybe Saturday would be your safest day to visit. However, PLEASE never feel afraid to call me and appointments DO NOT commit you to anything at all. I am as much into pressure sales as Gordon Brown is to slapstick humour! Honest! | Best Selling ItemsCort M 520 TAB £332.96 (Euros343.37) The M520 doesn't just represent awesome value for money and tonal diversity (Both humbuckers are coil tapped for expanded tonal options) but the guitar has a genuine vintage/classic vibe with flawless finishing.
The better news is that this is just one of a whole line up of superb fixed neck guitars which have a remotely PRS/Gibson twin cutaway feel about them.
The range starts from just under £200 online, alll the way up to the M900 with acoustic capabilities thanks to the Fishman Power Bridge!
I couldn't recommend this range highly enough for anyone wanting a classic rock/blues tone.
find out more | | Cort Z 42 WR £224.95 (Euros231.98) What can I say about the Z42 that hasn't already been summarised by Guitarist magazine when they gave this guitar a 5 star rave review. Now I am the first to criticise magazines for focusing reviews on their advertising partners but when someone like Cort gets a 5 star review you know the product must be EXCELLENT.
Weighing in at just a smidge over £200 online this is not just a starter guitar, its an instrument that will perform on stage without any problem at all. The Z42 is the opening guitar in a range of awesome Les Paul alternatives! The Z series provides a more modern twist with improved neck access, coil taps and some stunning finishes.
Seymour Duncan pickups are found on the models higher up in the range but check out the Z44 models too - they are incredible value at around the £350 mark.
All in all another awesome range which cannot fail to impress if you take them for a test drive at our showroom in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire
find out more | | Cort G 260 OPN £341.95 (Euros352.64) The G260 OPN is a mighty fine alternative to the stock Fender Standard Stratocaster that so many players opt for every day. Why would they do this when Cort provide a super strat design, coil tapped with an ash body in this awesome finish? The power of the F word is an amazing thing!
For those who want greater tonal options than a Fender Strat (or even the super strat which is not coil tapped) and want a better quality trem system with a tonaly superior tone wood, the G260 could be for you.
The G series starts from a mere £139 so ideal for the first time player.
Another model you shouldn't ignore if this is the kind of instrument you are looking for is the G280 again with ash body but now loaded with a set of Seymour Duncan Pickups. It is gorgeous! find out more | | Cort EARTH 200 3TS £305.96 (Euros315.52) A standard setter for over a decade! The Earth 200 is has a very special place in my heart as it was the acoustic guitar that put Tanglewood on the map when Cort made all the Tanglewood guitars. Cort continue to produce the Eath 200 under their own brand simply because it is one of the finest acoustic guitars I have ever seen at this price. Did I say one of? There is nothing that compares at the price.
find out more | | Cort GB 74 OPN £476.95 (Euros491.85) The GB 74 is a classic example of Cort production at its best. Cort have an incredibly strong reputation in bass production and are responsible for producing some of the highest range Ibanez basses such as the Prestige SR bass guitars.
The GB, Action. Curbow and Artisan series are all incredibly strong and you need to have a browse through them all to find a guitar that suits you. Click on the link below to get more information on this bass and to find other recommendations.
find out more | | Cort SFX 5 LVB £386.95 (Euros399.04) The SFX series are simply first class electros. I believe Cort own Fishman and therefore all Cort electros come equipped with the very latest Fishman electronics.
For years I have been describing these guitars as the "APX Beater". Many years ago the Yamaha APX became an industry standard electro acoustic but when The SFX came onto the scene maybe 6 or so years ago I never looked back - and nor did my customers. The strength in the SFX seems to be in its slightly arched back which helps improve the acoustic projection of this slimline performance electro.
Cort produced acoustics have always been my top recommendation - for 14 years in fact! The SFX is the most popular electro format due to its smaller, comfortable size, attractive design and impressive acoustic and electro tonality.
