Description
Brand: Richmond Right-/ Left-Handed: Right-Handed
Body Type: Chambered Body Colour: Sunburst
Model: Dorchester String Configuration: 6 String


This stunning guitar was made in Canada by Godin. It combines elements from Rickenbacker and Mosrite to create a unique design. The body and headstock are finished in a very “Fireglo” gloss sunburst, the neck and fretboard are natural satin finish. It feels wonderful to play, the fretboard has smoothly rounded edges (“Ergocut”) and is a very comfortable C profile. There is very little fret wear. Pickups aren’t original, the bridge pickup is a Sky by Kent Armstrong humbucker-sized P90 and the neck is an alnico mini humbucker (sorry, I can’t remember the make). They sound great! According to the serial number, the guitar was made in 2008. It’s in great condition for its age. There is a tiny chip on the bottom edge (shown in photo 9). It has been touched up and is really only noticeable close up. Apart from this, there are some very minor playing/polishing marks, again only noticeable close up (and too small to show up in photos). Any strange white marks in the photos are reflections. The guitar comes with a Godin Gig bag.   FEATURES ·         Neck: Rock Maple ·         Fretboard: Ergocut maple ·         Radius: 12" ·         Nut Width: 1-11/16" ·         Scale length: 25-1/2" scale ·         Body: Chambered silver leaf maple body with poplar wings ·         Pickups: 1 Sky by Kent Armstrong humbucker-sized P90 (bridge),  1 alnico mini humbucker (neck) ·         Bridge: Chrome roller bridge with fixed tailpiece ·         Tuning machines: chrome Kluson vintage style ·         Controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone and 3-way switch      UK buyers only, please.      100% positive feedback - buy with confidence!Uk
