| What
We Do: Fine Guitar
Consultants (FGC) recommends guitars that best match your individual needs as a guitar player--at no extra charge to you. We'll take all the time you need. We'll discuss the styles of guitar music you play, your preferences, and your specific body& hand dimensions. If you are an established guitar player/collector or beginning your
musical adventure with guitar, you will benefit from Richard's 39 years of experience.
And, you will soon learn why Richard is known across the USA and around the world as "The Matchmaker." |
|
| Why Come to Us? Because
we give you a level of personal attention that most music stores can't. Richard does his
guitar matchmaking by asking key questions and listening carefully. Working together, we'll help
you find your dream guitars. Click the guitar lists above (and
the "New Items" button), and you'll discover hard-to-find guitars and bass guitars that music stores don't carry. Each of these guitars and basses are hand-picked to be mechanically perfect in terms of set-up and adjustability. Every guitar has that "in-the-pocket feel"
that guitar players seek. Tone is a matter of personal choice;
we help guide you to your best options. You make the final choices, with a 48-hour
satisfaction guarantee--even on custom guitars. Every day, clients and makers alike experience the benefits of having Fine Guitar Consultants on the player's side. |
|
| Direct Contact with the
Luthier (guitar maker) At Fine Guitar Consultants, we speak the language of both guitar maker and guitar player. We understand that direct contact with the maker is important. After as many free consultations as needed, and when you're comfortable, we'll arrange a 3-way conference call if you like. Meeting the maker as we finalize your order together, will give you peace of mind. Together, we'll call during
the building process, as necessary. Guitar makers pay us a fee to bring them clients so they have more time at the bench to make guitars. The price is the same from
us as directly from the guitar maker. Our involvement results in you having appropriate choices for your music and an expert consultant on your side to guide the guitar making process. |
