Overview

With vintage good looks, cool retro styling, and modern electronics.

The Richmond Dorchester is an electric guitar that will definitely turn heads. But the best part”The Dorchester guitar sounds even better than it looks! This tone giant features a 25-1/2" scale, 2 classic sounding Lace Alumitone humbucker pickups, housed in a double-cutaway chambered body with a silver leaf maple center and poplar wings. The Dorchester guitar's pickups are controlled by separate volume and tone knobs, along with a 4-way switch to select between various tantalizing sounds. The first position puts the neck and bridge pickups in series, giving you fatter tone and more output.

The Dorchester guitar's bolt-on rock maple neck has the worn-in feel of an Ergocut rosewood or maple fingerboard for an incredibly comfortable playing experience. This Richmond beauty is finished off with high-ratio chrome tuning machines, a chrome roller bridge with fixed tailpiece, a Nordic white extended pickguard and truss rod cover with matching binding on the back. Richmond includes a gig bag with the Dorchester Electric Guitar.

Richmond Guitars received 'Best In Show' honors at Summer NAMM 2008!
