Seafoam Green Richiecaster

Here at Vintage Replica Guitars we create the finest ‘S’ and ‘T’ type guitars using the best materials and hardware available to accurately recreate that vintage sound and feel.

Vintage guitars are now so expensive that they are beyond the means of most players so we strive to create an affordable alternative to players who wish to experience the sound, feel and look of a 50’s or early 60’s ‘S’ or ‘T’ type guitar made to the highest standards.

Testimonial

Steve plays a '56 Richecaster

"As far as I’m concerned it’s a great joy to have Richie ‘teching’ for me whilst I’m on tour in Europe. The guitars are always beautifully set up, and play like a dream. There’s very little Richie doesn’t know about guitars and guitar maintenance, and that kind of expertise is invaluable.

Whether you want a simple set-up, or some major surgery to your instrument, I can’t recommend anyone I would trust more than Richie, and as for his own instruments,
I enjoyed the Richiecasters very much.

The ‘Tele’ was lightweight, and handled very well with a crisp top end that cuts through in exactly the right way, and the ‘Strat’ sang out every night I played it."
