"This guitar blows away the 3 vintage Weissenborns I played in Los Angeles. In looks, tone and sustain!"
-Steve W., California USA
"In my opinion, you have built one of the world’s great guitars...
Richard Wilson's 400th guitar
... Of course, it is amazing to look at, but the sound is the most incredible thing about it, balanced, sweet when you want it, powerful when that is what you want, responsive to touch, inspiring to play and to sing along beside.
Congratulations!! You are a true artist! Thank you for trusting me with it."
-Stephen Houpt, Dallas TX

Shipping & Support
I am extremely pleased with my guitar. An absolutely beautiful finish. Truly a one-of-a-kind guitar. There were some Covid shipping delays and Richard was on top of it helping make sure that I got my guitar. It’s good to get a guitar from a great luthier who is also a good person. Thank you Richard!
-Paul M., Ohio USA
Today the Weissenborn arrived in perfect condition. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the wood and the finish are just superb! I have to say, I was a bit nervous with shipping an expensive instrument half-way around the globe, but now I am incredibly happy that I made the decision to have a Weissenborn built by you. I am certain this guitar will stay with me my whole life.

I just wanted to say how truly happy I am with my style 1 African Mahogany Weissenborn. I wanted one for years and the one I ordered from Richard is a remarkable instrument. It's the real deal. it produces such a clear and warm tone. People always want to know more about it when they hear me play it. I would 100% recommend ordering a guitar through him.
