Our Richtercaster offers all the features of a classic Strat combined with the playing feel of a more modern, ergonomically and technically advanced guitar.
Thanks to the solid, high-quality materials of exclusively German origin and domestic woods, it rightly bears the designation “made in Germany”. Its versatility, together with the almost endless sustain, is its greatest strength.
The small inconspicuous mini-switch works wonders. When switched on, the first position of the 5-way switch allows the neck and bridge pickups to sound together. In position two, it even switches all three pickups together!
Depending on the pickup configuration it is:
- bluesy-warm, with bone-dry twang on the bass strings, punch in the middle and just the right amount of sharpness in the upper frequencies.
- like the perfect all-rounder and a homage to the sounds found in the famous 60s.
- biting, dirty and screaming loud in the distortion to crystal clear and open when played clean.
But always with strong assertiveness and a breathtaking carrying capacity
