We are pleased to annouce the inclusion of Martin Guitars to our product offering.
We have been selling Taylor, R Taylor and USA Guild guitars as main high end acoustic guitar ranges, but are delighted to offer our customers even more choice with the recent stocking of Martin Acoustic Guitars.
We stock a good choice across the range from 1 series through to signature and the occasional custom shop guitar.
The range of Martin Guitars is available to buy online, or alternatively,
please give us a call to arrange a personal shopping appointment for Martin
Guitars in our Sheffield Store.
The 7th and 8th, and final, batches have arrived very close together indeed so there’s plenty to choose from…..however….
You may notice that the Charvel Web Site, and ourselves have mentioned “last batch” – that’s because Charvel are knocking the production guitars on the head. To be replaced with what? Only Charvel know – for now. We are hoping they continue in similar vein.
HOWEVER…and this the “kicker”….we have ONE guitar of each finish listed above, LITERALLY JUST ONE UNIT!!!. Once they are gone there are no more! From what Charvel / Fender have told us, the planets would have to all align for there to be ANY spare stock. So if you are hankering after one of the new Charvel Production Guitars – please get in touch or dive in through the web site as soon as you can as it could end up in a bit of a bun-fight!!

We are proud to announce the introduction of Orange Guitar and Bass amplifiers into our Sheffield Store. Availabile for purchase in store or via our web site, we have an excellent current and expanding range available to our customers.
Long the arguable masters of that “Warm British Tube Crunch” the Orange range of amplification is designed with retro looks but capable of a huge range of tones which work great for classic rock and current indie styles alike. We always try and carry the Tiny, Tiny Combo and Dual Terror amplifiers in stock, along with the mainstay AD Tube Series amplifiers. The Orange Crush amplifiers are always in stock across a range of models, and the new and updated Rockerverb and Thunder amplifiers will be stocked as soon as they become available.
Orange amplifiers have been a favourite of mine for some time, having played an AD30HTC in a shop years ago – nothing has quite ”done it” for me since. The Orange 30 Watt Head through their matching 4 x 12 cabinet along with a Tokai Japan Les Paul really is something to behold!!!
If you want to check out the Orange amplifiers and maybe compare and contrast to some of our other amplifier brands to see which tones/amps/models work best for you – then just give us a call on 0114 283 99 38 for a personal shopping appointment in our Sheffield Store. Alternatively, if you are a mail order customer, then check out our range of Orange Amplifiers on our web site here: Rich Tone Music – Orange Amplifiers.
The latest range of amplifiers are starting to ship from Blackstar and we are pleased to announce that the Blackstar HT Club 40 and the Blackstar HT Studio 20 Head have just arrived in to stock and ready to ship to our customers. We have very limited availability of the new HT range, and it appears that Blackstar are short shipping on orders in order to spread the stock around as much as possible.
So if you are after the latest Blackstar amplifier and based in or around the Sheffied area – feel free to give us a call to arrange a good time to come and grab one while it’s here (the stock availability tends to be a bit hit and miss for the first month or two until it settles down). The remaining Blackstar range has an ETA of later this month and into the start of month – keep your eyes peeled on our blog and web site. As soon as the new Blackstar amplifiers land in store – we’ll blog so you get the info first!
If you haven’t done so already – make sure you check out the Blackstar Youtube channel as they are releasing video demos of the new amplifiers. WICKED!
The long awaited and hard to get hold of Tokai LS150 guitars have just arrived in store at Rich Tone Music!
You can view all the latest LS150 guitars in our store [HERE].
Featuring excellent build quality, fantastic specifications and gorgeous flame tops, the LS150 is revered as being one of the best value for money Les Paul style guitars your money can buy.
We have bought as many LS150 as we physically can, they always sell out fast, and with a waiting time of over 2 years for these guitars, the LS150 also holds the title of being one of the hardest current production guitars to get hold of in the UK!
The Tokai LS150 Electric Guitar, made in Japan to very high standards is perhaps one of the most highly sought after guitars in the current Tokai catalogue.
This particular model encompasses everything one would expect from the Tokai LS150 – outstanding looks, quality fit and finish and tone to die for. The guitar features a gorgeous flamed maple cap on top of a one piece Mahogany back providing classic Les Paul resonance and tone which we all know and love. The Gotoh pick ups provide a nice range of tones with thick creamy tones found in the neck position and plenty of bite in the bridge position.
Outstanding for all kinds of rock and blues music, if you Love Rock, you’ll love this!

NEW BLACKSTAR VIDEO’S RELEASED!!!!
Here’s more from the new Blackstar HT Venue Range…..
The new Fender American Special Telecaster in Olympic White has just arrived in our store!
Featuring a slightly stripped down appearance than the American Standard, but with all the cool features you’d require from an American performance guitar such as, 9.5 Inch Radius Neck with Jumbo frets for a more modern feel compared to the medium jumbos on the Standards. Jumbo frets is an option often requested on custom shop models, so it’s nice to see this included as standard on the American Specials. Pick ups are excellent Texas Special Telecaster units which have more output and bite than that included with the older American Standard Telecaster.
Here’s the specs for the guitar along with some photos of the American Telecaster Special in Olympic White.
