Many thanks to everyone who attended the Northeast Guitar Expo. We had a great time meeting you, answering your questions, and hearing your playing of our products.

On Sunday, June 1, 2025, Richardson Guitars & Effects presented our flagship offerings, The Three and The Clean Machine at the Northeast Guitar Expo. As one of 40+ vendors, it was a great experience meeting hundreds of people who are passionate about the guitar.

The event ran from noon to 4pm at the Sheraton in Framingham, MA (in between Worcester and Boston). From start to finish, I was pleased to see people coming in and excited to see what was available. While there, we took some notes to highlight our experience.

• First, huge thanks to everyone who stopped by. Our products are for you, and I enjoyed meeting each of you and sharing with you what RG&E offers.

• My book, Learning to Speak Guitar, is still holding its popular status among builders and players alike. Thanks to those who bought a copy!

• I enjoyed seeing The Three in the hands of the players it was designed for. Being able to share our different trim packages with everyone was also great. We believe everyone deserves a great guitar; I believe we showed that to those who visited us.

• A lot of visitors commented on The Three's lightweight body, new body shape, and headstock design. Thank you all for the kind words.

• We also saw an appreciation for our electronics control (specifically the onboard Mini Clean Machine and the slider volume control).

• It was also great to hear that our modified neck taper didn't look apparently different, but simply felt great to play. 

• Overall, everyone who stopped by was impressed and wanted to know more. 

The whole expo was a new experience for our products. I'm happy that we were able to share them with you, answer your questions, and also support your musical pursuits.

Again, my sincerest thank you to everyone who said "Hi", asked a question, shared their thoughts, or even quietly took a business card on their way by our table. A special shoutout to Peter for organizing the event, and shoutouts to Jot, Ronnie, John, Greg, Patrick, and Scott. Thank you (and everyone who stopped by) for your enthusiasm and support.

Thanks again and take care,

Nathan
