Anyone heard of Righteous Guitars?

What's Hot
FranboFranbo Frets: 1
I've been looking for a new axe and have found an outfit called "Righteous Guitars"

They seem to operate at least a couple of shopify sites under different names; Sapphire Grove and Crescendo Guitars 
Both have the same address in Edinburgh and I wondered if anyone has bought anything from them before?

    Well a quick look at those linked sites screams "run away as fast as you can".

    High end guitars like Banker and Gibson CS for 20% of what they should be using stolen photos?
    Address is a residential address that you can see on streetview is just a house?
    Prices not only very low, but weird numbers - not how you'd price something in £ unless you're converting from another currency.

    Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

    In fact, I wonder if the people at those residential addresses even know that they're down as the contact address for scammy web shops.

    Righteous are a legit dealer in the US and have a large store in Georgia. They're not setting up shopify accounts to sell B-Stock out of a semi in Edinburgh at 75% off list, but somebody is certainly using their photos.

    The US outfit appears in a lot of Rhett Schull YouTube videos. I'd avoid this one like the plague.

    Digression but I once bought a guitar off a Jehovah's Witness who played in a duo called The Almost Righteous Brothers, which I thought was quite a good gag considering. The guitar case came with some free bedtime reading hidden in the compartment.

    Was it more of a 'looking at the pictures' kind of publication?

    Someone should report this to Edinburgh trading standards.

    Under ‘Terms of Service’ on Sapphire point 9 says governing law of England and Wales, which is suspicious for a company addressed in Scotland.  :o
