Dates of manufacture:
The Richmond Belmont was introduced in 2008 and made until 2013. The Belmont packed a full gamut of classic rock muscle into its vaguely SG styled solid mahogany body. This 24 ¾” scale axe is powered by two single coil Lipstick pickups by Seymour Duncan, along with a Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker in the bridge. All of which is controlled by a 5-way selector switch and separate volume and tone knobs. The Belmont’s bolt-on mahogany neck features the worn in feel of an Ergocut rosewood fingerboard for a comfortable playing experience. The Belmont is finished off with high-ratio tuning machines, a chrome roller bridge with fixed tailpiece, a Nordic white pickguard and truss rod cover. Available high gloss finishes: Black Wash or Burgundy, supplied with a Deluxe Gig Bag. The Richmond Belmont was also available with a Bigsby® tremolo, a black pickguard and white truss rod cover. The Bigsby equipped models were all finished in Laurentian White.
