On May 26th, Richard Fortus joined us at Art of Guitar, Dubai, just before his stunning performance in Abu Dhabi!

Richard had a delightful Meet & Greet session with a select audience, and we had the pleasure of chatting with him alongside Rick Vlemmiks, CEO of the prestigious Art of Guitar boutique. Richard shared insights about his recent live performances and spoke about the instruments he plays. Among them are three special Paoletti guitars — his signature models, which have accompanied him on his musical journey for several years. These guitars were specifically designed in collaboration with Richard and finely tuned according to his preferences to best suit his playing style and unique sonic qualities.
