Richard James

The Bald Shredder

While most people know him as The Bald Shredder from YouTube, Richard James has been playing guitar since 1983. Richard showcases his own brand of 80s inspired shred on his five solo albums (with more to come). In 2020, after winning the Guitar MAX shred solo contest, Richard decided to put his efforts into building his YouTube channel. Through this platform, Richard has reached enthusiastic viewers from around the world who are eager to see the latest affordable guitars. In addition, Richard has worked with several guitar manufacturers to make high quality yet affordable instruments available for everyone. And as always, he will continue to shred those guitars on YouTube as The Bald Shredder. 

Why S.i.T.?

“After years of using another brand, I decided to try S.I.T. Strings. I tried the Power Wound strings and immediately noticed the bright, crisp sound which is exactly what I need for my shred metal tone. Also, I am very impressed by the willingness of S.I.T. to take the time to talk and give excellent customer service to anyone and everyone. They are eager to spread the word about their excellent quality strings and I am happy to help.”
