Furch Changed Everything...
I introduced Furch to to the UK over 20 years ago - with my good friend Keith Twine who has since retired.
At the time I was a leading supplier of brands such as Gibson, Martin & Taylor. Experiencing Furch guitars made me realize there is what you "know" and what you "should know". Just because you DON'T - doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
What does all this mean? Forget what you think you know and open your mind to the possibility that you can find better - and we will guarantee you an experience you will never forget - with help from Furch and my other personal finds from over the decades.

This is my first Furch guitar and I’m delighted with my purchase. This is one in their low/mid price range but sounds as good (or better) than my Taylor 614ce and quite definitely plays better straight out of the box. In the past few years having also purchased Eastman instruments I have come to the conclusion that US manufacturers just don’t offer anything to justify their pricing.
An excellent guitar, plays beautifully, feels great in your arms, for this being a middle range in Furch guitars, I’m really pleased with the quality of this guitar, and of course Richard’s Guitars were fantastic in looking after me in the purchase. I definitely would buy from them in the future.
This guitar is absolutely sublime. I have had some less than average experience of nylon stringed guitars in the past but I do love their sound and tone.
I sought advice from Jake who had all the time in the world to address my concerns and hesitations.
Having played this guitar I can state, without reservation, that his counsel was absolutely spot on.
The walnut / cedar combination provides a far better tone that I could have hoped for, the articulation is amazing and the guitar is beautiful in every way.
The set up is perfect, when it arrived the outside temperature was just about freezing but after tuning up once the guitar stayed in tune! This is remarkable with brand new nylon strings (which can act like elastic bands).
First class instrument from a team that provide works class service.
Now I need to go and search for a tab for Stanley Myers’s Cavatina!
Came really well packed and played like butter straight put of the box.
This is my second Dowina and I didn't think I could love it any more than my first. But I do. It is a beautiful guitar in every way - lovely wood, beautifully made, little details, really comfortable to play. And the sound is quite special. I'm not a brilliant guitarist but it is such a pleasure to play, and makes me sound way better than I am. The customer service from Richards Guitars was outstanding. From the first question, to sorting out a complex shipping, both Jake and Jon were helpful, friendly and speedy in responding and in making the whole thing a pleasure.
This is a great and unique guitar. I love the neck and the general playability, the pickups and the variator switch; providing lots of tone options. The tremolo works very smoothly and stays in tune well, and last, but not least: the guitar looks great, with the greenburst finish, the binding and the fretboard inlays. And it's fairly inexpensive too 😊
Great sounding guitar, finish is perfect and extremely high quality. Love the 45mm nut and body size.
Only negative thing is the setup was not good, high action, too much neck relief and scratchy frets.. glad I didn’t pay £90 for the service!
When purchasing a guitar in store, you generally have a coupon for a setup at a local luthier/tech shop. When purchasing online, we're usually lacking that option... Well thanks Richard's Guitars, having the option makes all the difference. The setup was on-point, the guitar plays nice!
Amazing customer service, quick delivery after order. Set up perfectly. Amazing sounding guitar. 1st class seller
