Dowina Walnut (Sol) GAC I' wasn't expecting that! I'm completely blown away. A truly amazing guitar. Beautiful and beautifully made. A real pleasure to play. I used to play sporadically, I now play every day, I cannot put it down and my playing has improved tenfold. Thank you Dowina and thank you Richard.
This is an unbelievable Guitar for the price point. Highly recommended even for experienced players.
Outstanding service from Richards Guitars. Seamless from payment to delivery .
I have had my eye on Sauvage Brankowood series since they were introduced. They are not available in N.Z.
The team at Richards Guitars meticulously setup the guitar, they were almost ready to send it when they discovered a slight flaw so they rejected the original instrument and started again with a new one. It arrived on my doorstep in pristine condition. The cardboard box took a bit of a hit somewhere on route, however the super high-quality Lag gig bag protected it from any damage.
It looks even better than in the photographs. The textured sides and back give it a very pleasing and tactile appearance. It visually stands out from the crowd. It has a beautiful warm tone and if you need to create some noise it can crank out the volume, no problem. It's smaller size make it easier take places.
I am really enjoying playing it. I've been sitting outside in the warm summer evenings, playing it on the balcony, doesn't get much better.
It will be an heirloom to pass on to the grandchildren.
So thanks to Richard & Jon and the team. Really appreciate your passion and dedication.
After spending a good 3 hours playing various Furch Eastman and Dowina guitars available in the shop I kept returning to two. A lovely Dowina (Moon spruce/ Paduak) and what I eventually bought, the Furch Blue Oc cm.
Now I’d given myself a budget of up to £2000 which meant there were good choices open to me, the aforementioned Dowina unfortunately was a little over that.
But, what if had in mind before I’d even arrived at the shop was to looking to buy a Furch with the new CNR ACTIVE system in place and find out how Furch guitars sounded and played with my own ears, and fingers.
So here is my opinion on the Furch Blue Om c/m.
This is NO entry level guitar, this guitar is built to such a high standard, even without any glitzy bits, this has a beauty all its own, and sounds and plays so beautifully…. Any professional/studio musician would be happy to be playing with this fantastic tone instrument.
Also the absolute friendliness and professionalism I received as a customer at Richard’s Guitars was a delight, and special shout out to Jake who with only the information of me wanting an Om size guitar Pulled the guitar I ended up buying out of the fresh deliveries and set it up ready for my arrival with another 4 or 5 similar ones.
What can I say other than it will be a cherished memory that I hope to repeat in the near future.

The guitar is great, and the shipping and availability of the staff was very nice! Thanks team!
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.
As a newbie whos first 12 months have been spent playing a poor quality and badly setup acoustic I am blown away by my first electric guitar from Richards. My v20 arrived in perfect condition, feels a big step up in quality and is a pleasure to use. No sharp fret end, no action you could drive a bus under and no pinging from the nut on tuning. Everything Richard promises on purchase of a guitar was delivered which is insane for a £149 guitar. They have won a customer for life.
The sheer depth of tone from this smaller bodied guitar is staggering. I admire the precision with which it has been made, and the attention to detail, but the tone is to die for. Lush, warm, yet with a clarity that transcends this wood combination (Cedar/Rosewood).
A huge shout to Jake, whose customer engagement was brilliant; quick to respond, attentive, and with the lively sense humour I've conducted to expect from the Richards family
I’m so pleased with the guitar and so pleased with the decision to buy from Richard’s. Beautiful and unique nylon string which has a nice hybrid setup without being too slim-necked or electric feeling. Plays wonderfully and sounds great. Arrived yesterday and I’ve already gigged with it and was really impressed with the sound quality from the pickup and mic blender. The technician at Richard’s has done a great job setting it up and provided exactly what I asked for. And the communication throughout the process from my initial enquiry
asking for advice, through ordering and along the shipping process has been brilliant. As a teenager from Manchester I used to drive past Richard’s when visiting my grandma in Stratford and I always wanted to stop in because it looked amazing. I’m delighted to have bought from them all these years later. I will definitely be back! Thank you folks
Beautiful guitar with a lovely tone
