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.
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
Nice addition to the collection- plays very easily with a good feel to it
I've waited a while to write this review. It's too easy after a new guitar purchase to get over excited and try to justify spending a sizeable chunk of money on an acoustic that doesn't have Taylor or Martin on the headstock.
My advice to those that have a sizeable chunk of money to spend - don't buy a guitar with Taylor or Martin on the headstock. Buy a Dowina. Full disclosure - I own a Taylor.
The build quality at this price point is what you should expect. No excess glue permeating the bracing etc, neck smooth as butter, first class tone woods and absolutely on point when it comes to the detail.
Dowina has this in spades and then some. Blows the water out of Martin and Taylor at this price point, it's no contest. This guitar is so responsive, you can make it whisper, you can make it shout out loud - in every scenario it is perfectly voiced. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be....
Incredible.
As an aside to the guitar review, let's talk about Richard's Guitars and the buying experience.
These guys are special. In the current climate of buy fast and buy cheap they are beacons of what customer service and quality products should be. They are wonderful individuals, the absolute best. I can't find enough superlatives to describe these folks, but what I will tell you is that they know their guitars, they recognise quality, understand how personal a guitar choice is and will always do what is best for you not them.
