Possibly the best active Piezo pickup without a microphone
I have the LR Baggs Element VTC on several of my guitars, which in my opinion is probably the best of its type currently on the market. The inbuilt compression sets it apart from others I've tried, and it does produce a fairly accurate tone of your instrument. It's certainly very lively and the only pedals I use with thus are the LR Baggs Session DI and their Align reverb unit, which kill off piezo 'quack' and add warmth.
Chris does a wonderful (and very speedy) job of installing this pickup, and I'd strongly recommend that you use his services rather than try a DIY job at home...drilling that big hole in the lower bout is no joke 🫣
The service from Richard’s Guitars was excellent. There was a long wait from order to delivery but I was kept informed throughout. The Octave Mandolin arrived and was ready to play. very pleased with my purchase.
Brilliant from start to finish. All three guys were involved at some point, and I can't fault how attentive you have all been - and so caring - Jake I really appreciate you promising to bar me from the store for the sake of my bank balance if I mention buying any more guitars for a while!!
Top, top service, with a smile - and a belly laugh or two along the way.
I love you guys! Be proud, Richard - Jon, Jake and Chris are the best 'behind the scenes' advert for Richards Guitars that you could possibly hope for.

Unbelievably beautiful baritone
I ordered my Furch Blue BARc SW back in January; Furch's quoted build time was accurate, and I collected the beast on 11th April. I left it until now to write a review as I wanted to test it both at home, and a a live gig, which is why I bought it.
It does exactly what I wanted it to do, delivering playability and lush tone, without any of the 'slack string intonation' issues that one can find when dropping a full step down on a guitar that's not designed for that.
What is especially pleasing though is the sheer beauty of this instrument; the Walnut back and sides are highly figured and very dark, and it's as good to look at as it is to play. Anyone wondering if they might be better served, aesthetically speaking, by ordering a Yellow BARc should give pause for thought - this Walnut is a joy to behold.
As always, my sincere thanks to Jon, Jake and Chris for their unending support and good humour; it's always a pleasure to be in your company, and thank you again for this amazing guitar.
