So I've waited nearly a whole year before writing a review because I wanted to wait until the honeymoon phase was over...but it still isn't. I initially was going to get a spruce top blue series but I had a larger budget to play with just incase I fell in love with something else and a short version of the story is, I really fell in love with the Gc-CR.

The buying experiance was amazing, Beyond outstanding, No pressure sales tactics or any of that b/s just good advice and understanding of what I was looking for, In a lovely showroom full of luthier art & it was well worth the couple of hours drive!

I spent a few hours trying out different guitars, shapes, brands and giving feedback to Jake so he could understand what I was really looking for and the moment he placed that Yellow on the stand it was love at first note. I kept playing a few other guitars around the same budget but that Yellow Cedar top just spoke to me, It's so warm and beauitiful!! Even to this very day everytime I get it out of its case I just have a smile on my face from ear to ear, It has really inspired me to play alot more and just love it even more & In 30 years time I will look at that guitar and say "That was the best 2k I've ever spent".

Again a massive thank you to the whole team at Richards Guitars. Richard for all his hard work over the years and getting this brand known to people because I nearly bought a bloody Taylor before finding Richard on youtube but especially Jake who was looking after me that day and I had a wonderful time.

Dopo aver trascorso ben 3 ore a suonare varie chitarre Furch Eastman e Dowina disponibili in negozio, ho continuato a tornare su due. Una bella Dowina (abete Moon/paduak) e quella che alla fine ho comprato, la Furch Blue Oc cm.
Mi ero dato un budget massimo di 2.000 sterline, il che significava che c'erano buone possibilità di scelta, ma la già citata Dowina purtroppo era un po' più alta.
Ma quello che avevo in mente prima ancora di arrivare al negozio era di acquistare una Furch con il nuovo sistema CNR ACTIVE e scoprire come suonavano le chitarre Furch con le mie orecchie e le mie dita.
Ecco quindi la mia opinione sulla Furch Blue Om c/m.
Non si tratta di una chitarra entry level, ma di una chitarra costruita con uno standard così elevato, anche senza alcuno sfarzo, che ha una bellezza tutta sua, e suona e suona in modo così bello.... Qualsiasi musicista professionista/studio sarebbe felice di suonare con questo strumento dal tono fantastico.
Inoltre, l'assoluta cordialità e professionalità che ho ricevuto come cliente da Richard's Guitars è stata una delizia, e un'esortazione speciale a Jake che, con la sola informazione che volevo una chitarra Om, ha tirato fuori la chitarra che ho finito per comprare dalle consegne fresche e l'ha preparata per il mio arrivo con altre 4 o 5 simili.
Cosa posso dire se non che sarà un ricordo caro che spero di ripetere nel prossimo futuro.

Questa è la mia prima chitarra Furch e sono molto soddisfatto del mio acquisto. È una delle loro chitarre di fascia di prezzo medio-bassa, ma suona altrettanto bene (o meglio) della mia Taylor 614ce e sicuramente suona meglio appena tolta dalla scatola. Negli ultimi anni, avendo acquistato anche strumenti Eastman, sono giunto alla conclusione che i produttori statunitensi non offrono nulla che giustifichi i loro prezzi.

The guitar is exactly what my husband needed. The fret board is just the right width and depth. Older fingers don't stretch quite the way they did. He has been a professional guitar player since the age of 16, all over the world and is now 82 - music never leaves you. Thank you so much for your help.

Purchased a Furch electro acoustic, very nicely set up and plays very well. My 2nd purchase from Richard, very happy again

I recently bought a Furch LJ 11-SR from Richard Guitars, and both the instrument and the experience exceeded my expectations. The guitar itself is stunning—beautiful craftsmanship, incredibly resonant for its size, and plays effortlessly. It’s everything I was hoping for in a high-quality travel-sized acoustic.

After some mixed experiences with larger retailers like Andertons, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Richard and his team. Communication with Richard and Tom was excellent—they answered all my questions with care and clarity. When I visited the store to collect the guitar, Jake gave me a warm welcome and encouraged me to spend time trying several Furch models, which made the visit feel unrushed and genuinely enjoyable.

It’s clear this is a business that values its customers and its mission. I couldn’t be happier with the guitar or the service. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top-notch instrument and a personal, supportive buying experience.

I was looking for an alternative to paying for a 'brand' to get a luxurious 12 string. Having already discovered a couple of alternatives previously, I searched for 'alternatives to Taylor' and Furch popped up, as recommended by Richards Guitars. So I went for it. Built to order and an amazin instrument. The staff at Richard's were great communicators and wow, what a guitar. Snapped a string this morning tuning though, but have barely put it down. Highly recommended.

As always the service and customer care from the team is exceptional. The product is exactly what I was looking for and sounds amazing. Thanks Richard and the team

I recently bought a Furch violet series from these guys and it was my first time buying a reasonably expensive acoustic guitar. I was too far away to visit and they helped me pick out the perfect guitar to suit my needs and performance requirements. The guitar is perfect and I will be shopping here in the future for sure. Highly recommended!

Hi there Richards Guitars. The Furch Blue G SW tone is fabulous - rich and clear trebles and lovely strong bass tones. It is also a beautiful guitar to look at and v comfortable to hold and play. I love the Walnut grain on the back and sides and can only imagine how well the Spruce top will age over time. Basically its proving to be the perfect guitar for my finger picking choices and needs. The only other guitar I played years ago that came anywhere near close to it in tone terms was a 1960s Levin Goliath, but this Furch surpasses that in every respect.

Thank you Richards Guitars for also doing such a fabulous set up job and I have to say the service and support you have provided during the purchase has been impeccable. In this regard I would like to say many thanks to Jake and your support team as all their support, comment and inputs were invaluable.

If I could persuade my wife to let me come back for more I certainly would make you my first choice and port of call.
