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.
Received my new kremona m15-m this morning, and what can I say bt wow,sounds amazing and the fit and finish is flawless, I was a little nervous buying a brand I had never heard of blind but I needn't have been, its a fantastic guitar and kremona are firmly on my radar now, this is now my 9th guitar in 7 years I have purchased from Richard and there is a reason I will always go back!
I purchased a Dowina Cedar /walnut OMG! I really love the cedar warmth and sweetness together with the super articulate and fundamental sound of the cedar and walnut combination!
Richard and his staff were great to work with…especially Jon! Great follow up and communication!
I would definitely recommend Richard and his staff and especially the Dowina guitars! Great guitars and amazing value!
Brilliant , excellent value for money , I am chuffed , my wife bought this for my birthday . I have tinkered (I am not that good ) with bass for 45 years . Never had an acoustic , wanted something different and boy this delivered .I could not be more pleased ,beautifully set up , looks so much better than the pictures that cannot show its true beauty .Very powerful both unplugged and amplified If you are looking , go on you wont be disappointed. I am going to buy the six string guitar for my wife and son to share and I might just have a go myself . Thanks to all at Richards Guitars
Guitar arrived safely today and it was in tune! What a thing of beauty it is. Action, sound, build and overall playing experience are all beautiful. So much guitar for such an affordable price. Jon, Richard, Chris and the team were amazing and so helpful, and kept me updated throughout the search and sale; expert advice and personal service that was second to none. They also fulfilled my request to deliver early as the guitar is a present for my daughter. Thank you very much and I'll definitely be back for more! I can't recommend this wonderful shop highly enough.
