Furch GN4CR Nylon String Hybrid Cutaway Classic (2026 CNR Active Upgrade Model)

Absolutely stunning ! Adjusted the action perfectly and effortlessly . So good I’m thinking of buying a second Furch guitar !

I bought this to replace a Furch Blue guitar which had developed a buzz caused by a loose brace. Richard and Jake were really helpful and repsonsive in dealing with this and after another fantastic day trying out guitars I decided to upgrade with a fair trade-in to the new Furch Green 2026 model with a torrified Spruce top. I think Furch are onto a winner with this model. Sitting below the Yellow series guitars in price, in my opinion it offers similar, albeit slightly different, quality in sound and playability compared to its more pricey sister range.

Well set up instrument, excellent packaging and really quick delivery. I had one question and got a reply within 10min everything perfect. Customer service perfect. I will certainly recommend.

Such a wonderful guitar - beautifully made and set up to perfection by the team at Richards Guitars. It feels so comfortable to hold and play; its one of those you find hard to put down! Thank you.

Fantastic guitar that is all I hoped for and more. Immaculately made and a joy to play. It was set-up perfectly to meet my specific needs - a free service! The advice and help I received from Jon was superb and made the whole process one of the best customer experiences I have had. I could not recommend Furch and Richard’s Guitars more highly.

Amazing guitar. Sound and tone is beautiful and neck perfect for my hands and style of playing. Great string separation so you can hear each string playing without any blurr.
In honesty you can get better looking guitars for the money but the sound was what was important to me and I don’t think I could have got any better than this guitar without spending another thousand pounds.

Id read mixed reviews but I like to make my own mind up. Richard was initially a bit prickly and defensive on the chat line, but I believe he has had a lot of **** over the years, so I let that go . I'm glad I did, the guys in the shop were helpful , sent the guitar exactly when they said they would , set up and ready to play . Excellent service , recommended !

Very pleased and impressed with the Blue Performance. Although I was unable to play before purchasing, a phone call to Richards answered all my questions and confirmed my thinking.
It plays superbly, with a lovely even tone - bright but not brassy, with a deep bass end, something I think is enhanced by the sound ports. The bevels make for comfortable playing, and it looks gorgeous. A real winner.

Hi , fabulous guitar , perhaps not quite as loud acoustically as I was expecting , but a beautiful tone and very responsive to touch . The amplified sound is stunning . Much easier to play than my concert guitar which is a traditional build , of exceptional high spec . My only minor criticism is of the battery holder , which came un stuck . Managed to re attach it with new Velcro , but am a little concerned at how awkward it will be to change the battery when needed .Looking forward to using the Furch in a new Latin project in the new year . Will send a video of a solo piece in a week or two . Cheers , Malcolm

I had a great experience when I visited the showroom in Stratford. Jon and the team were super helpful and allowed me plenty of time to choose my next guitar. So pleased with the Furch Blue Performance Gc-EMa EAS-VTC. It sounds brilliant and just encourages me to play - and practice - more. Thank you everyone for a superb experience and your expert care and attention.

Just bought a Furch Blue Deluxe guitar and decided to treat myself to the case designed to go with it. When they both arrived I spent at least 15 minutes drooling over the case, it’s quality, the padding, the pockets - so many pockets - the feel of the lining even the quality of the zip! I was so delighted with the case I forgot to look at the guitar!

Stunning guitar ordered and set up by Richards Guitars. Great service thank you. Specifying and ordering a guitar is a nervous business, where you cross fingers that you will receive as good a guitar as advertised. E.g. I specified a slightly wider nut. Richards were prompt and clear in their communication instilling confidence and Furch exceeded my expectation. Well done.

The guitar plays beautifully. The service I received from Jon was amazing - he found the perfect guitar for me. The set up is an amazing service. As Arnie once said "I'll be back!"

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.

This guitar is absolutely sublime. I have had some less than average experience of nylon stringed guitars in the past but I do love their sound and tone.
I sought advice from Jake who had all the time in the world to address my concerns and hesitations.
Having played this guitar I can state, without reservation, that his counsel was absolutely spot on.
The walnut / cedar combination provides a far better tone that I could have hoped for, the articulation is amazing and the guitar is beautiful in every way.
The set up is perfect, when it arrived the outside temperature was just about freezing but after tuning up once the guitar stayed in tune! This is remarkable with brand new nylon strings (which can act like elastic bands).
First class instrument from a team that provide works class service.
Now I need to go and search for a tab for Stanley Myers’s Cavatina!

This guitar looks beautiful, feels beautiful and sounds beautiful what more do you need.

Service and experience was impeccable and seamless from start to finish. Jon and Jake kept me informed throughout and it was definitely worth the wait. The guitar is a dream purchase and worth every penny. This is the place to do business with and thank you.

I cannot fault the service I received from Richards Guitars; Jake and Jon made themselves available at all times for any queries. These guys Love Guitars as much as their customers and that shows in their attention to detail and the expertise they were keen to share in order to ensure I got the guitar I wanted and needed. Also they are only too aware that the guitar being purchased may well be that "Once In A Lifetime Purchase" and so treat every customer & purchase as "Priority'. Just to add; the premises is Guitar Heaven from the Aroma of the Acoustic Guitars to the incredible variety and choice of what is available to "Try out", I could have stayed there All day!. I cannot recommend Richards Guitars Enough.

The GN4CR is a stunning addition to my little collection of guitars, and is my second Furch from Richards Guitars, who provided great service yet again. The GN4CR sounds gorgeous, and has added a completely different (and authentic?) sound to my handful of classical pieces that I was previously playing on a Furch Red Master's Choice.

My guitar tutor is SO jealous!

Great guitar and great service from Richard and his team

As ever Ricahrds guitars come up trumps. I needed an easier to play nylon strin guitar as the typical classical profile is too large for small (and old!) hands.
The guys made suggestions sorted out two to try and the final result was a purchase of a a Furch.
The guitar is great but the service from Richards guitars even better.
Thanks guys.

Bought this blind and so glad I did. Hands down the best nylon I have heard played for a very long time. Great detail from the team and service - what a pleasure all round

Excellent service and outstanding product. I've been looking for a high quality nylon strung guitar with a 1 3/4 inch neck for years and this fits the bill.

Having bought several guitars online from various sellers this has to be one of the easiest and most pleasant transactions I've had .

I’m very happy with my new Furch nylon string guitar purchased from Richard’s Guitars. He and his team were good to work with in communication and customer service. I’ve never purchased a guitar from outside the US but felt confident after watching some of Richard’s videos. I wasn’t disappointed and you won’t be either.
Thanks Richard and team!!

I took a chance having never played a nylon guitar and didn't want a wide neck. Well what wonder instrument, so versatile and easy to play. Sounds excellent with plectrum or fingers. My second Furch purchase beautifully made and finished.

Richard Guitars were easy to deal with and I'm super happy with the Furch. It's a beautiful instrument and I'm so pleased I decided to go for a hybrid rather than a classical guitar.
