Remarkable sound
Sound is the most important consideration for Furch guitars. Their excellent acoustic qualities are the result of state-of-the art technologies, proprietary production processes and precision craftsmanship combined with the use of the best available tonewoods. The Violet Master’s Choice is no fluke. Hear its exceptional sound quality for yourself with Tonepedia’s app. You can compare its unique sound with other Furch models and also guitars from other manufacturers.
The premium nature of the Violet Master’s Choice is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using our proprietary voicing process that enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Violet Master’s Choice has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.
The instrument features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection. The finish accentuates low frequencies and produces a natural woody sound.
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.
The Violet Master’s Choice is protected by a black pickguard, which has been redesigned by the addition of a transparent extension toward the soundhole. This pickguard shape provides better soundboard protection without disrupting the rosette pattern.
For maximum protection during transport, we highly recommend to provide every new Furch guitar with a high-rigidity Hiscox case with a highly impact-resistant ABS outer shell and interior polyurethane padding, or with the first-class gigbag with additional shell reinforcements in the walls, and other special features for comfortable carrying on the shoulder, in hand, or as a backpack.

Title: Great tone and feel – exactly what I was hoping for!
I recently received my new guitar, and I have to say, my first impressions are really positive. The build quality feels solid right out of the box, but the biggest standout for me is definitely the sound. It has such a rich, clear tone with nice depth – whether I’m playing soft melodies or strumming chords, it projects beautifully and has a really warm, pleasing character.
The playability is smooth too, making it comfortable to practice or play for longer sessions. It feels well-balanced and looks just as good as it sounds. For anyone looking for a reliable instrument with a great voice, this one absolutely delivers. Very happy with my purchase!

Would you like me to make it shorter, or add a bit more detail about the type of music it suits best?
Excellent service and advice.
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!
Furch guitars have been my passion for 25 years - from the first day I picked one up which is well documented on my blog. I am so glad you love this one as much as I do! So glad you are happy and I cannot thank you enough for trusting in us.
Bought my first Furch earlier this year and it was also the first purchase from Richards Guitars. I absolutely love this guitar, it has a great sounds and is so tactile… l love playing it and everyone compliments the sound. I fabulous but from a great dealer.

Jake and the team at Richards Guitars are great!
Jake was very helpful in his communication and advice over email, and in setting me up with an appointment that worked for me, and giving me all the necessary instructions and details.
The appointment was great - Jake gave just the right mix of space and advice and at no point did I feel rushed or judged with my many questions and attempt at playing.
I love the sound and look of my new Furch, and whilst it feels different in my hands currently, I am thoroughly enjoying playing it and am sure it will become just as comfortable and effortless as my previous Takamine.
All in all, I would highly recommend both Richards Guitars and Furch!
Thoroughly enjoyed the process of choosing a guitar. I was given a great range of guitars to check out in my own time - and no pressure to spend more than I needed to. I couldn't be happier with this guitar. Thanks everyone at Richards.
This is the second time I have purchased from Richard's Guitars and once again I have had an excellent experience.
This beautiful Furch Guitar arrived on time and perfectly packed.
I love the smell of a new guitar when you first open the case and the scent of the guitar body wafts upwards providing a sense of what is to come.
I was not disappointed, this guitar not only looks wonderful with it's open pore finish, but played beautifully once tuned, right out of the case. Chris had set the guitar up perfectly to my taste and I want to thank the whole team for helping me choose this guitar.
The Spruce top on this guitar will develop with me for years to come and I just love the clarity, dynamic range and warmth of this guitar, both finger picked and strummed.
Thank you all at Richards Guitars.
