Description

High-quality acoustic guitar with beautiful balanced sound.
Proprietary design features and production technologies, including innovative soundboard voicing and revolutionary Furch CNR System^® neck joint.
Stylish natural appearance featuring dark-colored appointments.

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.

Unique voicing process

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.

Open-Pore Finish

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.

Furch CNR System^® Neck Design

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.

Elegant black pickguard

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.

Maximum protection

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.

Furch Violet

Furch Violet series are the result of a truly evolutionary history that I am so proud to have not only witnessed, but supported directly and promoted personally for 25 years now

Petrs dedication to technology to overcome technical boundaries is genuinely inspiring. The result has been improved tone, improved stability (CNR Active system is patented & exclusively available on Furch guitars including Violet series!), improved feel whilst enabling groundbreaking price points - so Furch can be enjoyed and afforded by everyone.

The Violet series, whilst being the most affordable range, still have every World Class attribute and signature build quality of the most expensive models you will find in their catalog.

Furch Guitars Violet Series Reviews

The range that took my breath away 25 years ago - I just could not believe the price point. World Class acoustic guitars at a price that frankly leaves competition weeping

Read our customer testimonials who have trusted our recommendation and invested in a Furch Blue series guitar, both in store and online.

Excellent service!

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.

Love this guitar!

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.

Thank you for your positive review! We are so happy to hear that you love your Furch Violet Gc-SM Deluxe Acoustic Guitar and that you had a great experience purchasing it from us. We strive to provide high-quality products and excellent customer service. Keep on playing and making beautiful music :)

Richard

All Round Great

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!

Furch Violet

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.

Beautiful Guitar

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.

One happy guitar player……

The staff at Richards Guitars gave me great service and Eastman make very good guitars.
The chaps at Richards sorted delivery of an Eastman E20 OM-MR-TC to their showroom to suit my travel timetable and arranged an appointment for me to check it out and to part exchange my E10. The E20 was perfectly set up by Chris ant Richards and I even got a discount because he noticed a slight cosmetic flaw on the guitar. All done painlessly. Many thanks.
I had my E10 OM as a working guitar for five years or so and was very pleased with it, but came to realise I prefer the sound of rosewood guitars to mahogany - neither is better or worse, it’s just personal taste. But this E20 is in another league - I don’t know if it’s the Madagascar rosewood or the torrefied Adironak top or something else, but it seems to have all the best features of rosewood and mahogany. It plays like a dream too. I have a forty year old Martin M36 and a 30 year old Gibson Advanced Jumbo and I can assure you this brand new Eastman is already playing in the same league.

The perfect guitar for songwriters

This was an unintentional purchase (honestly!) - originally I got it for a mate but he changed his mind when I showed it him online "too small for me" 🙄
Well - unfortunately for my finances! - I loved it from the moment I picked it up, even knowing that I was supposed to be handing it over to my mate. When he said he didn't want it, I then had to justify keeping it as it doesn't fit my business needs - I have a Little Jane LJ11-SR for overseas gigs, a Furch Red Deluxe GC-SR and Yellow OM-CR, and a Blue OM-MM for recording. I just don't NEED this Pioneer - where would I use it?
Well the answer is in the guitar itself - for pleasure; it is such an intimate instrument, having a huge presence and such a direct, focused tone, without being too midrangey like so many all-Mahogany guitars tend to be.
I lined it up against my other Furchs, and a couple of Taylors, and honestly, I prefer sitting on the sofa with the Pioneer.

The soundport really does appear to transmit the guitar's tone to the player, making it sound bigger than its physical size, and the neck width is just right - no silly scrawny typical 'travel guitar' thing here. When put up against my Blue OM-MM (the fairest comparison due to the woods used), it sounded pretty much as loud, and somehow having a pretty equal bass response. The OM is more complex, with more overtones, as one might expect, but in terms of projection, the Pioneer is quite remarkable. Up against the Red, it's just a different tone, but again, probably what I'd choose to pick up if I'm writing a song - and that's exactly what I did the morning after my mate decided he didn't want it. It's definitely fun, and let's face it, that's why most of us play guitar. I have been very business oriented in my choice of instruments, for more than 25 years, and whilst this Pioneer MMa wouldn't be my first choice for a big gig, that's only because I play with 3 guitars in different tunings, and I would find the change in body size between songs a bit weird. I'm playing at a festival in December, and often the venues are cramped and lugging big guitar cases is not very practicable, so I'll probably take the Pioneer along with my Little Jane.

I really should mention you wonderful guys at Richards Guitars! I needed this in a hurry to fit in with my mate's diary, and Chris fitted the LR Baggs Element VTC and set it up in a ridiculously short period of time. If you visit the store then make sure you say hello to Chris - he's a real gentleman, but often not seen as he is so busy. Jon and Jake are stars; this time Jon was in the limelight and he made the entire experience (especially as he knew the odd circumstances around me trying the Pioneer) a whole lot of fun - he had me howling with laughter during our email exchange after my mate rejected the guitar!

I am so impressed with Richards Guitars, with the ethos behind the business, the different instruments I might never have come across, and the people who really do make you feel like a friend, that I have put a link and a recommendation on my website www.markrobinsonmusic.com.

If you're considering a Pioneer, just do it - you won't regret it, and the only place I'd buy it is from Richards Guitars, where everything is about the customer, and providing the best experience and instruments you could possibly wish for.

Thank you, guys!

Gorgeous guitar and great customer service.

I love this gorgeous guitar. And Richards Guitars have many great guitars in the showroom. I tried others but couldn’t beat the Gatsby. It was perfectly set up before my arrival to give it a road test. I was given plenty of time to try it and Jon was really helpful in keeping it aside for me.

Lovely guitar that sounds as good as it looks

Bella

Very happy, thanks. Bass is set up well and plays beautifully. Named her "Bella"...It was a pleasure dealing with a customer focused and ethically minded company.... and I got a free tree!.. don't get that with Gear for Music etc...
Will definitely recommend, and when I can convince myself that I really need a Vintage VSA500 ReIssued Semi Acoustic Guitar ~ Natural Walnut, I will come looking here 1st

Great item!

Great item, will be buying another in red. Would wholeheartedly recommend! 5*****

Outstanding service!

Outstanding service. All queries were answered promptly via email. Product arrived well packaged. Would 100% recommend!!!

Stylish and Practical gig bag

I had purchased a Vintage Statesboro parlour guitar and needed something to protect it when going to & from gigs. This case seemed ideal and that was confirmed upon arrival. It will give good protection and the guitar fits perfectly. The stylish appearance has been much admired by my fellow band members. Happy!

Glossy Damage

Initially very pleased with the finish however just recently I had occasion to practice under LED lighting and it was then I discovered a significant amount of very thin scratches / cracking of the lacquer, not quite sure which. If they are scratches it looks like they have been caused by a plectrum and as I don’t use one it has dampened my impression somewhat. I have attempted to take photos but they fail to show the problem.
