Description

High-quality acoustic guitar designed for discerning players seeking maximum stage performance and amplified tone
Bevel Duo ergonomic feature for maximum playing comfort
LR Baggs Stagepro Element pickup included
Proprietary design features and production technologies, including individual soundboard voicing and the revolutionary Furch CNR System® Active neck joint
Stylish natural appearance featuring dark-colored appointments
High-protection Furch gigbag include

The Violet Performance EM a is designed for discerning acoustic players who prioritize stage performance, maximum playing comfort, and the most natural amplified tone. The soundboard of the guitar is made of carefully selected Engelmann spruce, whose excellent acoustic properties are further enhanced by our innovative individual soundboard voicing process. The back and sides are crafted from African mahogany, a tonewood known for its warmth and balance. Together, these materials produce a well-balanced, dynamic sound with clear highs, warm bass, and long-lasting sustain, making the instrument equally suitable for delicate fingerstyle passages as well as more assertive flatpicking or strumming.

To ensure outstanding performance on stage, the guitar is equipped with the LR Baggs Stagepro Element system, delivering a highly natural, studio-quality amplified sound that faithfully captures the instrument’s acoustic character.

In addition to several dark appointments, the natural appearance of the Violet Performance EM a is further highlighted by our Open-Pore Finish, which leaves the pores of the wood exposed and allows the tonewood to resonate more freely. Playing comfort is further elevated by the Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, carefully integrated into both the top and back plate, significantly reducing arm and rib pressure and ensuring exceptional comfort even during prolonged performances. For improved orientation during live performance, the guitar also features linear position markers on the side of the fretboard, allowing for quick and intuitive navigation across the neck under any lighting conditions.

Discover Your Sound With Individual Soundboard Voicing

Our unique voicing process fine-tunes each soundboard to perfection, resulting in guitars that consistently deliver crystal-clear, harmonically rich tone. This precise adjustment ensures a balanced and dynamic sound across the entire tonal range, allowing your music to truly come alive.

Make Every Note Shine With Furch’s Resonance Enhancing Finish

Every Furch guitar features our uniquely developed ultra-thin lacquer that not only protects, but also enhances your instrument’s natural resonance, creating a richer, fuller sound that brings out the true character of each note. Additionally, it highlights the wood’s natural beauty, ensuring your Furch guitar is as visually stunning as it sounds.

Bevel Duo for extra comfort

The Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, consisting of two bevels—one at the forearm and one at the rib position—significantly enhances player comfort and elevates the instrument’s exclusive appearance. Utilizing modern 3D printing technology in conjunction with traditional wood shaping, we achieve maximum precision in its creation.

Built to Play, Engineered to Last With Furch CNR System^® Active

The Furch CNR System^® Active neck design takes our original CNR System^® to the next level, offering unparalleled stability and precision for players who demand consistent performance. This innovative design adapts seamlessly to changes in humidity while maintaining perfect playability, ensuring your guitar feels and plays the way you want it to—every time you pick it up. Featuring a dual-action truss rod encased in a rigid carbon structure, the system is further enhanced by a solid-wood expansion element that automatically adjusts the neck angle to maintain consistent string action over time. It minimizes the need for costly, time-consuming neck resets and eliminates maintenance concerns, giving you the freedom to adjust your setup quickly and easily and allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the joy of playing—because that’s what truly matters.

LR Baggs Stagepro Element pickup

The Violet Performance EM a comes equipped with an LR Baggs Stagepro Element, which is an upgraded version of the LR Baggs Element Active System – Volume Tone Control. The additional features of the Stagepro Element include a side-mounted preamp with a three-band equalizer and phase inversion as well as a sensitive onboard tuner. With a clean classy look, the Stagepro Element pickup system provides easy battery access and includes the Garrett Null notch filter that delivers a warm pristine sound even under the most challenging conditions.

Excellent playability

The Brankowood® fretboard of the guitar is equipped with special shortened frets which deliberately do not extend to the edge of the fretboard. This prevents them from protruding due to fretboard shrinkage at lower humidity. The resulting area contains a flexible ebony-colored filler, which can perfectly absorb any changes.

Contrasting black details

The spruce soundboard of the Violet Performance EM a is decorated with binding, pickguard and rosette in a contrasting black design.

Title: Great tone and feel – exactly what I was hoping for! I recently received my new guitar

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!

Excellent service and advice

Excellent service and advice.

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.

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.
