The Furch Blue Plus Master's Choice electroacoustic guitar in the Grand Auditorium Cutaway finish is a high-quality all-massive instrument with a Western Red Cedar soundboard whose acoustic qualities are highlighted by a combination of a unique tuning process and a special full-pore, high-gloss finish. The back and sides are made from carefully selected African mahogany. Furch CNR System two-way neck bracing increases the strength, stability and durability of the neck. The excellent acoustic properties of the instruments are enhanced by the special ribbing on the soundboard.
The look of Furch Blue Plus guitars is suitably complemented by the imitation tortoiseshell headstock binding and double ring rosette with black walnut inlays. The transparent pickguard lets the natural grain of the wood stand out while not affecting the resonance of the soundboard. Orientation on the ebony fingerboard is facilitated by side and front position markers. The chrome-plated company mechanics with a gear ratio of 1:18 guarantee precise and stable tuning.
The Furch Blue Plus Master's Choice features an LR Baggs Stagepro Element pickup with tuner and equalizer mounted in the back of the instrument. The guitar comes in a well-made gigbag.
Few Czech products have the worldwide reputation of Furch guitars. The company started in 1981 in one of the many garages of socialist Czechoslovakia, still illegal at the time. Today, the company's acoustic guitars are played by Suzanne Vega, Glen Hansard, David Knopfler, Aneta Langerová, David Koller, Xavier Baumaxa and many others. Furch guitars are best advertised by their reputation.
