The front of the deluxe Grand Auditorium Rainbow G-C W model is made from master grade Western Red Cedar, while the back and sides are made from North American Claro Walnut. The Full-Pore High-Gloss finish, a full-pore, high-gloss lacquer finish, enhances the acoustic properties of the guitars, provides excellent surface protection and accentuates the natural texture of the wood. The Furch CNR System's two-way neck bracing adds strength, stability and durability.
The fingerboard and headstock are made of ebony with a distinctive wood grain. The fingerboard surface is decorated with mother-of-pearl position markers. The refined look of the guitar is accentuated by the black walnut body, fingerboard and headstock binding with white contrasting lines, walnut soundboard with black and white lines, ornate solid black walnut and abalone rosette, ebony headstock fretboard and ebony pegs. The transparent pickguard lets the natural grain of the wood stand out while not affecting the resonance of the soundboard. Stable tuning is guaranteed by the high-quality Gotoh 510 Nickel patina mechanics with ebony pegs.
The active electronics of the L.R. Baggs Anthem use a combination of microphone pickups (patented Tru.Mic technology) and a sub-cellular pickup, which guarantees authentic reproduction of the instrument's acoustic sound and low microphonics, i.e. susceptibility to feedback. The controls are discreetly housed in the instrument's soundhole.
The guitar comes in a luxurious moulded case.
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.
