The Grand Auditorium Rainbow Gc-DE model's soundboard is made from river-harvested redwood, while the back and sides are made from exotic ebony. The Full-Pore High-Gloss body finish, a full-pore, high-gloss varnish, improves the acoustic properties of the guitars, provides excellent surface protection and enhances the wood's natural texture. 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 pattern. The fingerboard surface is decorated with mother-of-pearl position markers. The guitar's noble look is emphasized by the body, fingerboard and headstock made of Indian rosewood with white contrasting line, rosewood centre strip on the back plate and a rosette in the form of a ring made of Indian rosewood and mother-of-pearl (abalone). Stable tuning is guaranteed by high-quality Gotoh 510 Nickel Patina mechanics with ebony pegs.
The active electronics of the L.R. Baggs Anthem use a combination of microphone sound sensing (patented Tru.Mic technology) and a sub-cellular pickup, which guarantees authentic reproduction of the acoustic sound of the instrument and low microphonicity, 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.
