The body of this guitar is made of red cedar and African mahogany. The Open Pore lacquer finish provides an excellent level of protection and gives this model a deeper, very natural, sound. The 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 guitars is suitably complemented by the imitation tortoiseshell binding and pickguard and the decorative black walnut rosette. 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 Master's Choice instruments are equipped with high-quality LR Baggs Stagepro Element electronics with an underdrive pickup. The preamp with installation in the guitar's neck also offers an integrated tuner, a three-band equalizer, a notch filter for feedback suppression and a phase reversal button.
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.
