The front of the Grand Auditorium G Rainbow-LC is made from solid Alpine spruce, while the back and sides are American cocobolo with an unusual wood grain. The Full-Pore High-Gloss finish, a full-pore, high-gloss lacquer finish, enhances the acoustic properties of the guitars, providing excellent surface protection and accentuating the natural texture of the wood. The Furch CNR System's two-way neck bracing adds strength, stability and durability.
The guitar's refined look is enhanced by the Hawaiian koa body, fingerboard and headstock binding with white contrasting lines, pearl front panel inlay with black and white lines, koa back panel centre inlay with white contrasting lines on both sides, ornate rosette composed of solid koa and mother-of-pearl (abalone) and ebony pegs in the headstock with pearl eyelets. 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 pearl dots. Stable tuning is guaranteed by high-quality Gotoh 510 Cosmo Black 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-cable pickup, which guarantees authentic reproduction of the acoustic sound of the instrument and low microphonics, i.e. susceptibility to feedback. The controls are discreetly housed in the instrument's soundhole.
The guitar is supplied 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.
