The front of the Rainbow G-LC model is made of solid Alpine spruce, which is complemented by a spectacular cocobolo wood grain on the sides and back. 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 wood's natural texture. The Furch CNR System's two-way neck bracing adds strength, stability and durability.
The guitar's refined look is accentuated by decorative black walnut elements - the body binding with white contrasting line, the end block decoration and the solid black walnut rosette. 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 decorative mother-of-pearl position markers and side mother-of-pearl dots. 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 instrument's acoustic sound and low microphonics, i.e. susceptibility to feedback. The controls are discreetly housed in the instrument's soundhole.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
Few Czech products have such a worldwide reputation as 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.
