The front of the guitar is made from solid Sitka spruce, the back and sides from exotic padauk. The Full-Pore High-Gloss finish, a full-pore, high-gloss lacquer finish, 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 excellent acoustic properties of the instrument are enhanced by the front and back plate tuning, normally only available on the top Red series.
The guitar's refined look is accentuated by the imitation tortoiseshell body binding with white contrasting lines, the black-and-white-lined soundboard, a rosette composed of padouk and mother-of-pearl rings, and ebony pegs with mother-of-pearl dots. 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 position dots. Stable tuning is guaranteed by high-quality Schaller M6 mechanics in gold finish with ebony rondelles.
The guitar comes in a luxurious moulded case. Schaller safety strap locks are included.
At the customer's request, the guitar can be fitted with L.R. Baggs electronics. For more information on price and model of electronics, please contact our customer service line or in-store specialists.
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.
