Furch GN4SR

I wanted to add an easy-to-play nylon guitar to add to my set up and, having been bowled over by the G23CRC which I bought from Richard some time ago, Furch was the obvious place to look. This guitar didn’t disappoint: although naturally quieter than a steel string, it has great resonance for a nylon, superb tone and was set up with a low action and great playability. Whilst I learned on a classical guitar with its wider fingerboard and higher action, having a nylon string guitar which plays like my steel string is great when swopping between guitars in a gig. I imagine for a steel string player wanting to get into nylon would find this guitar an ideal choice. I opted for the spruce model - the guitar has been played a lot in the last few months and the sound is really opening up. It sounds great plugged in too. The original choice of pickup, the newer Matrix Infinity, unfortunately couldn’t be fitted because of the strut pattern; however, the Ellipse model still gives great results. I think the nylon particularly benefits from the internal microphone in the blend. Much help as always was available online before and after purchase online, as was patient, unobtrusive guidance from Richard’s colleague in the shop when trying the guitar. I would highly recommend both the guitar and the seller unreservedly.
