Furch GN4CR EAS-VTC Electro Nylon String Hybrid Cutaway Classic (2025 CNR Active Upgrade Model)
" The Furch GN4CR is quite simply the most stunning sounding nylon I have ever experienced - and plays like an acoustic! The ultimate Classical hybrid "
[FT]
If you have always loved the sound of the nylon strung guitar but have been put off by the enorrnous clubby neck and 12th fret neck join - join the club! But things are changing and the classical guitar world is realizing that there is a market for introducing a more user friendly experience for all those steel strung players out there.
However - the GN4 is not only an incredible hybrid guitar but its frankly the nicest classical guitar I have ever seen and heard. Every single aspect of this guitar is stunning. It looks stunning, it feels stunning and it sounds simply out of this world with enormous natural resonance - notes seem to ring forever if left to do so!
If you want a serious nylon strung guitar ignore this at your peril. Personally I would take this guitar over most acoustics now I have experienced it myself - and I play steel strung!
