The Full-Pore Finish

One of the things I’ve always admired about Furch is how much thought goes into every part of the guitar – even the finish. It’s not just about looking pretty or protecting the wood (though it does both beautifully) – Furch have developed what they call their Full-Pore Finish, and it’s genuinely something special.

Rather than using a thick, tone-dampening coat, they apply up to ten ultra-thin layers of UV-cured lacquer. The result? A crystal-clear finish that’s incredibly durable, and lets the wood breathe and resonate the way it’s meant to. It’s essentially an acoustic-friendly lacquer designed for the 21st century – hard-wearing, great to look at, but most importantly, it enhances the sound.

Watch this really interesting video of Petr Furch (CEO) discussing his approach to the finishing of Furch guitars.


Furch offers three variations of this finish, depending on the model: High-Gloss, Vintage, and Satin – each one chosen to complement the voice and feel of the instrument.

Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish

Furch’s high-gloss finish really is something beautiful. It’s not just a shiny surface for the sake of it – the gloss comes from multiple ultra-thin layers of UV lacquer, each one carefully applied, finely sanded, and then polished to perfection. What I love is the blend of cutting-edge technology with the hands-on skill of their expert luthiers. The end result is a finish that not only looks stunning but feels and performs like something truly special – smooth, resonant, and built to last.

Full-Pore Satin Finish

The Full-Pore Satin Finish on Furch guitars is a joy for players who love that smooth, natural feel under the hands. What’s clever about it is that the final satin layer allows Furch to reduce the total thickness of the UV lacquer by up to 45% compared to other finishes. That means less restriction on the wood’s natural vibration and even better resonance overall. It’s a subtle, elegant finish that really lets the guitar breathe and sing.

Full-PoreVintage Finish

The Full-Pore Vintage Finish starts with the same resonant UV lacquer Furch is known for, applied with their advanced, super-precise technology. But what sets it apart is the final touch – the surface is gently polished using special tools to create a delicate texture that gives the guitar a classic, vintage feel. It’s not just about looks; it gives the instrument that lovely tactile quality you associate with traditional, well-loved guitars.

Open-Pore Finish

The Open-Pore Finish is all about letting the natural beauty of the wood shine through. Furch doesn’t try to hide the grain – instead, they leave the pores exposed, so you can really appreciate the character of the timber. The soundboard is coated with just a very thin layer of their resonant UV lacquer, which means the guitar can resonate more freely and deliver its full tonal potential. It’s a finish that feels honest, organic, and totally in tune with what an acoustic guitar should be.

Neck Finishes


Full-Pore Smooth-Slide Satin Finish

Furch’s Smooth-Slide Satin Finish on the neck is a real player’s dream. It’s a thin polyurethane coating that gives the neck a beautifully smooth feel, reducing friction and letting your hand glide effortlessly—perfect for faster, more accurate playing. What’s also clever is the built-in antibacterial additive using silver nanoparticles. It’s certified and effectively kills off any unwanted germs that build up during play, so your neck stays smooth, clean, and ready to go.

Open-PoreFinish

Furch’s Open-Pore Finish on the neck is designed to keep things feeling as natural as possible. It’s a very thin layer of lacquer that doesn’t fill the wood grain, so you can actually see and feel the texture of the wood beneath your hand. It gives the neck a lovely organic feel. Just like their Smooth-Slide finish, it also includes a certified antibacterial additive with silver nanoparticles, which quietly does its job in the background—keeping the neck clean by killing off any microbes that build up during play. Subtle, clever, and all about the playing experience.
