Furch Limited 2019 GSc-LC (Limited Edition)

Comments from Furch themselves...

Let us introduce a limited edition of our acoustic guitars for the year 2019! New release in the GSc body shape with cutaway is based on our Grand Nylon series. The internal bracing has been adapted to accommodate steel strings. The soundboard is made from premium quality Alpine spruce. The excellent acoustic properties of this tonewood are enhanced by acoustic voicing, our proprietary process that is the results of many years of research and development. The back and sides are made from cocobolo, a prized Central American tonewood that produces a sound with a balanced midrange, and lends the instrument a gorgeous radiant look. The guitar’s acoustic qualities and overall appearance are enhanced by an ultrathin layer of UV cured Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish.

The exclusive look of this year’s limited edition model is underscored by a host of appointments. The soundboard is adorned by padauk purfling with contrasting lines and a striking rosette featuring a solid koa ring. The body, fingerboard, and headstock binding is also made from koa. The fingerboard and headstock overlay feature ziricote with a Redshift mother-of-pearl inlay. Redshift is a phenomenon in physics, which refers to the fact that the expansion of space increases the wavelength of light toward the red side of the colour spectrum.

The guitar is fitted with high-quality gold patina Gotoh 510 machine heads with polished ebony buttons and a highly precise 1:21 gear ratio, and protected by a heavy-duty Hiscox hardshell case.
