Find your dream sound with a unique soundboard tuning process

This precise adjustment of dynamics, loudness, tonal balance and structural rigidity of the board ensures a balanced and dynamic performance across the entire tonal range, making your music truly come alive.

Let every note shine with a resonant finish
Every Furch guitar is finished with our unique ultra-thin lacquer that not only protects but also enhances the natural resonance of your instrument, contributing to a richer, fuller sound that makes every note stand out. It also enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain, making your Furch guitar both sonically and visually impressive.

Designed for play, built to last thanks to CNR System ® Active
The Furch CNR System ® Active neck construction builds on the success of the original CNR System ® and offers improved stability and precision neck adjustment, while seamlessly adapting to changes in ambient humidity and maintaining the instrument's excellent playability. This improved version features a two-way bracing encased in a solid carbon construction and also includes a solid wood expansion element that automatically adjusts the neck slope and maintains consistent string height over time. With smooth and precise adjustment of neck deflection and string height, the CNR System ® Active ensures that your guitar's characteristics are consistent every time you play.

• The improved construction connecting the neck bridge to the fingerboard improves neck stability and transfers string tension to the expansion element and tuning screw. Its length and strength ensure optimal neck geometry and excellent playability.
• The eccentric screw ensures a stable lateral position of the neck.
• Two-way bracing allows for precise adjustment of neck deflection.
• The carbon neck brace shell maintains stable neck deflection over long periods of time, even under demanding conditions.
• The expansion gap allows for natural movement of the wood due to changes in humidity.
• The solid wood expansion element is the heart of the CNR Active® system. It responds to ambient humidity by expanding or contracting, helping to maintain consistent neck characteristics.
• The string height adjustment screw allows for fine-tuning of the string height to customize the playability to your preference.
