Hello! Peter, why don’t you consider the option of travel guitars, those models that you can play at home and it will be comfortable for a teenager. Something bigger than a baby Jane, something similar to a Taylor mini gs, so that it’s spacious and compact. Just yours Full size guitars are great, but they are very heavy. Thanks in advance!

I purchased my Furch Yellow Master's Choice Gc-CR over a year ago as a gift to myself for my 62nd birthday. It has lived up to being my dream guitar purchase and this demo is one of the best I've come across that gives a hint of how beautiful these guitars sound!

Thank you Guitarist magazine for featuring a brand I have been raising awareness of for 20 years now! I always say the greatest things (including guitars) are rarely the easiest to find - and Furch is a perfect example. If anyone is watching this from the UK please do visit us as we have the largest showroom of Furch in the UK - and are centrally located so easy access from most of the UK.

The video doesn’t do the guitars justice, they resonate in such a unique way, it sort of resonates into your body. I sat in a guitar shop and my mate who works there asked me, which of these high end acoustic brands would you buy. I said well Taylor or Martin. He gave me Martin, then a Taylor to play. Both were lovely. Then he gave me a Furch, never heard of them. I was and still is in love with the brand. A couple years later a took the dive and bought one. It wasn’t the super expensive vintage rosewood guitar but still exceptional. I had to part with that guitar but I will buy another soon! @RichardGuitarshop are amazing. He has the same passion as I do for the brand. Support them

I have a Taylor 2017 NAMM Custom shop Sinker redwood top/Amazonian Rosewood body A stunning guitar worth a lot of money that sounds great too However I recently got my hands on a Furch Custom or Rainbow series Like the Red deluxe in terms of quality and price BUT less bling but with their top quality woods, Alpine Spruce and Cocobolo which are considered upgrades on the Sitka and Rosewood That suits me better, less bling but the best woods Not saying it doesn't still look fantatsic, it does, their finish is superb , it just looks more classical in style Now I love the Taylor, it sounds and looks awesome and has a distinct very rich, warm tone , with great overtones and alittle mid scoop, ideal for Singer soingwriter But I would never play it and then play the Furch straight after The Furch blows it away and we are talking a Taylor TOP of the range guitar that at the retail price would cost nearly 60% more than the Furch And again, ther Taylor is a magnificent guitar, there is nothing wroing with it at all, it sound gorgeous But the Furch is like its from a different planet , Its quite simply the BEST guitar I have ever hear or played and despite being a GA I would confidemtly take it to ANY BlueGrass session with no fears at all that it would hoid its own against any D41, 42 or 45 Eeven though Its not aconsidered a guitar that is best suited fror that style , its projection and clarity and sustain across ALL the spectrum, from bass , middles and highs is just so smooth and clear and loud I'd say the clossest I have heard was a Martin custom D28 style with an Adi top and Cocobolo body but the Furch has just the same sustain, and power but just a better balance and clarity acros,s ALL the range , theres are no scoops or bumps

@@andreasrausch5552 Hey Andreas , I just looked up your guitar I see tthe nut width is 46mm so I imagine this would lend itself to fingerstyle particulalrly well? Also the Ceadar/Hog combination, I imagine you get a very balanced and warm rich sound? I actually chose the Furch to complement the Taylor , which with a Sinker Redwood top and Amazon rosewood back is tending be very rich and warm , loads of overtones I think they call Sinker redwood "Cedar on steroids" It has a mid range scoop and real bassy thump in there as well , great for singing over as it wraps around and fills out he frequencies around the vocal The Furch is a totally different beast, the Alpine Spruce snd Cocobolo sound much more chimy and piano like and very very clear and powerful Amazing projection but still mainains just this perfect balance across all the frequencies so unlike a classic Dread there's no feeling of the bass being projected louder, EVERYTHING is projected equally Theres no mid range scoop therfore This a guitar I'd take to an acoutic or Blue Grass jam for fun just to see the suprise of the Martin Dreadnought owners as this "Furch" guitar held its own against any D40 series Its also a delight for finger picking because of the clarity If I was playing and singing live then I'd go with the Taylor though But If i was recording seperartely Vocals or playing any lead or over dubbed licks then the Furch all day Both beautiful In their own way And I really think Its diminishing returns as you go above about 3000, theres a lot of emporers clothes BS about as we can see from any blind test and people are often paying extra for the bling more than anything else I think the one way they may be considered an upgrade is simply in sell on price holding better and also prehaps how they open up over the years Also remember wood grading is nearly all based on aesthetics, not actually how it sounds initially so my master grade woods don't neccessarily make a better sounding guitar than ones with AAA grade ! I think Furch tuning the top AND back on all their deluxe and Rainbows makes a huge difference though But really as you know its all so individual and subjective I think these days, once you get past £1000 even you can get a guitar that sounds awesome and you really would not notice much difference between some of the best in this category and a £5000 plus custom shop unless you did a side by side comparison and even then its still subjective and the difference in quality would not be worth £3-4000 MORE ! Do you even feel like you would like to "upgrade" some day or need to? Really the best guitar in the world is always the one you are playing right now and enjoying it! I'd love to hear and play a cedar/hog guitar or own one some day

these guitars sound wonderful when playing fingerstyle. unfortunatelly, lack some of the resonance when playing barre chords. I'm the owner of a violet. I played on all these three. the yellow has some extra sound quality for me when it comes to higher notes, whereas the red has a wonderfully comfortable fingerboard. Has anyone of you changed the saddle in the violet? Any recomendations when it comes to lowering the string action?

Yes, actually the Violet would work well - it's punchy and easy playing. Yellow and Red are both very fine guitars but we'd be looking to the spruce topped variants not the cedar ones for Bluegrass. The latter two are really rich and long sustaining guitars, quite distinctive in tone. Furch also makes more vintage voiced models if you need a more traditional bluegrass sound. All great instruments though.

@@guitarist I meant to ask what the saddle was made of also what the bridge plate inside the guitar is - some manufacturers use plywood or other unsuitable material. Judging by the sound these instruments make - at least as much as I can tell from the broadcast recording there's no problem there. They certainly do seem to have put the effort in on choosing good quality materials. I'd certainly recommend checking them out as good choice.
@guitarist
@guitarist Жыл бұрын
The saddles are Tusq on all three. We weren't told what the bridge plates were made of - maybe Furch themselves would tell you if you contacted them? Judging by the way they play and sound it's likely that they've used quality material.
