Furch Grand Nylon GNc4-SR Hybrid Nylon Guitar

We are excited to announce the arrival of Furch guitars to New Zealand, after being appointed the exclusive retailer for this top of the line European built guitar brand.

Handcrafted in the Czech Republic, Furch is trending in a competitive field of high quality acoustic guitars, with artists such as Al Di Meola, Suzanne Vega, Glen Hansaard, and David Knopfler among their enthusiastic endorsers.

Innovative design, high quality tonewoods, and a stellar commitment to environmental sustainability has helped Furch build a great reputation in Europe & the US, gaining sales from the established brands in this price point.

This guitar is from the Grand Nylon Series – a hybrid nylon strung series, with a cutaway and thinner neck than a standard classical guitar.

The soundboard is individually tuned on each guitar using Furch’s voicing process which enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the highest level, giving the guitar a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced and highly dynamic sound across the tonal spectrum.

An issue we see with many mid-high end guitars is the need for neck resets. Furch’s CNR Neck Design is something we are excited about as this system virtually guarantees a reset won’t ever be needed. A high precision, dual -action truss road maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth & controlled adjustment, ensuring the best playability and optimal setup. This really is a gamechanger – and to find out more, see the video at the bottom of this listing.

This guitar is a Grand Nylon GNc4-SR. To break this down, the Grand Nylon Series comes in 2 models, the GN2 & GN4. The GN4 denotes the series, the ‘c; a cutaway, and finally ‘SR’ – these are the woods, Sitka Spruce & Indian Rosewood. The particular guitar has a LR Baggs VTS Nylon pickup installed.

The Grand Nylon series combines two guitar worlds, the sound and lightness of classical guitars and the ergonomic features of the steel string guitar neck – referred to sometimes as a ‘Hybrid’ neck.

The body is finished in Furch’s own Full-Pore High Gloss finish, developed to enhance the resonance qualities of the wood. It is a ultrathin layer of highly resistant lacquer providing excellent protection for the guitar and at the same time, accentuating the structure of the wood.

The beautiful look of the guitar is underscored by body binding made from man-made tortoiseshell, and a double ring rosette featuring a green abalone inlay. A transparent pickguard designed to have no effect on the tonal properties of the guitar protects the guitar, while allowing the natural beauty of the wood come through.

Finally, to protect this fantastic instrument, a high quality Hiscox case is supplied.

In line with Furch’s Environmental commitments, the carbon footprint of this guitar is 15.2kg (reduced from over 38kg).
