We are proud to be the exclusive distributor of Furch guitars in New Zealand.

Handcrafted in the Czech Republic, Furch has been making premium acoustic guitars since 1981. They have gained huge popularity all over the world and landed in the hands of artists such as Al Di Meola, Suzanne Vega, Glen Hansaard, and David Knopfler. Innovative design, high quality tonewoods, and a stellar commitment to environmental sustainability has helped Furch build a reputation for incredible tone and reliability.

Every Furch stands out thanks to their unique voicing process; each guitar's soundboard is individually tuned to enhance it's tonal properties to the highest level. This process produces a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, and highly dynamic sound across the tonal spectrum.

In addition to Furch's techniques for sonic maximization, they have also tackled the age old problem of neck resets! Furch's revolutionary CNR System® consists of a high precision dual-action truss rod placed inside a carbon casing, combined with a highly rigid composite neck heel. The innovative design offers unparalleled stability, and because it is very rigid, the neck joint of Furch guitars doesn't require heavy reinforcements, making it much lighter than traditional designs, and allowing a larger area of the soundboard to resonate freely and produce better tone.

Furch's core line of guitars is their Colour Series; Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow and Red, covering a huge range of materials and designs across multiple price points. Whether looking for a stripped back all-solid guitar with the Violet series, or a premium acoustic with exotic tonewoods and detailing with the Red series, Furch has options for every player.

Within each series, Furch has a Master's Choice model which represents what Furch believes to be the culmination of that series. Each Master's Choice guitar comes equipped with an LR Baggs Stagepro pickup system.

 

This guitar is a Red Master's Choice Gc-SR

The Red Master’s Choice represents the top line of Furch’s all-solid-woods guitars that are built using the very best materials and the most advanced production technologies, including innovative top and back voicing, the revolutionary Furch CNR System® neck joint, and resonance enhancing Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish.

This model has the Grand Auditorium shape with cutaway, and it is made from master grade tonewoods – the soundboard features Sitka spruce, and the back and sides are made from Indian rosewood. The beauty of the woods is underscored by a host of exclusive appointments made from exotic koa, ziricote and abalone. Thanks to the combination of premium materials and state-of-the-art production technologies, the Red Master’s Choice is top-class instrument with an attractive look and superb acoustic qualities. It produces clear, open tones that are finely balanced across the entire tonal spectrum.

The Red Master’s Choice is fitted with the LR Baggs Stagepro Anthem system, which combines a bridge pickup, an internal microphone, and a side-mounted preamp. The guitar comes with a heavy-duty Hiscox hardshell case.

 

In line with Furch’s Environmental commitments, the carbon footprint of this guitar is 18.2kg (reduced from 45.6kg).
