Here we have a new Furch
Blue Deluxe Gc-SW, the first Blue Series Furch to feature the Bevel Duo,
comprised of two bevels – one in front, at the forearm and one in the rear, at
the rib position. The combination of these two bevels provides a substantial
increase in playing comfort and also enhances the exclusive appearance of the
instrument.
The Blue Series is
unbeatable in its class, mainly due to its solid wood construction and wide
array of materials and body shapes, which offer a nearly inexhaustible
combination of sound options. A rich tone can be achieved with a cedar
soundboard and mahogany back and sides, while a spruce top with Mahogany back
and sides provides a strong sound. The maximum use of the sound potential of
these woods is ensured by our proprietary voicing process of the soundboard.
The natural sound and appearance are further accentuated by our semi-matte
Open-Pore Finish. The overall subtle appearance of the Blue Series guitars is
completed by fine adornments, foremost being a walnut rosette in front and faux
tortoise binding.
The Blue SW is Furch’s
most affordable solid-wood instrument. The soundboard is made from high-grade
western red cedar, and the back and sides feature high-quality African mahogany.
Open-Pore Finish leaves wood pores exposed, which preserves the natural
acoustic properties of tonewoods. The combination of these high-quality solid
tonewoods and finish produces a beautiful musical sound across the entire tonal
range with slightly pronounced lows.
Remarkable
sound
Sound is the most
important consideration for Furch guitars. Their excellent acoustic qualities
are the result of state-of-the art technologies, proprietary production
processes and precision craftsmanship combined with the use of the best
available tonewoods. The Blue SW is no fluke.
Unique
voicing process
The premium nature of the
Blue SW is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned
using the voicing process, which enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the
highest level. Thanks to that, the Blue SW has a crystalline clear,
harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal
spectrum.
Open-Pore
Finish
The instrument features
Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic
qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection.
The finish accentuates low frequencies and produces a natural woody sound.
Stylish
binding
The Blue SW owes its
attractive natural appearance to binding made from faux tortoise.

CNR System® Neck Design
1.
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability
and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod
is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and
controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal
setup.
2.
A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise
adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
3.
A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set
position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint
designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor
of essential importance for playability.
4.
A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel
that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body.
Tortoise
pickguard
The Blue SW is protected
by a faux tortoise pickguard, which has been redesigned by the addition of a
transparent extension toward the soundhole. This pickguard shape provides
better soundboard protection without disrupting the rosette pattern.
Rosette
made from black walnut
The soundhole is adorned
by a rosette featuring a double ring with black walnut inlay.
Excellent
playability
The fingerboard is made
from high-quality ebony and features buffed frets, which allows for high
playing comfort.
