The Blue CM 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.
The natural appearance of the Blue Series is further accentuated by the combination of Furch’s semi-matte Open-Pore Finish and fine adornments featuring a walnut rosette and faux tortoise binding and pickguard. The Blue Deluxe models also include the ergonomic Bevel Duo feature, which significantly increases comfort during play.
Baritone models are optimized to be tuned a perfect fourth lower than a regular guitar. The strings are tuned to low B , E, A, D, F#, and high B, and the fingerboard scale is extended by 60 mm from the standard 650 mm to 710 mm. Baritone guitars feature the standard BARc body shape, i.e. BAR with cutaway, and a modified bracing pattern for the best possible sound quality in the low register.
