Furch’s Grand Nylon series combines two guitar
worlds, the sound and lightness of playing the classical guitar and ergonomic
features of a neck of steel string guitars. The GNc 2-SW has a Sitka
spruce soundboard and black walnut back and sides. These tonewoods give the
guitar not only a pleasing musical sound, but also a gorgeous natural
look. A time-proven body design and internal bracing pattern translate
into an optimal balance of volume, sustain, and dynamics.
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 GNc 2-SW is no fluke. Hear its exceptional sound quality for yourself
on the Furch website with Tonepedia’s app. You can compare its unique
sound with other Furch models and also guitars from other manufacturers.
Unique voicing process
The premium nature of the GNc 2-SW is
underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the
voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the
highest level. Thanks to that, the GNc 2-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.
Attractive look
The attractive look of the GNc
2-SW is underscored by a rosette featuring double ring with
black walnut inlay and body binding made from faux tortoise.
Furch CNR System® Neck Design
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.
1. A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise
adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Satin transparent protection
The soundboard of the GNc 2-SW is protected by
a satin transparent pickguard that allows the natural beauty of the wood
to shine through. The pickguard is designed to have no effect on the tonal
qualities of the soundboard.
Maximum protection
For maximum protection during transport, this
guitar includes a high-rigidity Hiscox case with a highly
impact-resistant ABS outer shell and interior polyurethane padding.
