The Red Series is the top line of Furch’s
solid-wood guitars, where no expense is spared in an effort to use the very
finest materials and components. Furch Red LC model is made from master grade
tonewoods – the soundboard features Alpine spruce and the back and sides are
made from Cocobolo. The beauty of the woods is underscored by a host of
appointments – koa binding and premium rosette, green abalone purfling and
headstock inlay, and white pearl leaf fingerboard inlay. Thanks to the
combination of premium materials, decorative details and state-of-the-art
production technologies, Furch Red LC guitar is a 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.
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. Furch Red LC guitar is
no fluke. Hear its exceptional sound quality for yourself 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 Furch Red LC guitar is
underscored by the fact that both the soundboard and the back plate are
individually tuned using the voicing process, our proprietary technology that
enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the
Furch Red LC guitar has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and
highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.
Exceptional finish
The Furch Red LC guitar is protected by our proprietary
Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish, which has been developed to enhance the guitar’s
tonal qualities. The finish consists of an ultrathin layer of highly resistant
lacquer that provides excellent surface protection and accentuates the
structure of the wood at the same time.
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.
· A fully adjustable dual-action
truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and
concave directions.
· 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.
· 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.
Beauty of exotic wood
The stunning appearance of the guitar is underscored by a
figured ziricote bridge, fingerboard, and headstock overlay. The body,
fingerboard, and headstock feature koa binding with a white contrasting line.
Koa was also used on a rosette and tail decoration.
Beautiful rosette made from koa
The soundhole is adorned by a rosette featuring a premium
solid koa ring with green abalone inlay.
Exotic leaf inlays
The fingerboard is decorated with gorgeous
mother-of-pearl leaf front inlays. A similar pattern is rendered in green
abalone on the headstock.
Transparent protection
The soundboard is protected by a 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.
Excellent machine heads
Furch’s Red LC guitar has an excellent tuning stability
courtesy of Gotoh 510 Silver Patina machine heads with polished ebony buttons
and a highly precise 1:21 gear ratio.
High-rigidity Hiscox case
Maximum protection during transport is provided by a
high-rigidity Hiscox case with polyurethane insulating foam that shields the
instrument from changes in external climatic conditions.
