The Furch Red Series is synonymous with the highest class of
our solid wood guitars, which are truly uncompromising in terms of the
materials and components. The Red LR is made of Alpine spruce used on the
soundboard and master-grade Indian rosewood on the back and sides. Both the top
and the back plate undergo a special tuning process, which in conjunction
with the material used gives the instrument a beautiful, versatile sound
with clear and open tones. The beauty of the tonewood is underlined by
a high-gloss finish and a number of decorative details, led by
a koa binding and premium rosette, abalone purfling and headstock inlay,
and pearl leaf fingerboard inlay. The guitar comes enclosed in a highly
durable Hiscox case.
Resonance enhancing finish
The instrument is protected by Furch’s 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.
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.
Beauty of exotic wood
The stunning appearance of the Red LR 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 tail decoration and a premium rosette
with abalone inlay.
Transparent protection
The soundboard of the Red LR 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.
Exotic leaf inlays
The ebony fingerboard is decorated with gorgeous
mother-of-pearl leaf front inlays. A similar pattern is rendered in green
abalone on the headstock.
Excellent machine heads
The 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.
