Vintage
guitars are protected by Vintage Hand-Brushed Finish, which is applied using
the same technology and provides the benefits of UV coating as our proprietary
Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish. Thanks to hand buffing, Vintage guitars have a
pleasing patina reminiscent of traditional instruments. Combined with other
features, such as artificial tortoise binding and pickguard, the design of
Vintage Series guitars breathe the image of a fine aged instrument enhanced by
state-of-the-art construction technologies. Like all other Vintage models,
Furch Vintage 1 guitars feature a solid-wood construction that combines a Sitka
spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides to produce a rich balanced
sound.
Unique
voicing process
The
premium nature of Furch Vintage 1 guitars is underscored by the fact that the
soundboard is tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the guitar’s
tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, Furch Vintage 1 guitars
have a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound
across the entire tonal spectrum.
Special
hand-brushed finish
Furch
Vintage 1 guitars are protected by Full-Pore Vintage Hand-Brushed Finish, a
special finish that provides excellent surface protection and accentuates the
structure of the wood at the same time. Final hand buffing leaves the guitar
with an attractive patina that is reminiscent of aged musical instruments.
Stylish
binding
The
attractive look of the soundboard is underscored by body binding made from
artifical ivory.
Decorative
rosette
The
soundhole of Furch Vintage 1 guitars is adorned by a rosette featuring a double
ring with contrasting black and white lines.
Furch
CNR System® Neck Design
A
high precision dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows fine
adjustments of the neck relief in both directions. The truss rod is installed
in a carbon casing filled with silicone to prevent undesirable vibrations and
to ensure smooth action.
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.
Pearl
position markers
White
pearl side position markers and fingerboard inlays improve fingerboard
orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.
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.
