The Furch Vintage 3 model
is the flagship of the Vintage Series. Made from the very best premium
materials with meticulous attention to every last detail, the guitar not only
delivers a superb sound, courtesy of soundboard voicing, but numerous
appointments lend it a classy look. Like all other Vintage guitars, the Furch
Vintage 3 model features a solid-wood construction that combines a Sitka spruce
soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides.
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 Vintage 3 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
Furch Vintage 3 guitar 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, Furch Vintage 3 guitar
has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound
across the entire tonal spectrum.
Special hand-brushed
finish
The instrument is
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.
Attractive look
The attractive look of
Furch Vintage 3 guitar is underscored by body, headstock, and fingerboard
binding made from koa with a contrasting line, and a top adorned by herringbone
purfling.
Rosette made of abalone
The soundhole is adorned
by a rosette featuring a double ring with a green abalone inlay and a
contrasting black and white line.
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.
Pearl position markers
White pearl side position
markers and fingerboard inlays improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the
guitar’s exclusive appearance.
Emphasis on detail
The headstock of Furch
Vintage 3 guitar is adorned by a Madagascar rosewood overlay.
Excellent machine heads
The guitar has an
excellent tuning stability courtesy of Gotoh SE700 Gold Patina machine heads
with a 1:15 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.
