Discover Your True Sound With Furch’s Voicing Process
Furch’s unique voicing process fine-tunes each soundboard to perfection, resulting in guitars that deliver crystal-clear, harmonically rich tones. This precise adjustment ensures a balanced and dynamic sound across the entire tonal range, allowing your music to truly come alive.
Make Every Note Shine With Furch’s Resonance Enhancing Finish
Every Furch guitar features our uniquely developed ultra-thin lacquer that not only protects, but also enhances your instrument’s natural resonance, creating a richer, fuller sound that brings out the true character of each note. Additionally, it highlights the wood’s natural beauty, ensuring your Furch guitar is as visually stunning as it sounds.
Highest-quality material
The Red Master’s Choice is made from master grade tonewoods. The soundboard features Sitka spruce, which lends the guitar beautifully bright and open sound. The back and sides are made from Indian rosewood.
Built to Play, Built to Last With Furch’s CNR System®
The Furch CNR System® neck design offers unmatched stability and precision. With a dual-action truss rod encased in a rigid carbon structure, it allows for smooth and fine adjustments, ensuring optimal playability and a setup that lasts, so your guitar always performs at its best.
- 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.
Exotic ziricote
The bridge, fingerboard and headstock overlay are made from exotic wood ziricote, which beautifully contrasts with the spruce soundboard.
Premium rosette made from koa
The soundhole is adorned by a rosette featuring a premium solid koa ring with a green abalone inlay. Koa is also used on tail decoration and body, fingerboard and headstock binding.
Exotic leaf inlays
The fingerboard is adorned with gorgeous mother-of-pearl leaf front inlays. A similar pattern is rendered in green abalone on the headstock.
Excellent machine heads
The Red Master’s Choice 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.
LR Baggs Stagepro Anthem system
The Red Master’s Choice comes with LR Baggs Stagepro Anthem pickup with the control panel mounted in the side of the guitar to provide easy access to the battery, and built-in three-band equalizer. The mix control allows blending the sound from the microphone and the undersaddle pickup. Additional tone shaping features include bass and treble controls, phase inversion, a notch filter, and highly efficient feedback suppression.
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.
