Vintage 3 AV a
The Vintage 3 AV a is an ideal choice for players who appreciate the timeless character of traditional guitar design. This model features an individually voiced AAA-grade solid Adirondack spruce top paired with solid Mexican granadillo back and sides, delivering a powerful, dynamic tone with exceptional headroom, strong projection, and remarkable clarity across the tonal spectrum. Its vintage-inspired character is reflected in a range of refined appointments, including binding made of Hawaiian koa, herringbone purfling, and a green abalone rosette. The fretboard, bridge, and headstock overlay are crafted from exotic ziricote, adding a distinctive visual depth and a touch of elegance to the instrument. A flat, vintage-style headstock adorned with the Furch Heritage logo pays tribute to our historic designs and reinforces the authentic aesthetic of early 20th-century instruments. The overall look and feel are further enhanced by our UV-polymerized, resonance-enhancing Full-Pore Vintage Finish with a hand-brushed appearance that evokes the natural patina of traditional guitar designs. The Vintage 3 AV a is available in Dreadnought, Orchestra Model, and OOMs body shapes.
Heritage logo
Vintage Series guitars feature the Furch Heritage logo on the headstock, a distinctive element introduced in 2026, our 45th anniversary year. Inspired by our historic headstock designs, the logo pays homage to our legacy while enhancing the traditional aesthetic of early 20th-century guitars.
Exotic Beauty of Mexican Granadillo
The solid Mexican granadillo back and sides give the instrument a striking visual character, defined by rich color variation and elegant grain patterns. This exotic tonewood not only enhances the guitar’s refined appearance but also contributes to a clear, focused tone with excellent projection and definition.
Discover Your Sound With Individual Soundboard Voicing
Our unique voicing process fine-tunes each soundboard to perfection, resulting in guitars that consistently deliver crystal-clear, harmonically rich tone. This precise adjustment ensures a balanced and dynamic sound across the entire tonal range, allowing your music to truly come alive.
Built to Play, Engineered to Last With Furch CNR System® Active
The Furch CNR System® Active neck design takes our original CNR System® to the next level, offering unparalleled stability and precision for players who demand consistent performance. This innovative design adapts seamlessly to changes in humidity while maintaining perfect playability, ensuring your guitar feels and plays the way you want it to—every time you pick it up. Featuring a dual-action truss rod encased in a rigid carbon structure, the system is further enhanced by a solid-wood expansion element that automatically adjusts the neck angle to maintain consistent string action over time. It minimizes the need for costly, time-consuming neck resets and eliminates maintenance concerns, giving you the freedom to adjust your setup quickly and easily and allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the joy of playing—because that’s what truly matters.
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.
Stylish appointments
The traditional look of the Vintage 3 AV a is enhanced by tasteful, period-inspired details, including green abalone double ring rosette with black & white line, Hawaiian koa body binding and herringbone purfling. These refined elements contribute to the guitar’s authentic vintage character while maintaining a clean and elegant aesthetic.
Excellent machine heads
The Vintage 3 AV a offers excellent tuning stability thanks to Gotoh SE700 Gold Patina machine heads with a 1:15 gear ratio.
White pearl inlay
The fretboard made of exotic ziricote features diamond-shaped white pearl inlays that enhance fingerboard orientation while contributing to the guitar’s refined, elegant appearance.
