This luxurious and dynamic acoustic is an ideal choice for the stage or studio

Czech Republic-based manufacturer Furch Guitars has quietly worked its way to the top of the acoustic guitar game in the last couple of years, with a number of solid builds and game-changing designs that put the company in the same conversation as the greats. 

One of the best of these recent top-shelf instruments is the appropriately-named Blue Master’s Choice.

This Grand Auditorium-shaped acoustic features a Western red cedar soundboard, African mahogany back and sides, a walnut double ring rosette and artificial tortoise body binding.

Though all those distinct elements give the guitar a uniquely elegant appearance, the Blue Master’s Choice really shines sonically, with Furch’s proprietary soundboard voicing and an LR Baggs Stagepro Element system, complete with a side-mounted preamp and tuner.

When you put all that together, you get a luxurious acoustic packed with rich, resonant tone and a towering low end that will shine on stage or in the studio.
