Red Deluxe LI a
The Red Deluxe LI is the proverbial icing on the cake in our portfolio. This exceptional instrument pairs premium Alpine spruce for the soundboard with Malaysian blackwood for the back and sides, a tonewood combination that delivers a beautifully rich and versatile sound with clear, open highs and a warm, complex low end. Both soundboards are individually voiced and enhanced by the ergonomic Bevel Duo, crafted from koa, to ensure maximum comfort during extended play. Its refined look is brought to life by a resonance-enhancing Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish and a host of elegant appointments, including koa binding, an abalone rosette, abalone purfling, and pearl Roman numeral fretboard inlays. The guitar is protected by a durable Furch T-Line hard shell case designed to withstand the demands of travel and performance.
Discover Your True Sound With Furch’s Voicing Process
Our unique voicing process fine-tunes each top and back soundboard to perfection, resulting in guitars that 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.
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.
Bevel Duo for extra comfort
The ergonomic Bevel Duo feature, comprised of two bevels – one in front, at the forearm and one in the rear, at the rib position, provides a significant increase in player comfort and also enhances the exclusive appearance of the instrument. Bevel Duo is made from koa.
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.
Beauty of exotic wood
The luxurious look of the Red Deluxe LI is underscored by a figured ziricote bridge, fretboard, and headstock overlay. The body, fretboard, and headstock feature koa binding with a white contrasting line. Koa was also used on a tail decoration and a premium rosette with abalone inlay.
Transparent protection
The soundboard is protected by a transparent pickguard that allows the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. The pickguard is designed to have no effect on the tonal qualities of the soundboard.
Pearl fretboard inlay
The fretboard of the Red Deluxe LI is decorated with pearl inlays of Roman numerals, which together with the side linear position marks also help to increase the visibility of the individual positions.
Excellent machine heads
The guitar 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.
Highly durable Furch T-Line Case
Maximum protection for your instrument during transport and storage is ensured by the highly durable Furch T-Line Case. Its timeless design combines elegant lines with high-quality, reliable hardware. The thermoformed shell, reinforced with rigid polyurethane foam, offers the perfect balance of strength and light weight, while the luxurious long-feather cloth interior is precisely molded to the guitar, protecting it against impacts and changing environmental conditions.
