Blue Performance EM
The Blue Performance EM is crafted from carefully selected tonewoods that produce a beautiful tone across the entire sonic range, with crisp highs and pronounced bass frequencies. The soundboard is made of Engelmann spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from African mahogany. Both plates are enhanced by the Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, providing maximum comfort even during prolonged play. The Blue Performance EM’s minimalist beauty is further highlighted by its Open-Pore Finish and a series of refined dark-colored appointments, including a double-ring rosette with black walnut inlay, black body binding, and a black pickguard. The guitar features the innovative Booster Soundport resonator, which enhances sound projection and delivers clearer, more resonant tone directly to the player for an immersive experience.
Experience Clearer, Louder, and More Resonant Sound With the Furch Booster Soundport
The Booster Soundport revolutionizes your playing experience by enhancing your guitar’s sound projection and body resonance. This innovative feature reduces internal air pressure within the guitar’s body, allowing the top board to move more freely and produce a stronger, fuller sound with the same strumming effort. Strategically positioned to direct sound towards you, the player, it ensures you hear your music as clearly and richly as your audience, creating an immersive and authentic performance experience every time you play. Discover the Furch Booster Soundport and unlock the full potential of your music.
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.
Bevel Duo for extra comfort
The black Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, consisting of two bevels—one at the forearm and one at the rib position—offers a significant boost in player comfort while also enhancing the instrument’s distinctive appearance. By utilizing modern 3D printing technology, we are able to craft the Bevel Duo with maximum precision.
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.
Stylish dark appointments
The soundboard of the Blue Performance EM is elegantly adorned with a double-ring rosette featuring a black walnut inlay. Black accents are also featured on the body binding and pickguard, adding to the guitar’s sleek, refined look.
Pearl position markers
The ebony fretboard is embellished with pearl front dot and side linear position markers, enhancing fretboard orientation while adding to the guitar’s elegant appearance.
