We’ve been keeping a close and admiring eye on the acoustics coming out of the Furch factory in the Czech Republic recently, and 2022 sees the release of two new models: the Yellow Deluxe and Blue Deluxe.

Both feature innovative front and rear player comfort bevels for those extended playing sessions. Why innovative? Because the bevels themselves have been created via the use of 3D printing: “We chose 3D printing mainly because of its accuracy and flexibility,” Petr Furch, CEO of Furch Guitars told us.

“Using a special high-resolution 3D printer, we are able to apply individually cured layers of UV-activated liquid in the desired shape with an accuracy of up to 15 thousandths of a millimeter.”

Both guitars share Grand Auditorium body dimensions, the Yellow Deluxe is available with spruce or cedar tops and Indian rosewood backs and sides, whereas the Blue Deluxe features either spruce/walnut or cedar/mahogany.
