Furch Grand Nylon series combines two guitar worlds, the sound and lightness of playing the classical guitar and ergonomic features of a neck of steel string guitars. The GNc 2-SW model has a Sitka spruce soundboard and black walnut back and sides. These tonewoods give the guitar not only a pleasing musical sound, but also a gorgeous natural look. The attractive look of Furch GNc 2-SW guitar is underscored by a rosette featuring double ring with black walnut inlay and body binding made from artificial tortoise.
A time-proven body design and internal bracing pattern translate into an optimal balance of volume, sustain, and dynamics. The premium nature of Furch GNc 2-SW guitar is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, Furch GNc 2-SW guitar has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum. A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup. The guitar has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Schaller Hauser Chrome machine heads with polished ebony buttons.
The instrument features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection. The finish accentuates low frequencies and produces a natural woody sound. The soundboard of Furch GNc 2-SW guitar is protected by a satin 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.
