The Orange SR is a top-quality instrument made from premium tonewoods. The soundboard is made from high-grade Sitka spruce, and the back and sides feature high-quality Indian rosewood. Appointments are crafted from redheart. Body binding is made from American maple, and the fingerboard is adorned by white pearl thin Eclipse circles. High-grade tonewoods and exclusive appointments translate into a fine sounding instrument with stunning look. Thanks to a rich and balanced sound enhanced by Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish, the Orange SR is a versatile multipurpose instrument.
The attractive look of the Orange SR is underscored by body, headstock, and fingerboard binding made from American maple, and a top adorned by redheart purfling with black and white line. Redheart was also used on a single-ring rosette. Black side position dots combined with flower-shaped pearl fingerboard inlays improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.
The soundboard of the guitar 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.
The Orange SR 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.
The instrument is protected by Furch’s proprietary Full-Pore High-Gloss Finish, which has been developed to enhance the guitar’s tonal qualities. The finish consists of an ultrathin layer of highly resistant lacquer that provides excellent surface protection and accentuates the structure of the wood at the same time.
Sound is the most important consideration for Furch guitars. Their excellent acoustic qualities are the result of state-of-the art technologies, proprietary production processes and precision craftsmanship combined with the use of the best available tonewoods.
The premium nature of the Orange SR is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Orange SR 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.
Maximum protection during transport is provided by a high-rigidity Hiscox case with polyurethane insulating foam that shields the instrument from changes in external climatic conditions.
