Furch Red Pure Gc-SC Grand Auditorium Cutaway with LR Baggs Anthem

The Red Series is the top line of solid-wood guitars from Furch, where no expense is spared in an effort to use the very finest materials and components. Furch Red Pure SR model is made from master grade tonewoods – the soundboard features Sitka spruce and the back and sides are made from cocobolo. This combination lends Furch Red Pure SR guitar a beautifully balanced timbre that is bright and open thanks to the spruce top. Furch Red Pure SR guitar owes its breathtaking appearance to a simple natural design underscored by koa appointments.

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 Furch Red Pure SR guitar is underscored by the fact that both the soundboard and the back plate are individually tuned using the voicing process, our proprietary technology that enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, Furch Red Pure SR guitar has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.

Fitted with LR Baggs Anthem - a revolutionary microphone engineered to faithfully capture the sound of any live performance with the same dynamic parameters as a studio microphone. The TRU•MIC mounts to the underside of the bridge plate and hovers only three millimeters above its surface. This patented mounting system, combined with noise cancellation, allows the microphone to perform as efficiently as an external microphone would in a studio, and maintain a remarkable ability to suppress feedback on stage. The result is a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest amplified sound. The Element pickup is paired with the TRU•MIC to provide solidity and punch for low frequencies. Installing the Anthem is a non-invasive process, which means that no cutting or drilling into the guitar body is necessary. The control panel is attached with adhesive in the soundhole. Apart from volume and microphone trim controls, there are LED lights indicating the remaining battery life.

The stunning appearance of the guitar is underscored by a highly figured Central American ziricote bridge, fingerboard, and headstock overlay. The body, fingerboard, and headstock feature koa binding with a white contrasting line complemented by padauk top plate decoration with black and white line. The soundhole is adorned by a rosette featuring a bold koa ring with a contrasting black and white line. The soundboard of Furch Red Pure SR 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. White pearl side position markers combined with unconventional rectangular fingerboard inlays made from koa improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.

Furch Red Pure SR guitar is protected by the Furch 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.

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.
