I have blue d-sa, green om-sm and orange gc-sr. That's why (or because?) I'm convinced that what you do, you do with the goal of being the best. And you do it well.

I bought one of these 4 months ago, like yours, no sun burst. This guitar just gets better as time goes by. Incredible guitars. Wonderful sound.

Went to a guitar store yesterday convinced I was going to buy a Taylor. Played a Furch and swooned with the sound. Now the owner of a MC Red Gc-SR. Found this review after the purchase as I wanted to learn more. Your playing is gorgeous. Thanks for this video. Loved hearing your thoughts especially around guitar innovation.

Beautiful guitar - enjoy! I had a similar experience in 2013 when gong to buy a Martin OM and was blown away by Furch (Stonebridge), and purchased an OM35 - which today would be a Red Series. It is still my main acoustic and I have never looked back...I am looking ahead to buying my 3rd Furch. Cheers.

I own a yellow masters choice grand auditorium, a red pure dreadnaught rosewood and sitka and a red deluxe cocobolo! And they all sound insanely gorgeous and different yet that same furch unique sound. Can tell a furch a mile away :)

I have played just about every top end guitar in 2 years in different shops and i cannot find a better playing guitar than a Furch, the neck and sound are something else, i have the blue grand auditorium and love it, no its not top of the range but the sound is enough for a 40 year player cheers.

ALSO, if you come across Stonebridge guitars, they are the early American versions of Furch and they are equally wonderful, and a solid deal.

Great video Jeremy, really appreciate it. I have that exact model on order for myself, Red Masters Choice Sunburst. At present I am playing a Furch Little Jane LTD-LC and a Yellow OOM-CR. Looking forward to seeing you play more Furch Guitars.

This guitar is incredibly clear and balanced. Projects well, and sounds incredible mic’d. There are so many great guitars these days!!

the sound of the bend on the b string at 6:48 is magical

I bought the Taylor 114ce in Germany a couple of months ago. I even paid extra money for fine-tuning it. After it was delivered to me, I was disappointed. I returned it back and got my money back. I was afraid to order online. So drove about 2 hours near Munich, aiming for Furch Yellow, but ended up with Blue MC CE. Seriously, it sounds better and better. Today a guy who knows me buying guitars asked if I am selling my Furch. I said no. It stays with me. Best regards from Salzburg, Austria.

I bought a Furch Blue Plus GC-CM in 2020. I love everything about it, Cedar Mahogany hits differently, the sound is so clean and full. Everyone that hears it can't believe the sound, it's just so attractive. Loved the video, shout-out to the builders trying hard to gain respect from customers by pure quality

How would you compare it to the yellow with cedar-rosewood?

Thanks Jeremy! I bought the sibling to that guitar, the Red Pure GC-SR (Sitka/Rosewood). I’ve had it for about 3 months now and it hasn’t even needed an adjustment.. not even after putting .013 Strings. I feel like It’s a perfect guitar. Very modern yet somehow sounds and feels like an old great vintage jewel of an instrument. How is it that they’re building these guitars so innovative and so well made and sound and play this good? She’s unique and just shockingly great every time I pick her up. I’m so lucky to have mine.. really.

Well thanks to you, and after a lot of research I purchased the Yellow Master's Choice, incredible!! I found your channel when I was actually researching Breedlove Premier Concert Redwood-Rosewood guitars. I almost passed by your initial Furch video but you're enthusiasm had me intrigued. I purchased my guitar at Elderly Instruments in Lansing Michigan and I was fortunate that they had the Breedlove Premier Concert available that I thought was my dream guitar. Make no mistake, the Breedlove Premier is a fabulous instrument, and I would love to also have one of those!! I have a lower price Breedlove, the ECO Discovery S Concert Cedar-African Mahogany, and I love that guitar! But since I did have to make a choice, when I played them back-to-back, the Furch had that extra something special in the sound that spoke to me. Thanks again Jeremy!!

Fantastic choice!! Think I’d have chosen the same!!

i have said it before, when you really love a guitar, your playing is so much better, crisper, more focused! your enjoying it! i was first made aware of these a few years ago by Richard's guitars Uk! and he raved about them! he is a very unorthodox individual! and has had a lot of flack, but the guy seems genuine and won't let a guitar leave his store unless it plays the best it can! and if that means his tech has to spend a couple of hours sorting things out, so be it! what does a tech cost an hour £40-50 maybe? but even on a budget £300-400 guitar still gets sorted! kudos to him, and his team! Keep educating us Jeremy! the big brand names are not always just what your looking for, but when you find it, you know!!!

Furch is just as good as anyone else. I’ve been eyeing one of the walnut b/s models but can’t convince myself to spend the money on one.

I just the purchased the Furch Red Master Series Gc sr from a local dealer : Brand New . I get it tomorrow .No cross country journey, just 8 miles across town here in San Diego CA. I live 8 miles from Taylors Main Headquarters/Factory . These are better than Taylors and I have owned many Taylor 114’s to 914’s . Bob Taylor is a good man doing wonderful things but this is. Free Enterprise at its’ best : Driving up quality rather than driving down quality!

What a BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT AND TUNE (s)!!!! Just the sound I dream a guitar should sound like for the kind of music I would want to play!

Keep up the great videos, thanks

I love Furch guitars. I bought my 3 Furch 3 years ago.

Those sounds are smooth as butter. I'll have to save a lot of nickels to afford that one! They also make a travel guitar that is super cool.

Nice!

So glad you like em too! I own a 22 year old Furch D21 SR, and a new Furch blue OM all mahogany. Both incredible sound machines. I love how they tune their tops, and even the backs on higher end guitars. I love how they put new techniques on all their guitars, not just the more expensive ones. For me it's Furch all the way. Better than Tailor and even Martin. And they look stunning. So beautiful. Art pieces.

Sounds great. I own a Norman B20 handmade in Quebec Canada. I honestly thought you were playing mine.

Beautiful guitar, sounds great too. I have a Garrison, she’s been with me almost 20 years. Garrisons have a carbon fibre bracing/frame system that is very strong but helps project the sound instead of deadening it. Gibson bought them and closed the factory, I guess they didn’t like the competition from a little Canadian company. I’ve played lots of guitars but she’s the only acoustic I love. She feels like a part of me and I would never be able to part with her.

That's the one i thought signed best when you visited! Congrats!

I agree 110% with you on the pickup setup & cutting a hole in the side. I don't like the look personally. Luckily your nut issue is easily fixed, but yeah, why didn't they do that during manufacturing. You can't be the only one who has noticed that. Though a quick google & I found nothing. I've been seeing others playing a Furch and they have definitely got my attention. Thanks for this!

With the rod that is driven into the heel, it would be interesting to see if the heel would crack over time. or because a lot of mass has been removed, if it would be more likely to be damaged if it gets bumped.

Hi Jeremy, I couldn’t agree more about the bolt-on neck. I had a 000 custom build from 12th Root Guitars out of Colorado. Robert Schneider is the owner/luthier. You can see mine, the PRC, on his website. He mentions a client in Texas, and that would be me. I had never owned a bolt-on neck guitar before, but he won me over to try it. I’m a fan now.

I have a 2017 millennium series that I snagged for 1800, it was 3k brand new, absolutely astounding, handles any open tuning I throw at it, the tone is so deep and glassy at the same time. This company is on par with American builders that price their guitars upwards of 5 to 10k. Their attention to detail is insane, hold onto this guitar as long as you can because it is only going to continue to open up.

PS. and love that your playing just gets better and better...

I also just tried a Furch for the first time about a month ago. Elderly had about 8 Furch models on the wall to try. I really, really liked the Yellow MC (which you played in the last vid). I compared it to several Martins, Taylors, and Breedloves, several much more expensive than the Yellow MC, and felt like it was no contest. However, like you, I am a little turned off by the side-mounted electronics. I had my own electronics preference, and didn't know how I was going to deal with the hole in the side of the guitar. The Master's Choice line is a bundled set of features at a nice price, which I'm guessing is why so many stores tend to order them. Instead, I purchased a Furch Vintage 2. While I liked the look of the Yellow MC (except for the side electronics) better, the Vintage 2 was cheaper, and had no electronics. The same AAA-grade, custom-tuned Sitka top over the solid Rosewood, and played and felt just as good. Hopefully you can do a video on Furch's Vintage line soon!

Great review of Furch! I am new to this brand and recently bought a yellow series g cr. Fantastic sound! Unfortunately it was damaged in shipping so had to send back. Cannot wait to get new one. Great guitars! Thanks for the video!

Love the channel. I have a $800 brand new, Alvarez OM 60C that inspires me way beyond my taylor or gibson acoustic. The a string tuner was drilled a little un even, that makes it a little harder to tune, but a small cost would fix it. I cant say enough about Alvarez,and there Chinese Masterworks series. I played the dreadnaught, and it shocked me how good it was for the money. The African Mahogany is beautiful. I played and had a budgit to afford a Martin Clapton OM, but walked with the Alvarez. I always want to support American companys, but better is better for me!

You picked the same two models as I did (me over headphones). They seem to have to more low end bite than the equivalent Taylors. Can’t beat the Gotoh 510s. Hopefully , they maintain quality over production levels in the future.

Also, Jeremy mentioned "R. Taylor guitars", Bob Taylor, co-founder of Taylor guitar's "boutique brand". That got me hunting KZread for some sound clips and now the Taylor guitar company is even more sad to me than before, because R. Taylor guitars sound really good. Meaning Bob Taylor knows how to prioritize tone quality for builds when he want to. 900 series Taylor's don't sound all that different than 300 series Taylor's, it's "that Taylor sound" which some love, but it's a sound that's a product of a manufacturing process that helps Taylor maximize margins.

0:32 Man I love that song!! I'm sorta new to Isbells music but the first time I heard that song I immediately learned to play it.. and forgive me for saying but I really like Morgan Wallens version just a smidge better. Lol.. I like that Morgan plays that song in a little bit lower key.. Same chords but lower key. I think Isabell capos on 2 (album) and live sometimes capos on 3.. Morgan is tuned down half step and capos on 1 so basically he plays it in Standard.. just easier for me to sing in that lower key. Anyway I'd love to check out a Furch Guitar. I've only had one guitar with a Cedar top but it had Mahogany B&S..

Rainbow isn't *always* above Red; it's a custom shop, but you can specify fairly basic appointments (e.g. satin finish) or very luxurious ones. You can also specify body shapes that aren't available off-the-peg, such as super-jumbo (which used to be a standard from them, maybe before they introduced the grand audi) and round-shoulder. But it's an expensive option.
