Here for sale we have a Furch Vintage Pure OM-SM acoustic guitar in Open-Pore Satin Natural finish. Furch is a high-quality guitar brand from the Czech Republic, with roots going back as far as the '70s. František Furch, a metalworker, began making instruments in the late '70s due to their scarcity in socialist Czechoslovakia. He made his first guitar in '81, and after a positive response continued to craft instruments from his garage. Due to the strict prohibition of private businesses by the communist regime, he remained in his garage until the fall of communism in 1989 when he was able to move to a small factory space. Since then the company has grown into a well renowned guitar brand the world over, known for exceptional quality, solid wood construction and innovative design. 
 
Built in the Czech Republic in 2024, this guitar consists of a AA Solid Sitka Spruce top, AA African Mahogany back and sides, an African Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Gotoh SE700 Nickel patina tuners, a TUSQ nut, Artificial Tortoise binding and pickguard, and an Ebony bridge. 
 
The African Mahogany neck plays fantastically, with the Furch Soft V profile filling the hand nicely for a substantial grip whilst remaining slim enough for articulate playing. The V profile is often overlooked these days, so it's great to see that Furch are using this highly ergonomic and comfortable profile on its contemporary instruments. The Open-Pore Satin Natural finish to the rear of the neck is nicely tactile under the thumb and helps with smooth navigation of the 25.59" scale. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant to the touch and adds a real sense of luxury to the playing experience, and with its 15.748" radius offers a flat and consistent surface in any register. 
 
The voice of the Furch Vintage Pure OM-SM is warm and rich thanks to the all-solid construction and fine tone woods that have been selected. The African Mahogany back and sides add a real depth to the sound, with warm lows that refrain from being too soft to deliver plenty of detail. The mid range is open and clear, whilst the AA Sitka Spruce top provides an unpronounced but accurate treble response that enhances the overall warm tone of the instrument. The OM body design offers a supremely well-balanced tone, with plenty of warm, accurate bass response and a sparkling treble response which beautifully colours every note played on the instrument.
