Furch Guitars was founded in 1981 by bluegrass musicians in what was then Czechoslovakia! This is a trending brand used by a stellar lineup of artists including Rintaro Okazaki, Isato Nakagawa, Masaaki Kishibe, and UK (MOROHA)! Furch, one of Europe's leading brands, is beloved primarily by fingerstyle guitarists. Its meticulous craftsmanship, beautiful finish, refined sound, and smooth playability make it a truly exceptional guitar, with plenty of reasons why it's used by so many musicians. This "Yellow Gc-CR" is a grand auditorium cutaway style guitar from Furch Guitars' classic Yellow series (formerly the 23 series)! The top wood is AAA grade Western Red Cedar, and the sides and back are made of AA grade Indian Rosewood. The combination of the auditorium body, which offers excellent volume balance and deep bass, and the cedar top, which features a deep and mellow sound, makes this guitar particularly recommended for the fingerstyle playing that is currently popular. With excellent note separation, this guitar is ideal for players who want to bring out the bassline or melody. Although the nut width is a relatively wide 45mm, the exceptional playability achieved by the thin neck shape has garnered support from many players. Furthermore, the meticulous design, including the use of slender abalone in the rosette, eclipse-type position markers, and tortoiseshell-patterned binding and bridge pins, creates an elegant and refined European atmosphere. Experience the unique European flair that sets it apart from American guitars! ◆CNR System Active (Composite Neck Reinforcement System)◆ This model is equipped with Furch's proprietary "CNR System Active (Composite Neck Reinforcement System)". This is an innovative neck design that updates the existing CNR neck system. Its most notable feature is the ability to adjust the neck angle using a string height adjustment bolt located on the neck block, allowing for string height adjustments without having to file down the saddle. Furthermore, the improved neck rigidity and stability compared to the previous system allow for longer-term playability and stability. *To safely adjust the neck angle using this bolt, specialized tools and the skills of a qualified technician are required.
