This Violet Deluxe Grand Auditorium Cutaway represents Furch’s sound philosophy and commitment to workmanship. The soundboard of this instrument is made from carefully selected Sitka spruce. The back and sides are from African mahogany. This combination gives the guitar a perfectly balanced sound with clear highs, warm bass and long-lasting sustain. It is ideal for delicate fingerstyle as well as more aggressive flatpicking or strumming. The body of the instrument is treated with an open-pore finish, which enhances the natural sound and appearance of the quality materials. Long-lasting, highly precise setting for excellent playability is achieved with Furch’s advanced Composite Neck Reinforcement (CNR) System.

Bevel Duo for extra comfort

The Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, comprised of two bevels – one in front, at the forearm and one in the rear, at the rib position, provides a significant increase in player comfort and also enhances the exclusive appearance of the instrument. Furch uses modern 3D printing technology during its creation which allows them to manufacture it with maximum precision.

Remarkable sound

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.

Unique voicing process

The premium nature of the Violet Deluxe SM is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Violet Deluxe SM has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.

Open-Pore Finish

The instrument features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection.

Furch CNR System

Given that the neck is one of the most important components of a guitar, devising a neck design offering maximum stability has been a great challenge throughout the history of guitar building. Following many years of research and development, we are proud to introduce the Furch CNR System® (Composite Neck Reinforcement), a revolutionary neck design that relies on state-of-the-art materials to bring unmatched stability thanks to which the neck has 90% higher resistance to deformations caused by string tension and changes in humidity compared to traditional neck designs.

The Furch CNR System® consists of an adjustable truss rod placed inside a carbon casing. Combined with a high-precision manufacturing process, the innovative design translates into unparalleled stability of the neck joint and the neck along its entire length as well as supreme accuracy of neck relief adjustment. Because it is very rigid, the neck joint of Furch guitars does not need heavy reinforcements, which makes it much lighter than traditional designs. In addition, the absence of reinforcing components allows a larger area of the soundboard to resonate freely and produce better sound. All parts of the Furch CNR System are invisibly integrated into the neck.

Acoustic Gig Bag

The violet series guitar is delivered in the premium Furch Gig Bag with reinforced walls, providing versatile carrying options over the shoulder, by hand, or as a backpack.
