Furch GNc 4-CR EAS Cedar and Rosewood Grand Nylon with LR Baggs EAS #121216

The Furch Grand Nylon series combines two guitar worlds, the sound and lightness of playing the classical guitar and ergonomic features of a neck of steel string guitars. The GNc 4-CR has a cedar soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides. These tonewoods give the guitar not only a pleasing musical sound, but also a gorgeous natural look. A time-proven body design and internal bracing pattern translate into an optimal balance of volume, sustain, and dynamics. 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. The GNc 4-CR is no fluke. Unique voicing process The premium nature of the GNc 4-CR 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 GNc 4-CR has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum. Resonance enhancing finish The instrument is protected by our 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. Attractive look The attractive look of the GNc 4-CR is underscored by faux tortoise used for body binding and headstock inlays. Furch CNR System® Neck Design A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup. 1. A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions. 2. A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor of essential importance for playability. 3. A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body. Transparent protection The soundboard of the GNc 4-CR 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. Headstock appointments The headstock is adorned with a gorgeous square figure with mother-of-pearl and faux tortoise inlays. High-rigidity Hiscox case 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.
