A Furch "Blue" Dreadnought Designed for Modern Playing
This Furch Blue Dreadnought Cutaway CM electro-acoustic guitar stays true to the spirit of traditional dreadnoughts, with a decidedly contemporary approach: easy access to the upper frets thanks to the cutaway and discreet, efficient electronics to transition seamlessly from living room to stage. The satin "open pore" finish highlights the wood's feel and promotes a lively guitar sensation under the hand.
For Whom and Which Styles
Intended for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a high-end, versatile acoustic, this electro-acoustic excels in folk, pop, songwriting, pick accompaniment, and fingerstyle. The dreadnought body provides presence in a mix, while the cutaway secures upper-neck passages (solos, melodies, arrangements).
Sound
The solid cedar top favors a soft and immediate attack with beautiful harmonic richness: ideal for nuances and dynamics in fingerstyle playing. The solid African mahogany back and sides reinforce a singing, woody midrange while maintaining clear chord articulation. When amplified, the LR Baggs Element Active System delivers a natural and direct sound, with convenient Volume and Tone controls to quickly adjust presence and brightness according to the venue or PA system.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Shipped with Elixir Ph-Bz 12-53 strings installed, this guitar naturally accepts any set of phosphor bronze acoustic strings in 12-53 gauge to preserve the original balance (projection, sustain, and comfort). For stage use, a strap and a tuner are simple and effective additions, with no particular compatibility constraints.
