A "Vintage 2" OM: Furch Elegance Serving Modern Playing
With the Vintage 2 OM Cutaway OMc, Furch revisits traditional acoustic aesthetics through a subtly aged satin Vintage Hand-Brushed finish, enhanced with refined details: mother-of-pearl inlays, wood purflings, and premium headstock veneer. This "vintage" approach goes beyond looks: it is also expressed in the voicing, designed to offer an organic feel and natural projection while maintaining the precision expected from a modern OM.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive, balanced instrument with excellent clarity in the mix. The Orchestra format excels in fingerstyle, solo arrangements, and delicate picking, while remaining very convincing in accompaniment thanks to its clarity and definition. The cutaway will appeal to musicians exploring the upper register and wanting to keep their left hand free up to the highest frets.
Sound
The AAA solid Sitka spruce top provides attack, precision, and a generous dynamic range: ideal for conveying touch variations, from delicate playing to stronger attacks. The AAA solid rosewood back and sides enrich the spectrum with deep basses, bright trebles, and great harmonic complexity, while maintaining very clean note separation. The Vintage voicing favors a warm and nuanced response, with balanced projection typical of OMs, excellent for solo playing as well as expressive accompaniment. Plugged in, the L R Baggs EAS-VTC delivers a natural and articulate sound, suited for acoustic stages where transparency and control are essential.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes factory-strung with Elixir Ph-Bz 12-53: you can stick with this gauge to preserve the instrument's balance and response, or choose 12-53 phosphor bronze sets if you want a similar feel and projection.
