A Vintage 2 Series OM: The "Retro" Spirit Serving Modern Precision
Within the Furch range, the Vintage 2 series highlights a warm aesthetic and lutherie choices focused on expressiveness. The Vintage 2 OM-SR follows this thread with a satin Vintage Hand-Brushed finish, refined details (mother-of-pearl inlays, wood purflings, headstock veneer), and a construction designed to enhance nuanced playing. The OM format remains a staple for those seeking an instrument that is both balanced and demanding, equally convincing in solo performance and studio recording.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for precise response and a wide palette of nuances. The 45 mm nut width (45 mm / 1.77") provides ease for fingerpicking, enriched chords, and complex voicings while maintaining a sense of control. It excels in fingerstyle, folk, acoustic pop, delicate accompaniment, open tuning arrangements, and studio contexts where note-by-note definition makes the difference.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a clear attack, a great dynamic range, and clarity that highlights right-hand articulations. The solid rosewood (back and sides) enhances depth, harmonic complexity, and note sustain, with full basses and silky highs without sacrificing clarity. The Orchestra Model format contributes to a very controlled balance between lows, mids, and highs, with precise projection and ideal voice separation for arrangements. The "Vintage" voicing supports expressive playing: the guitar easily responds to attack variations while maintaining an open and refined character. When amplified, the LR Baggs EAS-VTC aims for a natural and musical sound, convenient for transitioning from stage to recording without losing the instrument's acoustic identity.
