I bought this guitar about 1.5 months ago. There is definitely a difference compared to Sitka. I like it, because it doesn’t sound like glass chattering when strummed heavier, I also notice a little richer, warmer, articulated like you said. On the other hand it is not as bright and a little less volume than Sitka spruce. I have a 4 year old guitar with cedar top and it took about 3 years to open up. But when it did “ what a pleasant surprise” This cedar Dreadnought is actually hard to come by. Most guitar companies out there actually don’t make it. Martin doesn’t make them. Taylor made them a few years back. But, it was GA and not the Dreadnought. It is hard to think of a company that makes them.
Hello from France 😊 🇫🇷 For my part, I am going to place my order in a few days and I hesitate between the green and yellow series but I am thinking of going on the green series. OM-SR (left-handed model) I hesitated with: OM-CR but I was told that the cedar was very fragile ... so it bothers me a bit ... Okay, I only play with my fingers (fingerstyle) so I think it wouldn't be too much of a problem or damage if I took: cedar / rosewood. it is true that the spruce is very "metallic" "its clear" "its treble" but also very dynamic. and the cedar is warmer, smoother and sound a bit richer but less projection. it's difficult to make a choice I still hesitate in the end .. 😱😕 what to do .... 🤔 😔
I always wondered what a good cedar topped dread would sound like. It wouldn't be my number one bluegrass cannon (though it sounded surprisingly great flatpicked, it reminds me of a good D-18), but it could be a fantastic "everything else" guitar. Love that airy, midrangey sound with the articulation of cedar and the reverb & overtones of rosewood. I had an old Taylor 714 that sounded similar, but this has everything that guitar had and much more.
Hi Doug, really good to see such good representation for Furch guitars in the US from you. Good job and good luck to you.

Very nice review. How much did this guitar sell for? Im looking for a Furch on your reverb site
