5:05 I'm the owner of the rosewood OM from Alamo. It was such a standout that we took it home. The dreadnought is spectacular in person! When Cooper said everyone liked it, it's true. The low end is rich and dark in the best way. I play fingerstyle and some strumming and the OM had crisp note definition in the treble with that beautiful low end darkness. We have spruce mahogany and spruce rosewood guitars so this is something sonically different. The neck finish is perfect. No drag when playing. Overall construction is excellent. I'd argue better than a standard series Martin which is a similar price. Love it. It found the right home. ❤ Thanks David for showing it to us. Sorry, not sorry, we got it before Chris and Cooper could record the video.
Beautiful. I am a fingerstylist who plays simple and single notes.. and wow, I loved how the GC sounded. I also love how they are NOT BLINGY. So many high end guitars just put too much "stuff' and bling on them for my taste. The dark is awesome.
At the beginning, I thought the notes were compressed even more than with mahogany. But the strumming really brought the overtones and harmonics together. Great sustain and balance. Beautiful guitar, both aesthetically and sonically. Another perfect showcase, Cooper. How well you two pick these out at NAMM amazes me in all the “sax and drums.”
We were in the San Antonio area due to the eclipse and made a 'pilgrimage' to one of your stores. I played one of the rosewood tops that were pointed out to me and it was interesting. I only used my fingers, no pick, but the sound was really interesting. There were plenty of overtones which didn't surprise me. I think I like it more with a pick now that I heard the demo.
Good afternoon Chris and Cooper- I'm glad I watched this video. Furch definitely made a bold move and it appears to have come to fruition nicely. I'm coming into my 27th year as a player and I often use DADGAD as one of my go-to tunings. I think these guitars would shine in such a tuning, or in DGDGBbD.
I’m a Furch Yellow Master’s Choice Gc-CR owner and as big a Furch fan as possible! I really was skeptical with an all Rosewood guitar even from Furch! Wow, they knocked it out of the park!! I think they’ve got some serious Hogwarts magic going on there!! Great presentation as well from you guys!!
Let's hear them against their more traditional siblings please. I thought they sounded "mellow". I'm not a fan of one-wood guitars, because I think it's better to pair a softwood top with hardwood back & sides, to cover more tonal palette, but these rosewood guitars not only sound good, they also look superb.
Before watching this video, I'm gonna go ahead and predict that this'll sound like a mahogany guitar but warmer and more woodsy sounding Edit: I imagine a denser top would allow for a lighter and more scalloped bracing Edit edit: i didn't expect it to be so chimey 👀
💙👍💯...I REALLY like the sound produced by this guitar....to my ear, it's what the love child of a Yamaha FG9 and a Boucher SG 161 would come out sounding like.
Thick and compressed is about right. I had a chance to play most of their guitars a Huml music in the Czech Republic when it was their classic and modern lines, including an all rosewood model. Did not like it. Took home the equivalent of a 00 with cedar/rosewood which I love to this day.
I have to say Im not a fan. Its rather glassy, zingy, and a little too metalic sounding with too much tap/attack tone, its not smooth but quite brittle and harsh, the tone after the initial attack is interesting and has that complex rosewood overtone quality with lots of sustain but it needs the spruce/cedar to warm up and sweeten the tone whilst smoothing the attack zingyness. I think its something that a few with love but most will not like it. It has a sound that I will find interesting for a few minutes then will get exhausted by fast. I have a Lowden 010 which is a grand sound with loads of sustain but is so smooth sounding that I can play it for hours and not grow weary or bored, that is the beauty of good old cedar topped mahogany.
@@pepmasters-999 Thank you. A _salesman's_ argument, actually. To some people these guitars will seem cheap, because they offer something that others don't. Now, if I spent a lot of money buying this guitar and was so satisfied that I never felt the need to buy another, I might end up spending less than someone who kept buying guitars in their search for the perfect instrument. So, while I agree, they're not cheap, purchase price isn't the whole story.

Rosewood tops!!! Holey smoley. Good for Furch!! Thanks Gents for bringing forward such neighboring sizes with such dramatically different sounds. Wow.
Is it just me or do the sound superb with the blooming single notes and swelling harmonics? Like wow
Sounds good but I second the motion for a comparison between these and their cedar topped counterparts.
Would be useful to hear A/B with the spruce Yellow series too...
Nice Guitars. Glad to see you guys survived the storms.
Glad to see this happening!
I love the 👓, 🤓😎.
No pun intended.
Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland
The dreadnaught sounds phenomenal

These are furchin gorgeous!
Pretty guitars and new music. Now that’s a good Saturday 🎸
For me it was love at first strum!

Both are very rich and full sounding instruments.
Sounds exactly how I had imagined.
I’ll take them!
Any 12 strings in these models
What kind of sound profile would you get from a red cedar top with rosewood back sides and vice versa?
"Can Furch make it work?" Great internal rhyme.
Where did the OM fit in sound?
Are the tops made out of one piece?
For some reason, to my ear…all rose wood gives the guitar a boxy reflective sound that I hear in an all HPL guitar. Sounds like it’s not breathing

Amazing guitars. Really want to ditch my BE k24ce for these. Unfortunately the Furch cases look ugly hahaa..

Hi all. Crashing the Furch talk with a Yamaha question. Any thoughts on an FS3 or 5 vs an LS16?

"Outline dots" inlays- do you mean circles? lol
Did Cooper Punch Tony Polecastro in the beard and steal his glasses?😮

I think this would be exceptional in an 8 or 9 string dread option
Are these cheap?
Once the technical argument is won, price is secondary. These guitars will undoubtedly have their supporters, for whom the price is right.
@1man1guitarletsgo
A politician's answer. The question was are they cheap. The answer is no.

Furch .. just imagine they would write it foorch, okay? Like tool, fool, etc...
Bland, The Guitar has lost the top and bottom.
These rosewood guitars don't have much midrange. Sounds like it would be good for Celtic music but not much else.
very expensive guitars with all solid rosewood but not really perfect stone
