@@AlamoMusic I love this new young man. He just seems sweet and he plays AMAZINGLY in some of these videos, like this one - seemingly can play anything. He just blew me away in another video I just watched of him reviewing a martin modern deluxe. He always incentivizes me to pull my martin out of the case and practice!!
Both of my Furch guitars, a 6 and a 12 string, have the cedar top. Incredible tone and because of the bracing you really can't overwhelm them. I am a fingerstyle soloist and their instruments are the best in the market, true performers for reasonable price for the quality you get. Highly recommended
That's a great sounding guitar. The bass sounds 'deep and smooth' as opposed to punchy. Very musical and the note definition, responsiveness and intonation sound spot on. I want one.
Very nice low and crispy high and the nut width is what I am looking for, and it is very rare for nylon guitars. Cider top is the top choice for classical guitars. It brings out the mellower and warmer sound of the classical guitarist.
Wow! That is a great sounding nylon string. Not muddy like a lot of them. Nice clear tones from bass to treble. Misc playing Chris. Same for you as always Cooper. I had aTaylor NS-42 when they first came out but this one gives the Taylor a run for the money.
I’m so sorry Chris but even your demo is really great, Cooper stole my soul with his. Instantly makes me want to buy the exact same guitar. Of course I know I don’t deserve it beeing a very poor guitarist for decades. Please tell us what is the track he plays. I keep coming back to listen to it when I want a little happyness in my mind. Absolutely brilliant !
You know, it is astonishing that their nylon still sound like a furch! IMO everyone should own a furch.. theres about 100 reasons to buy one, there isn’t a single bad thing about furch. Their stability is insane. I just played a gig yesterday that was outside, i live in Maine and its in the 40s right now and i tuned my yellow masters choice ONCE and it never came out of tune in 4 hours! I would love to get one of these.
I see you guys still a little struggle with the pronunciation of the name Furch. It doesn't matter too much, but if you want to hear, how we pronounce it here in Czech Republic, listen to this (this dutch guy is spot on with the first form you will hear): ua-cam.com/video/MGmBPW7c2Tg/v-deo.html Anyway, very nice review! ;-)
Sounds beautiful! I’ve been using ball-end classical strings on a 1976 Eko Ranger 6 dreadnaught…. and it sounds and feels glorious… but I might get tempted to upgrade….
I play mostly classical. It doesn't have to be stodgy, if you're looking to give it a shot check out some modern composers: Andrew York, Yenne Lee, Claudia Montero. Lots of good stuff out there.
Thanks for all of your great videos. I've reached the age where steel strings are killing my finger tips, so I recently purchased an Ibanez GA34. It's supposed to be sort of a crossover guitar, but I'm really having a hard time with the much less string tension. I've tried adjusting my technique and adjusting the truss rod just a bit, but nothing helps. I'm wondering if maybe a different crossover brand might be different? Any reply would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Unfortunately we sold out of these and are waiting on more to come in, here's the link to our site though: www.alamomusic.com/furch-gnc-2-cw-cedar-walnut-acoustic-electric-guitar-w-eas-vtc-nylon-pickup/
I like the channel and the great information, but when a non - classical guitarist demonstrates the sound of a classical guitar, it makes a huge difference. It doesn’t give a good representation of the quality of the instrument.
As a major Taylor guitar dealer, how do you all justify offering Furch guitars which cosmetically, throughout their line up practically copy Taylor? Headstock, Bridge, and they even classify as the Grand Auditorium shape which Taylor created. In relation to a "Nylon" guitar for a steel string player, while Gibson Chet Atkins came first, Taylor advanced this concept and continue to sit at the top - well past and better than that Furch you presented. In regards to Czech craftsmanship... historically they're industrial. Edit Add: For me it's about Infringement, If Furch were an American company, Taylor could have easily sued and blocked the release and sale of these instruments, however, being covered under the EU, the legal enforcement would be lengthy and costly. So while legal, it certainly is not ethical.
Furch/Stonebridge guitars have a wider range of wood combinations/body shapes that they offer compared to Taylor guitars. With Taylor, you know what you’re getting. Spruce/Mahogany or Koa tops with Rosewood/Mahogany/Koa/Ovankol or Maple BnS. Their body sizes are on the medium to smaller end. Feel is smooth and comfortable for the new player. Sound is treble focus and often ringing. Now for Furch on the other hand, you could end up with tips like Spruce/Cedar/Sinker Redwood/ Mahogany, and BnS like Rosewood/ Cocobolo/ Blackwood / Maccassar Ebony or Maple. These 2 guitar makers have Very different tones, and suit different players. Taylor’s focus is the modern day soft rocker / singer/ songwriter. Furch’s focus was typically the classical or flamenca finger style player. Many world champions or finger style typically have used Furch guitars. But both brands are trying to branch out into other markets. So it’s a good time for any player to pick one up and try them out.
By this token if you're not martin/gibson/Taylor then don't bother. Luckily not many people buy into that sentiment, and the guitar market is better off for it; as challenger brands battle with the legacy US brands the customer is the winner. With regards to Czech craftsmanship, plenty of people (myself included) can make that evaluation for themselves, having actually tried these brands side-by-side.
Any dealer just needs to sell guitars that They feel that their customers would like. If YOU as the dealer, wouldn’t play a certain brand of guitar, then why sell it? Heartbreaker Guitars sell both Taylor’s and Furch, and they continue to do so, because both brands offer very different sounds.
One is expensive Americana the other is affordable anti-communist innovation. If you want to see 'Czech craftsmanship' (whatever that is that presumably stops on the border of Germany), Google the Prague astronomical clock.
Chris, Cooper, thanks for checking our guitar! And thank you all for very positive comments. They are really motivating 🙏🏻
Thanks for making great instruments! Always happy to see more Furch come into the store.
@@AlamoMusic Thank you 💛

I just purchased this guitar from you guys. Can't wait to get it! I really enjoy the content you guys put out. Thanks

love the colors in this video. it is visually stimulating and highlights the guitar. makes me want to buy!
The young dude (bouth :) ) is an amaziing player! Wonderfull Guitar, nice playing - thank you. Greetings from Germany!

I would have bought one of these guitars about six months ago, but could not find one anywhere.
Very nice 👍
Sounds beautiful! I’ve been using ball-end classical strings on a 1976 Eko Ranger 6 dreadnaught…. and it sounds and feels glorious… but I might get tempted to upgrade….
Impressive your guitar hasn't imploded yet if it was made for the tension of steel strings!
New Furchandise!
The great jazz guitarist, Charlie Byrd, played a nylon string classical guitar. Were he alive today, I wonder what he would think of these crossovers.
Sounds incredible. Does anyone know what the difference is between the GN2CW & the GN4CR?

Great review guys! What is that piece of music that Cooper plays at 10:30?

Great video! How loud is this nylon string guitar when not mic’d?
Whoa, great review and some hot Kawhi Leonard takes to boot!
Bonjour existe-t-il une Furch nylon lr baggs sans cutaway ?
Do yall sell furch guitars?
Cedar? I just met her
Nothing on the website about this guitar

I am truly surprised by the sound.
Can yall just dress up as jedi and battle in a guitar riff showdown
A shame the Mic covers the guitar when it could as easily be positioned below.
Listen carefully and you can hear how muffled the treble notes are.
I like the channel and the great information, but when a non - classical guitarist demonstrates
the sound of a classical guitar, it makes a huge difference. It doesn’t give a good representation of the quality of the instrument.
its a soft "h" sound . but honestly, czech is nightmare to pronounce
Don't talk bad to Cooper.
In a Bible movie Cooper would be Jesus and Chris would be Barabas

Here you go. Furch guitars in a nutshell.
One is expensive Americana the other is affordable anti-communist innovation.
