With the Violet G-SY, the Czech manufacturer Furch offers an amazingly open-sounding Grand Auditorium from the popular Violet series. Accordingly, a solid Sitka spruce top sits on a body of laminated mahogany and resonates with powerful bass, vocal and nuanced mids, as well as fine silver highs. This makes this Grand Auditorium ideal for a powerful vocal accompaniment with strumming or flatpicking.
In addition, the flat neck profile lies comfortably in the hand and a saddle width of 45mm leaves plenty of room for filigree fingerstyle and larger fingers.
A compensated Graph Tech TUSQ bridge inlay ensures clean intonation and a flat string position, while chrome-plated die-cast mechanisms keep the tuning clean.
Furch Violet G-SYFrom the first time I heard one of these on you tube it was clear these guitars were outstanding. But I had no idea at all how this base level satin open pore laminates back would sound.
The workmanship, although austere, is perfect. The sound blows any other guitar I’ve ever played or heard completely away. Martins. Seagulls. Guilds. Yamahas. Gibson’s. Loprinzi. Custom handmade. Washburn. Takamine. Better than any martin I have personally ever played. Perfect intonation. Sustain, harmonica resonance volume richness overtones are all just perfect. Was hoping for a good guitar but wasn’t expecting this. Perfectly setup. Perfect action. Love it.
I've been playing guitar since 1970 unfortunately with long lapses; i played classical and fingerstyle, predominantly nylon string and stopped playing for twenty years in the 90's and again almost 10 years ago; in January of this year I was able to retire and have been re-teaching myself fingerstyle steel string - Fahey, Kottke, etc. Furch guitars showed up on a number of sites as I was looking at online lessons, etc. and based on a few You Tube videos it was pretty apparent that I'd never heard anything else like them. And I mean, anything. Carbon fiber, Ovations, Martins, TAylors, Yamaha, Loprinzi, Guild, Washburn, couple handmade guitars from a local luthier. So when this price came up on Music Store I went for it blindly, kinda just to have a Furch. Little nervous about having a guitar this good shipped overseas, esp with the outrageous heat in the USA these days. Took about 3+ weeks. I emailed MusicStore several times because the tracking #'s were pretty slow to change. they were cordial with their responses. IT was shipped by DHL to the states, then the post office. Arrived 3 days ago, perfect condition, well packed, perfectly set up. Action was flawless. Intonation flawless. And the sound was beyond anything i have ever heard. I cannot imagine what the higher end guitars would sound like. Only things i've ever heard come close were old Guilds from the70's. The volume, balance, sustain, resonance, overtones, beat anything i've ever had. Very plain - satin open pore finish, minimal rosette, no fretboard markers. But the sound...the sound. Bear in mind, the workmanship on Martins is outstanding, but they've always sounded dull, not particularly resonant, mediocre sustain and overtones. this thing is outstanding. And I believe it puts the lie to the whole thing "solid wood is better". For the soundboard, probably. The back and sides? nonsense. I was very pleased with the service and price from MusicStore, the responsiveness of Fabian at their export desk, and the quality of this guitar far far exceeded not only my expectations but my hopes. I'd certainly recommend physically playing them in teh store to pick out your favorite but i can tell you having bought this blindly I am flat out overwhelmed. The action and playability and width of the neck have clearly made me a better guitar player.
