(NEW) We're rolling out Furch Guitars here at AMW, and we want to have to most interesting and innovative models they offer. Since we're trying to enliven your collection with the addition of a new Furch, consider exploring the sonic depths with this Baritone cutaway! A baritone guitar plays exactly like any other acoustic, albeit with a longer scale length and heavier strings, with a tuning of B-E-A-D-F#-B. It gives you five more (lower) notes in the standard tuning, but the string tension also endures even lower tunings. The limits are only your imagination.
This guitar is part of the Green Series, with Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and the addition of a cutaway... meaning that you have the entire fretboard to explore. The cosmetics are pretty understated, this instrument has a satin finish, ivoroid body binding and a simple black/white/black purfling scheme. The nut width is 1 3/4" and the saddle spacing 2 3/16". Scale length is a long 28". The mahogany neck has a satin finish and a low oval shape for easy playability.
The fingerboard and bridge are ebony, the tuners are closed-gear Schaller w/ Furch insignia. Includes hard case.
