The First thing I have always noticed about Furch guitars before even picking one up at the store play it for the first time is the quality of the finish. The finish is very subtle and has a non-intrusive touch to it on the instrument. You can feel all of the thought and work went into designing the finish, it is truly impressive because the finish is incredibly thin and hard. This thin hard layer of finish is voice enhancing compared to soft and thick finishes that will muffle the voice of a guitar greatly because generally speaking lacquer finishes are made for furniture and they have not accounted for the resonance of a high-end instrument. This new modern innovation lets the instrument’s tonewoods resonate properly giving them a superior tone.
Peter Furch, the CEO and Chief engineer of Furch identified these issues with the standard application and qualities of common lacquers and set out with his team to develop a unique and modern finish made for their guitars in mind. They have clearly succeeded in that goal if you have ever seen the subtle gleam of a Furch guitar. It has always left me with the question of how do they achieve such a fine finish on each and every guitar that they make? Luckily, Furch has released an awesome in-depth video on how the process was designed and implemented at the Furch factory. Its innovations like such as these that set Furch in a league of their own.
