Furch GNc 2-CW 'Western Red Cedar / Black Walnut' Grand Nylon Cutaway Classical Guitar

The Furch GNc 2-CW is a beautifully conceived crossover instrument from Furch's Grand Nylon series, combining the warm, expressive sound and lightness of a classical guitar with the ergonomic neck and playing comfort more typically associated with steel-string guitars. The Western red cedar soundboard paired with black walnut back and sides delivers a pleasingly musical tone with a gorgeous natural look, while Furch's time-proven body design and internal bracing pattern translate into an optimal balance of volume, sustain, and dynamics. Each soundboard goes through Furch's proprietary voicing process, fine-tuning the instrument for crystal-clear, harmonically rich tone across the full tonal range.

The standout feature is Furch's CNR System Active neck joint, an innovative design that automatically adjusts neck angle in response to humidity changes to maintain consistent string action over time, virtually eliminating the need for costly neck resets. With a cutaway body for upper-fret access, faux tortoise binding, mother-of-pearl appointments, and Furch's resonance-enhancing ultra-thin lacquer finish, the GNc 2-CW is ideal for nylon-string players who want the ergonomic feel of a steel-string neck, crossover guitarists exploring nylon-string tone, and anyone who values genuinely innovative, low-maintenance design in a premium handmade instrument.
