AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Furch Pioneer-EM a is a compact, all-solid travel guitar that delivers far more tone and sophistication than its size suggests. Designed for players who want premium sound on the go, it pairs a solid Engelmann spruce top with solid African mahogany back and sides for a warm, balanced voice with excellent clarity, projection, and dynamic response. Whether you’re practicing at home, writing on the road, or performing in tight spaces, the Pioneer-EM a feels inspiring and responsive in your hands.
Despite its short-scale format, this guitar benefits from Furch’s most advanced technologies, including individually voiced soundboards, the Booster Soundport for enhanced projection and player feedback, and the innovative CNR System® Active neck design. The result is effortless playability, consistent string action, and impressive volume from a small body. Finished with understated black binding and supplied in a high-protection gig bag, the Pioneer-EM a is built to travel without compromise.
