Furch Vintage 1 D-SR a ‘Natural’ Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

The Furch Vintage 1 D-SR is the entry point into Furch’s beautifully considered Vintage Series - a dreadnought that delivers the timeless character of traditional early 20th-century guitar design in a package that combines period-correct aesthetic appointments with Furch’s most advanced structural and tonal engineering. The individually voiced AA Sitka spruce top and AA Indian rosewood back and sides produce the well-balanced, articulate acoustic voice that has made this tonewood pairing the benchmark of fine dreadnought construction for over a century - clear highs, full-bodied lows, and rich overtones with a natural tonal balance that suits strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle playing with equal authority.

Introduced in Furch’s 45th anniversary year, the Heritage logo on the flat vintage-style headstock pays tribute to Furch’s historic headstock designs and reinforces the authentic aesthetic of early 20th-century instruments, while the Full-Pore Vintage Finish with hand-brushed look evokes the natural patina and tactile character of a traditionally finished vintage guitar without sacrificing the resonance-enhancing properties that Furch’s UV-polymerised finishing process delivers. Artificial ivory binding, double-ring rosette with black walnut inlay, artificial tortoise pickguard, polished ebony fingerboard with white pearl dot inlays, ebony headstock overlay, ebony bridge with ebony pins, TUSQ fully compensated saddle, and Furch Vintage machine heads at 1:15 gear ratio complete a vintage specification of genuine coherence and considered aesthetic restraint. The CNR System Active neck joint automatically adjusts neck angle to maintain consistent string action across humidity changes, minimising the need for costly neck resets over the guitar’s lifetime.
