I'm looking for forum members who can comment on Furch Guitars. If you have played one, or better yet, owned one, please chime in. Thanks!

Had one on loan from a dealer/friend. Wasn't really looking to buy but would have been totally worth it. Top notch workmanship and sound, very comfortable to play.
Don't recall the model, thirtysomething (?), but remember a little wider nut and great neck. Played and sounded better off the shelf than a comparable Martin at the time.

A pal of mine who had a guitar shop was one of the first to bring them into the US. All of them were top-notch instruments. At the time, the price was ridiculously affordable for an instrument with that kind of quality. I don't know about the current stuff, however.

Peegoo, Do you remember if they were using the Stonebridge name when your pal first stocked them?

I owned one for a year or so. It was a Stonebridge CC23-something something. Cedar top, cocobolo b/s.
Gorgeous guitar, excellent build, great fingerpicker, lovely tone. I let it go because I wandered off into bluegrass. Didn't lose any money on it, though.
It came in a really nice Hiscox case, too.
Can't go wrong with a Furch/Stonebridge.

Correction on my post: I remember now, it was a G23-CC.

I played one at the Philly guitar show in 2019, and had a long chat with the Nashville distributor. I was very impressed by the high-quality Czech craftmanship and the excellent sound. The price seemed very reasonable for such a high quality instrument.
