Furch Guitars Review | Learn the Truth and History of Furch Guitars!
Furch Guitars is a brand name you may have heard about but can’t specifically recall where. Maybe you saw the script F logo on the headstock of a guitar being played by a talented guitarist on YouTube? Perhaps, you are in Europe and you are already very familiar with these fantastic guitars. For those of you who are not, we want to introduce you Furch Guitars. Furch guitars have been around since the 1970s, being manufactured in the Czech Republic, both before and after the fall of the Soviet Union. There is a clear focus on modern design and the needs of the modern musician with incredible attention to detail. The fit and finish is phenomenal. The playability is top notch. In short, you should be paying attention to this brand. You may have actually encountered them before under the name of Stonebridge – don’t worry, we will explain that too. In this video we review the Master’s Choice models for the Violet, Indigo, Blue and Green series. Check out the full video to see what Chris McKee really things of Furch guitars!

Furch guitars are true luthier’s guitars as the big brands no longer know how to do.
I love bungalows.
I have had a Stonebridge G23-SR cutaway for some 12 years. Furch made and North America branded. It is a wonderful instrument. Excellent build, sound and play-ability.
thank you. terrific info ! I bought one about 2 months ago. WOW. so very sweet. Question, do they (Furch) still make blue series Sunburst top guitars. Thank you for all you do !!
$2K???? NOT FOR ME
Suzanne Vega plays them and David Knopfler and i have to say history is not this guys forte. He thought the Dreadnought was a ship from the American Civil War. ????
i have the blue gc sw ❤❤❤
$2,000 fr their guitars? NO THANKS – my taxes have been stolen and given to the europeans to long – I'll buy Martin.
What is the name of this song? Thx
Truth is they are fabulous guitars!
I have a Furch guitar built in 1999. The fingerboard fell off it as it had been glued with out-of-date hide glue, revealing some very dodgy construction. I put it back together and it's still going strong!
Furch have been available to Europe for a couple of decades or so and what I love best about them is that they're still handcrafted (an order takes 13 weeks from start to finish) – what's more you can opt to have a 43mm, 45mm or 48mm nut width! Furch are not mass-produced on an assembly line like those shockingly bad Taylor guitars are these days. (The only thing 'high-end' about Taylor's are their rip off prices!!). To be fair, you can find a Lemon Grove built Taylor from around 40 years ago, then grab one. Those were the days when they were hand built by Bob Taylor himself. I've had Taylor's and wouldn't touch one now that I own two Furch's. (One is actually a Stonebridge, which is the same thing)
I have a Furch MF3 F-style mandolin that I bought back in January of 2000. A lovely looking and great sounding mandolin. I've only ever seen 1 other at the same time I bought mine. This was before Stonebridge became a brand. It's my go to mandolin with a ton of miles on it, I've only ever upgraded the tuners. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one if I needed it, a wonderfully crafted instrument. Are there any in stock? Why not?
All solid wood now.
Sorry … is this blatant stupidity or simply ignorance??? Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet Union??? So much crap turns me away; subscription canceled …
Furch guitars are surely great and special in the way they are manufactured. But keep this guy behind the checkout and grant him some basic education or … the help 'em to just shut up'n play. As a fellow Texan, I feel f**n' embarrassed!!!
it's not true that Czech&Slovakia were part of Soviet Union
one note, actually in Czech "CH" is pronounced differently from Engllish: "CH" sounds same way like "J" in Spanish ("Juan"), so it is better to pronounce it not as "FurCZ" (like in "Czech"), but more like "FurJ" (J like in Spanish "Juan"). I know, difficult .. 😉 Still terrific guitars regardless of pronounciation ????
Learn your history first Chris ! Czechoslovakia was never a part of Soviet Union . Separate countries with separate languages and cultures . But yes they were communist and allied with ithe USSR
I have a 25sr that has been my main stage guitar for about 10 years. A real beauty. I love it.
Best guitar ever and Ive played them all.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the downtown location today any trying out some Furch guitars… I was coming in assuming I wanted something more mainstream but was amazed at the quality of these instruments. Thanks for giving this company a chance
Love your measured, well-informed approach.
The Furch factory is 100 kms from where CF Martin was born in Saxony.
Czechoslovakia was never part of the Soviet Union. It was part of the Soviet-block (or Eastern Block as we name it in the EU) but has always been a souvereign nation. The country split up in two seperate republics (Czech Republic and Republic of Slovakia) after the fall of the Berlin wall (which was really much larger and better named as Iron Curtain as it stretched through all Soviet-block nations and not only Berlin).
Furch guitars are amazing instruments and the factory history is nice but typical of most of Czech musical instrument makers. The story of Framus is also intriguing and I own a classical guitar made in a former Czech but nor German workshop by the great guitar builder Oskar Teller. Lots of builders left Czechoslovakia after the Soviets pulled up the iron curtain. Many of them still exist in a rather small region in the southwest part of what used to be West-Germany.
History is really interesting and the story of guitars always seem to return to old European factories of which a number have survived and still make amazing instruments (Furch, Framus, Kremona amongst others). You know where even Martin originated from.
Love your videos and especially how you play and analyze the instruments you sell. Wish youg guys had a shop in Europe. Thar would rock the continent!
Chech Republic was not part of USSR
It would be nice if you talked more about the action string height and playability out of the Box.
They're really nice guitars which are classified as luthier workshopped. These are not budget or mid ranged guitars, they're geared towards professionals or serious musicians. Lovely sounding instruments and great looking materials and design, so nothing really to fault. For the price you could start looking at full luthier guitars but what you're also getting here is tried and tested designs that shouldn't have too many issues along the way.
