CNR Neck Reinforcement System

Perhaps the largest challenge that luthiers and acoustic instrument manufacturers have been tackling since day one is striking the perfect balance between strength and flexibility. Creating an instrument that’s rigid enough to withstand stable tension across the strings yet flexible enough to allow for fluid vibration and resonance has always been the ultimate goal in the quest for good tone. The Furch CNR Neck Reinforcement System drops tradition and takes things back to the drawing board, utilising modern materials, engineering, and science. The fully adjustable truss rod is encased within a carbon fibre enclosure, which provides superior rigidity and allows for more accurate and controllable adjustments up and down the entire length of the neck. In addition, a unique support casting made from a specially formulated alloy is placed within the neck heel, providing superior neck-to-body support, which allows for far less internal body support, resulting in more resonance throughout the body.

Furch Guitars

František Furch began his guitar-building journey in socialist Czechoslovakia in 1981. Fuelled by the desire, ambition and necessity for high-quality acoustic guitars during a time when trading around the globe was near impossible. His goal was to craft a guitar that could rival even the most sought-after and well-known guitars from around the world and produce an instrument that provided the same shimmering tones, rich resonance and easy playability heard on countless records of the time. Today, Furch Guitars is one of the most prominent and highly regarded guitar manufacturers in the world. Lovingly handcrafted in the Czech Republic, Furch Guitars are renowned for their premium tonewood selection, expert craftsmanship and revolutionary designs and innovations such as their CNR Neck Reinforcement System and foldable travel acoustic guitars.
