Well this is yet another stunning development by Furch who are utterly destroying Taylor and Martin with their new releases. First of all it was the GS20 CM (cedar top with mahogany back and sides) with its all solid World Class production and now the spruce top and Walnut back and sides (all solid of course - only a brand such as Martin and Taylor could convince you that GBP700 for a laminate topped guitar is "value").

I have been singing the praises of Furch guitars since they were first available in the UK. That was many years ago (then under the Stonebridge name). At that time nobody in the UK had heard of them but I have never been scared of believing in my own experience and understanding of what a "good" guitar should sound like. I have experienced Taylors and Martins, Takamine and the rest of them for 18 years in retail and from the first day it was so clear to me that Stonebridge was immensely special and represented something unique in the market. They have not let me down since and these days you cannot go onto an acoustic forum without hearing superlatives about the brand.

If you want a pure thoroughbred World Class acoustic tone for GBP1000 then Furch has to be your first and only real choice - the competition are just nowhere near this level. If you need convincing which of course you should (don't just take my word for it - I COULD be another silver tongued marketeer like most "advertisers" of goods online) - log an enquiry via my site and lets get you down here for a trial! (and prepare to get very excited!!)
