The Red Series is synonymous with the highest class of Furch guitars, which are truly uncompromising in terms of the materials and components. The Red Pure LC is made of premium Alpine spruce used on the soundboard and Cocobolo on the back and sides. Both plates undergo Furch's innovative voicing process, which in conjunction with the material used gives the instrument a beautiful, versatile sound with clear and open tones.
The beauty of the tonewood is underlined by a resonance enhancing satin finish and a number of decorative details, led by a redheart purfling and koa rosette, binding and position markers. The guitar comes enclosed in a highly durable, thermally insulated Hiscox case.
The premium nature of the Red Pure LC is underscored by the fact that both the soundboard and the back plate are individually tuned using the voicing process, Furch’s proprietary technology that enhances the guitar’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Red Pure LR has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.
The luxury look of the Red Pure LC is further enhanced by a combination of fingerboard, bridge and headstock overlay made from figured ziricote. The body, headstock and fingerboard of the guitar are bound with koa with a white contrasting line, complemented by a redheart body purfling. In addition to binding, Furch also used koa for the ring rosette and tail decoration.
White pearl side position markers combined with unconventional rectangular fingerboard inlays made from koa improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.
The guitar’s body is coated with an ultra-thin and consistent UV Full-Pore Satin Finish, which Furch designed to maximize the resonant properties of the instrument while providing excellent protection. The foundation of the surface treatment is Furch’s own high-gloss varnish, the final layer of which Furch luthiers apply with a matte finish. Thus, the guitar acquires a beautiful, slightly matte appearance.
The Red Pure LC has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Gotoh 510 Silver Patina machine heads with polished ebony buttons and a highly precise 1:21 gear ratio.
Maximum protection during transport is provided by a high-rigidity Hiscox case with polyurethane insulating foam that shields the instrument from changes in external climatic conditions.
