Hailing from the Czech Republic, Petr Furch’s guitar company has been one that we’ve had our eyes – and ears – on for quite a while. While Furch is hardly a new name in acoustic guitars, in fact it’s celebrating its 40th anniversary, it has been something of a best-kept secret among players who want exquisite quality and tone without necessarily knocking on the doors of the more established makers like Taylor or Martin. And when we say ‘players’ we’re including artists here such as Al Di Meola, Suzanne Vega and Glen Hansard, alongside many more.
It might seem a bold statement to make this early on in a review, but we can honestly say that we’ve never played a bad Furch guitar
