The Violet Master’s Choice does not compromise on sound or workmanship. The soundboard of the instrument is made from carefully selected Sitka spruce, whose excellent acoustic properties are further enhanced by our innovative individual voicing process. The back and sides are made from African mahogany. This combination gives the guitar a perfectly balanced sound with clear highs, warm bass and long-lasting sustain. In addition to a number of dark decorative details, the beautiful natural appearance of the instrument is further enhanced by our Open-Pore Finish.

Unique voicing process

The premium nature of the Violet Master’s Choice is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Violet Master’s Choice has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.

Open-Pore Finish

The instrument features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection.

Furch CNR System® Neck Design

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.

A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor of essential importance for playability.
A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body.

Contrasting black details

The spruce soundboard of the Violet Master’s Choice is decorated with binding, pickguard and an annular rosette in a contrasting black design.

Excellent playability

The ebony fingerboard of the guitar is equipped with special shortened frets which deliberately do not extend to the edge of the fingerboard. This prevents them from protruding due to fretboard shrinkage at lower humidity. The resulting area contains a flexible ebony-colored filler, which can perfectly absorb any changes.

For the discerning guitarist seeking a blend of exceptional craftsmanship, rich tonal quality, and reliable performance, the Furch MC Violet Gc-SM SPE LR Baggs SPE with Furch Gig Bag stands as a premier choice. This instrument is designed to meet the needs of professional musicians and serious enthusiasts who demand clarity, warmth, and versatility in their acoustic guitar. Whether performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing at home, this guitar delivers a sound and playability that inspire creativity and confidence.

At the heart of this guitar’s appeal is its expertly selected tonewood combination. The solid Sitka spruce top, graded A for quality, offers a bright, articulate sound with excellent projection and responsiveness. This means that every note you play resonates with clarity and dynamic range, allowing your performance to shine. Complementing the spruce is the solid African mahogany back and sides, graded AA, which contribute a warm, rich midrange tone and enhanced sustain. The open-pore finish on both the top and back not only preserves the natural resonance of the wood but also provides a comfortable, natural feel against your body, encouraging longer playing sessions without discomfort.

The ergonomic design further enhances playability and comfort. Featuring a Grand Concert (Gc) body shape with a neck-to-body joint at the 14th fret, this guitar offers easy access to higher frets, ideal for intricate fingerstyle playing or soloing. The neck itself is crafted from African mahogany and shaped in Furch’s Soft V profile, which balances comfort with control, making it suitable for various playing styles. The neck is reinforced with the innovative CNR System, allowing for precise dual-action adjustments to maintain perfect neck relief and ensure optimal string action over time. The scale length of 25 9/16 inches and the ebony fingerboard with a subtle 15 3/4 inch radius provide a smooth, responsive playing surface, while the fully compensated TUSQ saddle and zero fret optimize intonation and tuning stability.

This guitar is equipped with premium hardware and electronics that elevate its functionality. The ebony bridge paired with plastic bridge pins ensures a secure string anchor that maximizes vibration transfer for enhanced tone. The Furch Machine Chrome tuning machines with an 18:1 gear ratio offer precise tuning adjustments, keeping your guitar in tune longer and simplifying string changes. Additionally, the guitar comes pre-strung with Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb strings (12-53 gauge), known for their longevity and balanced tone. For amplified performances, the LR Baggs SPE preamp system is integrated seamlessly, delivering a natural, transparent sound through any PA system or amplifier, making this guitar stage-ready without compromising its acoustic character.

Practical considerations are also addressed thoughtfully. The black pickguard with a transparent extension protects the guitar’s top from scratches and wear without detracting from its elegant appearance. White position dots along the fingerboard side assist with quick fretboard navigation, while the brushed fret finish ensures smooth playability and reduces finger noise. The guitar’s nut width of 1 3/4 inches and nut string spacing of 1 1/2 inches provide a comfortable string spread that facilitates both chordal playing and single-note runs. The inclusion of a durable Furch gig bag allows for convenient transport and protection, making it easy to take this instrument on the road or to rehearsals.
