Solid tonewoods with enhanced resonance
The Furch Guitars Blue DC-SW is crafted using solid AA-grade Sitka spruce for the top and solid black walnut for the back and sides, delivering a sound that’s both powerful and articulate. The spruce top provides excellent projection and brightness, while the walnut adds warmth and midrange balance. This carefully selected tonewood pairing gives the guitar a rich tonal character that suits a wide range of styles, from strumming to delicate fingerpicking. An ultra-thin Open-Pore Finish is applied to preserve the natural resonance of the wood, allowing the guitar to vibrate freely and project with clarity. The result is a beautifully open and responsive tone that truly reflects the quality of the materials used.
Stage-ready with LR Baggs electronics
Equipped with the LR Baggs Stagepro Element system, the Blue DC-SW is ready for any performance environment. This side-mounted preamp includes a built-in tuner and a three-band EQ, giving you precise control over your live tone without needing external gear. The Element undersaddle pickup captures your playing with accuracy and warmth, faithfully translating the guitar’s acoustic voice through any amplification system. From intimate solo gigs to full band setups, this system ensures your tone stays consistent, clear and natural. The discreet controls are ergonomically positioned for quick adjustments during a set, making it ideal for gigging musicians who value both convenience and professional-quality sound.
Reliable neck design with long-term stability
At the heart of the Furch Blue DC-SW is the innovative CNR System® Active neck joint. This unique construction method includes a dual-action truss rod encased in a carbon-reinforced structure, combined with a wooden expansion element that automatically adapts to changes in humidity. As a result, the neck maintains its angle and setup over time, reducing the need for costly neck resets or frequent truss rod adjustments. The guitar maintains stable string action and excellent intonation across a range of climates. This forward-thinking design gives you peace of mind and ensures your instrument always performs at its best.
Elegant details and thoughtful craftsmanship
While performance and tone are at the core of the Blue DC-SW, Furch have also given attention to aesthetic details that elevate the instrument’s visual appeal. The guitar features a faux tortoise binding and pickguard, which pair beautifully with the natural grain of the spruce and walnut. A rosette with a double-ring design and black walnut inlay adds a subtle yet refined touch. The brushed frets are intentionally shortened to prevent protrusion in dry conditions, with a flexible ebony-coloured filler providing a seamless finish at the edges of the fretboard. Combined with chrome Furch tuners and an ebony bridge and fretboard, every element has been carefully chosen for durability, comfort and understated elegance.
