Only 40 were built. The “Edition 40” by Furch Guitars represents the history and legacy of this legendary Czech company. These guitars are very difficulty to find since the production was so small.
This particular Furch Edition 40 is a consignment for one of our collector customers. The guitar has never been gigged and has never left the confines of his humidified studio.
In celebration of Furch Guitars' 100,000th guitar, as well as a 40 year milestone for the company, Furch is releasing a limited line of forty guitars in order to commemorate their achievements. Of those forty, only fifteen are being sent to the United States. Most of the specific details on these guitars are yet to be announced, but information will be made public on September 27th, 2021. As for the currently known details, the guitars will have a Grand Auditorium body style with a cutaway, and will be equipped with an Alpine Spruce top, and an Ash back and sides.
The Ash that is being used for the back and sides is claimed from an old Ash tree that grew in the yard of the Furch factory. The tree had to be cut down during reconstruction of the area, and quality sets of wood have been claimed and naturally dried for several years.
