Great guitars with really lovely voices right across the range from what I can see. I have played about 5 of them in my time and found them all to have balance, projection, but above all something hard to define - just a bit of magic dust that gives them a real emotion-evoking voice. It seems ot be there in all their instruments. My main guitar is a Furch built Stanford D1. It has laminated back and sides but has a wonderfully complex tone. It has done the festivals, got wet, got dry, been hot and cold and dropped a few times. It is structurally very sound depite being a lively, lightly braced guitar.

My dream guitar would be a Furch spruce / mahogany dread with a 45mm nut. You can get them - I just can't afford one right now!

Buy with confidence my friend, these are guitars for very discerning players
