Perhaps it is because I am well versed in the previous line and I am stubborn and resist change . I did manage to order a D25sr before the old inventory is gone. Should have it next week. Might be selling my D33LR-c

Seems like you have to start from the rainbow serie for any custom order which means at least 2500 E if I dig it right, no more way to tweak any model with custom options, that really sucks

I’ll have to check it out in the morning. My OM34sr is the best acoustic I’ve ever owned, sounds loud with great balance and is so easy to play. I have the narrow nut width, neck somewhat reminiscent of the Martin D28s I’ve played but definitely with its own character. Mine has K&K Pure Mini installed and is a great guitar to play live - though I do baby it a little!

Johan how did you find out this information regarding custom orders? Also do you know if are they still offering custom orders on the vintage series at all?

I know people are like "WHY DID THEY DO THIS to _______".
It's the same reason car manufacturers largely stopped offering manual. We talk about loving them and this, but it means people have not been buying them. |

Haha, in the UK manual cars are still very much in the majority!

Numerical models are universal, I think. Bad news for the Vintage series, indeed.

Furch's (Stonebridge) new lineup
I had another look at the website. It seems the vintage range has been slimmed down to three rosewood models where previously there were other options including mahogany. It looks like my model (OM34sr, spruce rosewood) falls between the model 2 and 3. I guess they know what they are doing and are providing what people want (or what their figures show tend to sell) but it is still a disappointment to see certain features only available on the highest model. In my case the abalone rosette disappears on the model 2 which retains the ivoroid binding of my 34. The 3 has Koa binding and the abalone. Small differences but my guitar is just about exactly what I was after when I bought it!

Johan,
I've found a Furch G body with b/s made of maple at a very competitive price. I'll drop you a PM as I don't know if it's allowed to share commercial URLs. Best, P |

My wife has a lovely OM23SF (maple) and was the the guitar that started us off on our Furch love (and my love for the OM shape generally!). Great tone wood; not to everyone’s liking but like Taylor, Furch seem to have embraced its possibilities. I am sure the one you found would be great!

Thank you Pender that's kind of you , though just like Pieterh I am pretty much leaning toward OM shape rather, feel free to PM the link though, I'll be happy to take a look at it! By the way congratulations for your new Martin 00018, I'll be happy to hear more about your impressions!
