That would be Paul Neito’s place on west 14th street, GuitarTech. I actualy turned him onto Furch. He is a builder him self, mostly electric guitars. I totally understand not taking a gamble. Hope you get to play one one day, with new strings.

On paper, the biggest difference I noticed between these models is the scale length is shorter on the A3R (23.5" vs approx 25.5" on the others). Oh, and I believe the nut width on the Guilds is 1 3/4” vs 1 11/16” on the others. Which might be a vote in favor of the Guilds, since I’d been gravitating towards the necks on the Gibsons, which would provide a contrast to the eventual D-18 purchase.

There is one more. The Fretted Buffalo is and he is a forum sponsor too!
