I echo the concern about the flat radius of the Larrivee fingerboard. I have played many fantastic Larris and it is the only thing that has stood in the way of making one a permanent member of my guitar collection. Make sure you like the flatter radius before you buy.

I love my Furch D 31 TSR. Amazing guitar.

I had a furch OM33 for a while. Basically the same as the 31 but with more fancy appointments. Fantastic, unbelievable guitar and easily as good as a martin OM28.
In the end I wend with an OM32 with the hog back and sides as hog was my preference at that time.
I would recommend furch as one of the most consistent guitar makers around. Give one a try.

Never tried Larivee or eastman. But the eastmans do sound pretty good from what ive heard. The question mark for me would be around the built quality and consistency.

I would put Furch's and Stonebridges WAYYYYY above Eastmans. Not only in build quality, but richness of tone as well.

My Eastman is "GREAT" my Furch is "WOW"!!!!!

Any Furch I've ever played has been WOW!! I've played about 10 different Furch/Stonebridge guitars.

Everytime they have delivered.

EXCEPTIONAL!!
I agree 100%. I have Martin 28 series guitar and my furch OM32 is easily as good in terms of build quality/fit and finish.

I think that says it all.
