Default NGD Furch 12-string

I couldn’t resist...

Furch Green Plus series dreadnought 12-string with walnut back and sides and a passive Baggs iBeam pickup (which I haven’t tried yet).

A major retailer in Sweden unfortunately went bankrupt recently. I bought this from someone who bought it at 50% discount but didn’t get on with it.

Gorgeous top on this guitar and it’s loud! The neck is quite wide but I guess that’s a good thing - it’s my first 12-string after nearly 40 years of playing so it’s just a question of getting used to it!

Congrats! Buying a 12 string somewhere down the line is a goal of mine and you can't really go wrong with Furch!

Nice clean guitar - does it have a pick guard?

I only ask because 12's typically get a lot of strumming time.

Love the combo pinned/pinless bridge Furch uses for their 12-Strings.
