New Furch on the way..... The wait begins

[TBman]

I pulled the trigger on this new old stock Furch Gc-CR that Brickhouse Guitars was selling. I was hoping I'd find an NOS without the barn door electronics. IslandGuitar (Fred) gave me the link to the guitar and if Llew didn't post about his OM on the way I'd never have would have bought from Brickhouse. Thanks to Fred and Llew for the assist!

10-15 day wait though for the combined Canadian/US postal services to deliver.

I'm looking forward to receiving this one. I've been gassing for one for a couple years now.

Congrats eh, (It's the Canadian in me.)

Seriously, that looks like a nice one, looking forward to your NGD review Barry.

Looks great Barry, can you tell us a little bit more about it? Size? Timbers?

Sure Bruce. Its a 2020 Furch Yellow Grand Auditorium, 45mm nut, cedar over rosewood.

Good looking guitar. Looking forward to hear how this suits your music.

Very nice. For lack of a better term it looks like a very elegant guitar. I know the waiting is no fun. I bought a 00017 from a fellow member. Will be here tomorrow.

Oh Man, Barry!

What a great looking OM! Good for you! I hope you love it when it arrives!

I'll look forward to hearing some great recordings!

Glad to help Barry! My Boucher is due in on Friday if all goes according to plan? I was reading about Roger Schmidt and his influence on Furch to bring their guitars to North America. I'm curious about the Furch/Stone Bridge relationship and the new line (Avenir) from Stone Bridge which sound a lot like an old Lowden I used to own (O-22c). Same headstock shape as Furch and Stone Bridge.
Anyway...congrats in advance on your Furch Barry. Hope it's a keeper!

It's about time Barry! Congratulations and I hope it's what you have wanted after all this time.

Congratulations Barry, I think you'll be very happy. I've got pretty much the identical guitar from two years earlier and it's a keeper.

[TBman]

Thanks everyone. Finally!

Glad to hear that Ed! I played a Furch spruce dread a while ago and loved it so this should really do it for me.

Wonderful, Barry!!! Was this the one I passed through to you??? (You wondered about Canadian or US dollars).
So pleased the first phase of this journey has been fulfilled....and now on to the next phase of getting to know this great looking guitar!

[Treenewt]

Barry, that has to be the longest road to a NGD in AGF history! So glad you finally found what you’re looking for! Can’t wait to hear some recordings with your new Furch!
