I guess these will have to do…

I know. You'd think that being retired military, I'd have more self-discipline.

But there it was, right in front of me, and I succumbed to temptation in a moment of weakness.

That’s ok—we still love you.

We had this record when I was a child, and I learned VIBGYOR and cannot forget it now. It did come in handy when reading about Furch models.

VIBGOR?!?

Do they have rainbows on alien planets too? We learned ROY G BIV.

Hey, I think I went to high school with him!

After seeing Justin Johnson Paul david Alamo and others featuring Furch and having a soft spot for anything Czech (beer, Cz guns, etc) I pulled the trigger on a Furch indigo sight unseen from a store in Germany for about $600. I never thought I would see it. Arrived in perfect condition and is my daily guitar. I then bought a cedar Violet from Alamo which is a closet queen. Because I worked away from home once a month I of course needed a travel guitar and bought a Little Jane from reverb which is remarkable.
I’d buy any Furch over virtually any other brand. Maybe a guild esp vintage. Spoke to a good shop in Boston a year ago about Furch and they said they blew Martin and Taylor completely out of the water for sound playability and value. I couldn’t agree more. And the violet and indigo are laminate and both <$1000. Go to the Furch website and listen to the instruments on their app.

I really like my sitka/walnut Furch Orange DS-W.
I got mine used from Mandolin Cafe.

Would like to have a cedar topped OM cutaway.
I remember our fine, but short lived, guitar store here.
The Furch cedar models sounded the best new than most of the store's Martin and Taylors.
