'-Forch's highest quality series "Red pure Gc-LR" has arrived!! - Forch Guitars was founded in 1981 by bluegrass musicians in the former Czechoslovakia! This is a popular brand currently used by a number of renowned artists, including Okazaki Michinori, Nakagawa Isato, Kishibe Masaaki, and UK (MOROHA)! As one of Europe's leading brands, Forch is loved mainly by fingerstyle guitarists. This is a great guitar with a refined sound, smooth playing feel, and a reason why it is used by so many musicians. One of its notable specifications is Forch's patented "CNR (Composite Neck Reinforcement)" system. In pursuit of the most stable neck structure possible, the truss rod, inserted into the carbon pipe, is firmly held in place by a special light alloy bracket that does not affect string vibration. By firmly connecting the bracket to the body, we have succeeded in improving the truss rod's effectiveness by 90% against neck deformation caused by string tension or humidity. In addition, the dovetail groove, which is the same shape as the neck heel, is machined with great precision, greatly increasing the stability of the neck joint. These mechanisms allow us to confidently recommend this guitar as one that you can use for a long time. This model, the "Red pure Gc-LR," is a grand auditorium cutaway style model from Forch's flagship Red pure series (formerly the 25 series)! The top is made of master-grade Alpine spruce, and the back and sides are made of master-grade Indian rosewood. The grand auditorium body's deep lows, well-balanced mid- and high-range, and excellent nuance that responds instantly to even the lightest touches provide excellent balance for fingerstyle playing and are suitable for a variety of styles, from percussive playing to ballads. The Alpine spruce used for the top is characterized by smooth, delicate high frequencies and deep, solid low frequencies. The combination of rich, pure, high-quality Indian rosewood creates a wide-range, deep sound that is endlessly beautiful, making it worthy of the title of a top-of-the-line model. The look has also been carefully considered down to the smallest detail, with a rosette and binding made from luxurious rare core wood, a ziricote fingerboard and bridge, and subtle red heart binding, creating a calm, high-quality, luxurious feel. In addition, the new "closed pore finish (a satin finish with a sealed pore treatment)" adopted for the Red Pure series creates a sophisticated atmosphere with a sophisticated feel, and also expresses a more woody and warm nuance in terms of sound. This is Forch's finest product, which incorporates a variety of intricate designs and is sure to captivate players with both its sound and looks. Come experience the European style that is a little different from American guitars!-SPEC- Top: Master Grade Alpine Spruce Back&Sides: Master Grade Indian Rosewood Neck: Mahogany Bracing: Scalloped X Bracing Nut Width: 45mm Fingerboard: Ziricote Bridge: Ziricote Scale Length: 650mm Binding: Koa Rosette: koa Tuner:GOTOH 510 Ebony Button Case:Hiscox Furch Original Hard Case
