Are you a fan of traditional guitar design? If so, you should not miss the Vintage Pure SM! This guitar is crafted from high-quality Sitka spruce and African mahogany. Together with our innovative production technologies, these tonewoods give it a perfectly balanced sound with sparkling highs and warm bass.
In addition to a number of natural appointments, the traditional vintage appearance of the instrument is further enhanced by our Open-Pore Finish, which leaves the deep pores of the tonewood open. The Vintage Pure SM is available as dreadnought, dreadnought with cutaway, orchestra model, orchestra model with cutaway and OOM body shape.
Unique Voicing Process
The premium nature of the Vintage Pure SM is underscored by the fact that the soundboard is individually tuned using the voicing process, which enhances the instrument’s tonal properties to the highest level. Thanks to that, the Vintage Pure SM has a crystalline clear, harmonically rich, balanced, and highly dynamic sound across the entire tonal spectrum.
Open-Pore Finish
The instrument features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection.
Furch CNR System® Neck Design
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.
A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor of essential importance for playability.
A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body.
Stylish Appointments
The traditional look of the Vintage Pure SM is underscored by double ring rosette with black walnut inlay and body binding made of faux tortoise.
Excellent Machine Heads
The Vintage Pure SM has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Gotoh SE700 Nickel Patina machine heads with a 1:15 gear ratio.
Pearl Position Markers
The fretboard features white pearl side position markers and fingerboard inlays that improve fingerboard orientation and enhance the guitar’s exclusive appearance.
