Better to see/try before you buy
I am a daily playing amateur guitarist and I’m lucky enough to own several guitars of various makes.
Living in Spain it is difficult to find decent guitar outlets hence why this was purchased on-line, not my preferred choice.
The guitar arrived quickly, bearing in mind where I live so the service was very good.
The guitar on arrival was disappointing, the finish on the sides showed where pressure had been applied when they had been formed and shaped and this resulted in a change of colour tone. The proprietary strings made the guitar sound tinny and the high E string buzzed, I changed the strings and the results were much improved.
I considered asking to return the guitar but through the Spanish system this is fraught with problems, hence I still have it. It is played pretty much every day and overall, I am pleased with how it plays.
It is a shame that quality assurance at both Furch production and at Thomanns was clearly minimal, as this guitar should not have been offered for sale.
