Furch Blue Performance Gc-CM a 2026 Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Gig Bag

The Blue Performance CM a is designed for discerning players who prioritize stage performance, maximum playing comfort, and the most natural amplified tone. The soundboard of the guitar is made of carefully selected western red cedar, whose naturally quick response and warm, expressive character are further enhanced by our innovative individual soundboard voicing process. The back and sides are crafted from African mahogany, a tonewood known for its warmth and tonal balance. Together, these materials produce a smooth, dynamic sound with warm lows, focused mids, and soft, rounded highs, making the instrument particularly well-suited for delicate fingerstyle passages as well as nuanced strumming.

To ensure outstanding performance on stage, the guitar is equipped with the LR Baggs Stagepro Element system, delivering a highly natural, studio-quality amplified sound that faithfully captures the instrument’s acoustic character.

In addition to several dark appointments, the natural appearance of the Blue Performance CM a is further highlighted by our Open-Pore Finish, which leaves the pores of the wood exposed while ensuring maximum resonance. The instrument also features a double ring rosette with a black walnut inlay, black body binding, and a black pickguard, all of which contribute to its clean and understated visual identity. Playing comfort is further elevated by the Bevel Duo ergonomic feature, carefully integrated into both the top and back plate, significantly reducing arm and rib pressure and ensuring exceptional comfort even during prolonged performances. For improved orientation during live performance, the guitar also features linear position markers on the side of the fretboard, allowing for quick and intuitive navigation across the neck under any lighting conditions.
