Hey there,

I just wanted to share with you my recently delivered package from Thomann.

I am gonna have lot of work to set it up for my playing. Will mess with CNR Active and neck, but it will be done.

I am really happy. Thanks all for helping me and talking about guitars. :slight_smile: Its a big day for me and I am officialy member of Furch family now!

@beejay56 Thank you! They are! Its home made product - I am from Czech Republic. Just additional plus points. :slight_smile:

@Helen0609 Hehe, you really know the struggle. Its been a journey… but its just beginning. I hope my mind will be free for few years. :joy:
I am gonna spend lot of time with her now. I just set action to OK spot and now I am doing first test. There are 12 strings and they feel like they are waxed… hard to press for me. My main is 11, so I think I will restring really soon.
First impressions are… how such a small guitar can sound so mature. Maybe a little more mature than my bigger guitar.

@Coda Thank you. :blush: And dont try to take down your latest record… its great. How am I supposed to go back to listen when you put it out?
Now that is strong argument and you cant!

@LievenDV Of course, Lieven! I had to make this memory video of first day. Playing anything. :slight_smile: Thank you.
This model and wood combination was my favorite since beginning, but I had really long journey to decide and “beat” other. :smiley:
Having problems with higher gauge of strings, I am 11th guy and there are 12th.

Thanks for the vid and yes good idea to have a memento.
I did it way back with my first acoustic and I wonder why I didn’t with my other guitars :confused:

detune half step down for a while and when you’re fully “worked it”, tune up again?

@LievenDV I will try. Something just feel little weird in those strings… like they are waxed or something. Its D’Addario XS PhBr 12-53 and I am long term using Elixir Nanoweb 11-52 Custom Light.
Heh… now you have people on concert to do it for you! I saw that last post where you nailed it.

@CATMAN62 Thank you very much. Really kind words. :blush:

Hi Michal,
Happy NGD :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :partying_face:

I wish you a lot of time together …

I think this is the first time I’ve typed it and my “i wish a lot of” feels completely nonsensical :roll_eyes: because it’s 100% definitely going to happen a lot … :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Have fun

Greetings

Great! I had seen your thread about this and the Little Jane…
Both sounded great anyway and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one. I look forward to your always nice playing videos! :slight_smile:

@domi7 Thank you very much. :slight_smile: Right now I am spending like 3+ hours with her every day. :smiley:
Sadly I found there some issues about nut string spacing, so I am now in the middle of thinking how to solve it… my high e is too close on the edge and sometimes I mute it with flesh of my hand. It needs 1mm more from edge. I checked it on my Fender and that is how I have it here.
So I openned ticket and I will see… its more like user preference and if distributor wont help me I will buy nut and do it myself.
Already changed original strings from 12 to my Elixir 11 and it feels so great. 12 are for now too much for me. I set action as low as I could without buzzing and I am just enjoying my new instrument.

Something nice that happens to me with this guitar… its all solid and I can really feel small vibrations of back to my belly while strumming something. Its different from laminated.

And of course… I am again talking more than I should. I love this guitar. :smiley:
