The Furch Pioneer-EM a is a fully solid acoustic guitar in a compact travel format, offering an expressive tone and excellent playability. Thanks to its cutaway and innovative Booster Sound Port, the model not only provides easy access to the upper frets but also delivers a particularly immersive sound experience for both player and audience. Visually, the open-pore natural finish and transparent pickguard highlight the guitar’s organic character. It also comes with a high-protection gig bag that ensures safe transport and optimal protection—perfectly rounding off this premium travel guitar.
The solid Engelmann spruce top gives the sound a lively attack and exceptional sensitivity, capturing subtle nuances rich in overtones. Meanwhile, the solid mahogany back and sides enhance the tonal spectrum with warm mids and balanced sustain. The result is a natural, characterful sound that conveys both intimate moments and dynamic passages with equal conviction.
A special highlight is the Booster Sound Port on the upper bout, which opens up the sound and adds striking three-dimensionality: the player experiences the tone more directly, while outward projection becomes fuller and more detailed.
This instrument not only delivers an impressive sound but also stands out for its outstanding playability. The mahogany neck with the innovative CNR System Active ensures long-term stability and precise adjustment options, while the soft V-profile fits comfortably in the hand. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive surface, making fretting and sliding effortless. With a 45 mm nut width and a short 615 mm scale length, playing feels pleasantly compact and relaxed thanks to lower string tension. The thoughtful design is rounded off by a compensated bridge saddle that guarantees perfect intonation and clear response across all registers.
