Individually voiced for tonal clarity
At the heart of the Furch Guitars Violet D-EM w/EAS-VTC is a solid Engelmann spruce top, selected for its responsive tonal character and ability to deliver exceptional clarity across the frequency range. This top is treated using Furch’s proprietary voicing process—a precise, hand-tuned method that optimises the stiffness and mass of the soundboard. As a result, the guitar responds with a wide dynamic range, offering expressive highs, focused mids, and resonant lows. From delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming, every note rings out with excellent separation and detail. This process ensures the instrument’s natural voice shines through, giving you a consistently musical experience across all playing styles.
Reliable playability with adaptive neck design
Furch’s innovative CNR System® Active neck joint gives this guitar unmatched stability and comfort. It uses a dual-action truss rod set within a rigid carbon casing and pairs it with a solid-wood expansion element that responds naturally to changes in humidity. This means the neck adjusts automatically to maintain a consistent string action, even as environmental conditions shift. You won’t need to worry about regular neck resets or complicated maintenance—your setup stays just the way you like it. The Soft V neck profile is ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in the hand, offering effortless playability up and down the fretboard. This clever engineering keeps your playing smooth, reliable and stress-free, gig after gig.
Open-pore finish for enhanced resonance
Unlike thicker lacquer finishes that can dampen a guitar’s natural voice, the Violet D-EM features Furch’s ultra-thin open-pore finish. This specialised treatment allows the wood to vibrate more freely, resulting in enhanced acoustic projection and a more resonant, lively tone. At the same time, it reveals the organic beauty of the tonewoods used, from the fine grain of the spruce top to the rich colour of the African mahogany back and sides. The finish also contains an antibacterial additive for improved hygiene without compromising feel or tone. Furch’s approach enhances sound quality while preserving the guitar’s tactile connection to the wood and natural aesthetic.
Stage-ready with premium electronics
When it’s time to plug in, the LR Baggs EAS-VTC system ensures the Violet D-EM delivers a faithful, transparent tone through any amplification setup. Mounted discreetly inside the soundhole, the pickup captures the guitar’s natural acoustic character without colouration or distortion. It includes a volume and tone control for easy on-the-fly adjustments, giving you full command over your live sound. Ideal for studio sessions, small acoustic gigs or full-scale live performances, this setup offers maximum versatility. Combined with its sturdy build and tuning stability from Furch’s 1:18 ratio chrome machine heads, the Violet D-EM is perfectly equipped for life on the road.
