Description

Forch Guitars was founded in 1981 by bluegrass musicians in the former Czechoslovakia!
This is a popular brand used by many renowned artists, including Okazaki Michinori, Nakagawa Isato, Kishibe Masaaki, and UK (MOROHA)!

As one of Europe's leading brands, Forch is loved primarily by fingerstyle guitarists. With their meticulous construction, beautiful finish, refined sound, and smooth playing feel, there's a reason why they are used by so many musicians.

This "Yellow Gc-CR" is a Grand Auditorium cutaway style guitar from Forch Guitars' classic Yellow series (formerly the 23 series)!
The top is made of AAA-grade Western Red Cedar, and the back and sides are made of AA-grade Indian Rosewood.
The combination of the auditorium body, which has excellent volume balance and deep bass, and the cedar top, which is characterized by a deep, soft sound, makes it highly recommended, especially for the fingerstyle style that is popular these days.
The separation between each note is excellent, making this a suitable guitar for players who want to bring bass lines and melodies to the forefront.
The nut width is wide at 45mm, but the outstanding playability provided by the thin neck shape has earned it support from many players.
The design, which has been carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, features a thin abalone rosette, eclipse-type position markers, and tortoiseshell binding and bridge pins, giving it an elegant and calm European feel.
Come experience the European style that is a little different from American guitars!

◆CNR System Active (Composite Neck Reinforcement System)◆
This model is equipped with Forch's proprietary "CNR System Active (Composite Neck Reinforcement System)."
This is an innovative neck design that has been updated from the existing CNR neck system. Its most notable feature is the string height adjustment bolt installed in the neck block, which allows you to adjust the neck angle, without having to grind down the saddle.
Additionally, the neck is more rigid and stable than the previous system, ensuring longer-lasting playability and stability.

*To safely adjust the neck angle using this bolt, special tools and operation by a technician trained in adjustment techniques are required, so please consult the Ikebe Music Store acoustic floor staff.
