Description

-A modified model that reproduces the Legend 25 used by MOROHA UK-

Forch Guitars was founded in 1981 by bluegrass musicians in the former Czechoslovakia!
This is a popular brand currently used by a number of 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.

One of its noteworthy specifications is Forch's patented "CNR (Composite Neck Reinforcement)" system. In pursuit of the most stable neck structure possible, the truss rod, inserted into the carbon pipe, is firmly held in place by a special light alloy bracket that does not affect string vibration. This bracket is then firmly connected to the body, successfully improving the truss rod's resistance to neck deformation caused by string tension or humidity by 90%. Additionally, the dovetail groove is precisely machined to the same shape as the neck heel, greatly enhancing the stability of the neck joint. These features make this guitar a guitar we can recommend with confidence, as one that will last for many years to come.


This model is an original custom model that uses the basic specifications of the "Legend 25" used by MOROHA guitarist UK.
The materials used for the body are the same as those used for the signature model "FG01", with an Engelmann spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides.
The look is a "Legend 25" with core binding, abalone purfling, and fingerboard inlays featuring the same flowers and plants as the guitar's own!
The back and sides of his "Legend 25" are made of cocobolo, but if we were to perfectly reproduce this, it would be extremely expensive, so this guitar has been arranged to be more affordable.
With a solid low end, crisp mid-range, and vibrant overtones, this sound is recommended not only for UK's style but also for a wide range of finger styles.
We only have a limited number of these gorgeous custom models in stock, so don't miss this chance to get your hands on one!

*The brand of the rosette ring and tuning pegs has changed slightly from the model used by Mr. UK due to specification changes. (Rosetta: UK model, 2 Abalone strings → current model, 1 Abalone string. Tuners: UK model, Schaller Chrome + Ebony buttons → current model, Gotoh Nickel Patina + Ebony buttons.)
