Limited quantities available in Japan! Engelmann spruce top custom model now in stock!
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.
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, the "Yellow Deluxe Gc-ER," is an Ikebe Musical Instruments exclusive custom model from the "Deluxe" series, which features a double contour and is one of the most popular models in the classic Yellow (formerly 23) series of Forch guitars.
The top is made of Englemann spruce, which is whiter and finer than the commonly used Sitka spruce, and the sides and back are made of AA-grade Indian rosewood.
The combination of the auditorium body, which has excellent volume balance and deep bass, and the Englemann spruce top, which is characterized by a soft, full tone, produces a sound that is more delicate than the regular Yellow Series and is well suited to fingerpicking.
The double contours at the elbow and chest, known as Bevel Duo, provide a comfortable fit even during extended playing sessions, and also give the guitar a three-dimensional, beautiful appearance.
As a special custom feature of this model, we have used Hawaiian Koa wood, which has deep grain and beautiful color, for the body, fingerboard, and headstock outbinding.
The Deluxe series has an impressive, luxurious look even in its standard specifications, but the wood binding gives it a gorgeous, deep, and beautiful appearance. It pairs well with the Englemann spruce top, which features pure white wood grain, creating a beautiful contrast that is also a highlight.
This is a special limited model that can be ordered in limited quantities.
It is possible to create a bike with similar specifications in the Rainbow series, which allows for original customization, but it will be significantly more expensive, so don't miss this opportunity!
