Furch Guitars and the CNR System Active: Revolutionizing Playability for Beginners and Pros
Are you searching for a guitar that not only delivers rich, resonant tones but also adapts effortlessly to changing humidity and temperature? The CNR System Active from Furch Guitars is a game-changer for both beginner and experienced guitarists. Designed to enhance stability and ease of play, this cutting-edge system ensures that your instrument remains comfortable and responsive, no matter the environment. Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or you’re a seasoned player looking for consistent performance, Furch Guitars guarantees effortless playability and long-term reliability.
The Innovation Behind the CNR System Active
Furch has long understood that the neck is one of the most critical components in an acoustic guitar's playability. The new CNR System Active builds on the success of Furch’s original Composite Neck Reinforcement (CNR) System, which already improved neck stability by 90%. This enhanced version goes even further by actively responding to environmental conditions, ensuring precise string action without requiring constant manual adjustments.
At the core of the CNR System Active is the expansive element, a specially designed wooden component that reacts to humidity levels. In high humidity, when a guitar’s top naturally expands, the expansive element counteracts the movement by tilting the neck backward to maintain ideal string action. Conversely, in dry conditions, the element contracts, subtly tilting the neck forward to prevent excessive lowering of the top. This means that your Furch guitar will always feel familiar and comfortable, regardless of climate changes.
Key Enhancements for Superior Stability
The CNR System Active also introduces a redesigned heel-to-fingerboard structure, further reinforcing stability. By improving the transfer of string tension to the expansive element and the adjustment screw, Furch ensures that the system provides long-term durability and precision.
Additionally, the L-shaped alloy heel structure has been extended to 60 mm, making it 45% stronger than its predecessor. This increase in structural integrity significantly enhances the instrument’s resilience, preventing warping or shifts in playability over time.
Effortless String Action Adjustments
Customizing string action has never been easier thanks to the Furch's new guitars. Traditionally, adjusting string height required modifications to the saddle, a process that could be time-consuming and irreversible. With the new system, Furch introduces a simple string action adjustment screw, allowing guitarists to fine-tune action quickly and easily. Whether you prefer a low-action setup for smooth lead playing or a higher action for aggressive strumming, the CNR System Active allows for seamless modifications.
Optimal Neck Relief for Playability
A well-set neck relief is crucial for preventing fret buzz and ensuring smooth playability. With features of the two-way adjustable truss rod, giving players precise control over neck curvature. Unlike conventional truss rods, which are prone to inconsistencies, Furch has integrated a carbon fiber truss rod casing, ensuring long-term stability and uniform relief adjustments.
This advanced design means that even in extreme weather conditions, your guitar's neck remains smooth, reliable, and perfectly contoured to provide maximum comfort and playability.
Uncompromised Tone and Sound Quality
One of the biggest concerns when introducing new guitar technology is whether it will affect tone. Furch has rigorously tested the CNR System Active to ensure that it does not interfere with resonance or tonal richness. By optimizing the integration of the expansion gap, which allows for controlled neck shifts, Furch has kept any tonal impact well below the threshold of human perception.
Furthermore, eliminating the need for heavy internal reinforcements, resulting in a lighter neck joint that allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely. This leads to enhanced resonance, improved sustain, and a more dynamic tonal response, giving Furch guitars their signature clarity and warmth.
Seamless Integration for a Natural Feel
Despite its advanced engineering, Furch Guitars seamlessly integrated into the guitar’s design without adding bulk or complexity. Unlike traditional truss rod adjustments, which can feel intrusive, this system remains discreet, preserving the classic aesthetic of Furch guitars.
Players will appreciate the clean, natural design, knowing that their guitar maintains a traditional look while benefiting from cutting-edge technology.
Years of Refinement for Perfection
The CNR System Active is the result of years of innovation and refinement. Early versions of this system were too complex for large-scale production, but through continuous development, Furch has achieved a patented design that is now ready for mass production.
This evolution highlights Furch’s commitment to improving playability and stability, making their guitars some of the most reliable on the market today.
