The core of Furch Guitars' portfolio is their seven color series: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Each of these series is defined primarily by the grade of tonewoods, finish, and appointments.[3]

The flagships of these seven series are called Master's Choice. Unlike the standard color models, Master's Choice instruments are made to set specifications, such as the body shape, top and back tonewoods, and fingerboard width. Furch relied on both the master luthier's and the master musician's perspectives in determining these specifications.[4]

Other guitar models: Vintage guitars, acoustic bass guitars, grand nylon guitars, traveling guitar Little Jane[5]
