Frequently Asked Questions
The 48mm nut width offers a comfortable, but slightly wider string spacing, which can be a plus for fingerstyle players but might require some adjustment for those used to narrower 12-strings.
Furch’s neck profiles are generally designed for comfort, and this model likely has a medium-full profile, accommodating a range of hand sizes, though it's always best to try before you buy.
The EAS-VTC is designed to be versatile, delivering a natural acoustic tone through both clean and slightly overdriven amps; it avoids harshness even when pushed.
