Description

The Furch Vintage Pure OOM-EM is a compact, short-scale 12-fret acoustic that delivers exceptional warmth, nuance and touch sensitivity. With its Engelmann spruce and African mahogany construction, open-pore finish and responsive OOM body, it is the most fingerstyle-friendly model in the Vintage Pure range, rewarding a light touch with rich overtones, fast response and a beautifully intimate voice. Combining a 624 mm short scale with a 12th-fret neck join, this guitar feels instantly comfortable under the fingers and produces a sweet, rounded tone with a softer attack than a typical Sitka spruce instrument. The result is a highly expressive, characterful acoustic that excels at fingerstyle, folk, blues and any style where dynamics and subtlety matter. Finished in a natural, understated aesthetic and supplied with a high-protection gigbag, it is a refined, gig-ready tool for serious players. Engelmann Spruce and Mahogany EM Tonewood Recipe The EM designation pairs an A-grade Engelmann spruce top with solid African mahogany back and sides. Compared to Sitka, Engelmann offers a softer attack and quicker response, making it ideal for lighter right-hand technique and detailed fingerstyle work. The mahogany body adds warmth and dryness, while the Engelmann top introduces extra sparkle and sensitivity, giving you a warm, open sound that still has clarity and shimmer on top. 12-Fret OOM Body with Short 624 mm Scale The compact OOM body and 12th-fret neck join shift the bridge closer to the centre of the soundboard, enhancing warmth, sustain and a more vocal midrange. The shorter 624 mm scale reduces string tension, making bends, vibrato and complex chords feel easier under the fingers. Together, these features create a very expressive, touch-responsive instrument that invites relaxed playing and rewards nuanced dynamics. Highly Responsive, Fingerstyle-Focused Design This is the most responsive, fingerstyle-oriented model in the Vintage Pure line. The individually voiced Engelmann top, short scale, 12-fret construction and light open-pore finish all work together to maximise resonance and immediacy. Play softly and it blooms with detail and overtones; dig in and it responds with warm, woody punch without ever becoming harsh, making it perfect for players who rely on their hands rather than a heavy pick. Vintage-Inspired Feel with Modern Stability While the look and feel are firmly rooted in vintage tradition, the neck is built around Furch’s CNR System active reinforcement with a dual-action truss rod and carbon support. This delivers excellent long-term stability and precise action adjustment, paired with a comfortable Furch Soft V profile and brushed frets for a smooth, broken-in feel. Vintage-style tuners and artificial tortoise appointments complete the classic aesthetic, while the included high-protection gigbag keeps the guitar safe on the move. Key Features Engelmann Spruce and Mahogany EM Construction – The Engelmann spruce top offers a softer attack and faster response than Sitka, while solid African mahogany back and sides add warmth and dryness. This EM pairing gives you a warm, characterful sound with extra sparkle and sensitivity, ideal for expressive, nuanced playing. Short Scale and 12-Fret Neck Join – A 624 mm scale length and 12th-fret neck join reduce string tension and enhance playing comfort, especially for fingerstyle and chord work. The bridge position boosts warmth and sustain, giving the guitar a sweet, singing midrange and a very responsive feel under the fingers. Individually Voiced Top with Open-Pore Finish – The A-grade Engelmann spruce top is individually voiced to optimise resonance and balance. An open-pore finish on the body and neck allows the wood to vibrate more freely, contributing to the guitar’s lively, immediate response and organic, natural tone. Comfortable Vintage-Style Neck with Modern Reinforcement – The African mahogany neck features Furch’s Soft V profile for a classic feel, paired wit…

About the manufacturer

Furch Guitars

Furch Guitars is represented by acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments from the Vintage, Blue and Travel ranges, including OM, dreadnought and Little Jane formats. The current listings therefore cover both conventional acoustic playing and compact or amplified use.

The model name matters: the individual listing should be checked for the exact woods, finish, electronics, case and condition rather than treating the whole range as one specification.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

Acoustic Guitar

Acoustic guitars produce their main sound through the vibrating strings and body. This tag includes steel-string, classical and electro-acoustic instruments across several body sizes. Construction, scale length, neck dimensions and an optional pickup system are useful points of comparison.

Short Scale

Short-scale guitars and basses use a shorter vibrating string length than the common full-size format. This reduces fret spacing and changes string tension at the same tuning. Check the stated scale measurement, string gauges, bridge and setup because the practical feel varies between designs.
