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.
