Here's a bit of a ramble. I'm still thinking about a 12 fret slope shouldered dreadnought but haven't seen one in the wild yet. I did play a Larrivee Spruce/Rosewood Jumbo last month which was a first for me. It was a great sounding guitar and comfortable to play but I prefer the Larrivee L and Martin dreadnought body shapes better for larger guitars. 

Last month I bought a Furch Violet Series Guitar (Model Gc-ER a). Furch's numbering system is a little funky, (maybe that's a Czech Republic thing), but the guitar has a Grand Auditorium body with a Venetian Cutaway, Englemann Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides. The guitar came with a really nice padded gig bag that includes six storage compartments, two water bottle holders, two handles and straps to sling the guitar on your back. The guitar has a top binding, no back binding and fret markers on the side but none on the fretboard itself. The neck is 1 & 3/4" at the nut and has a soft "V" profile. The wood grain on the top, back and sides is straight and blemish free. This guitar also has an open pore finish (Furch version of satin) which really highlights the wood grain.  My son also had an unused TKL hardshell case that is almost a perfect fit. The guitar was restrung with a set of D'Addario Nickel Bronze light gauge strings which are really nice.

When I bought this guitar, I also played another Furch with a beveled arm rest that was about $400 more but it had a barn door pickup which I am not a fan of. I am currently using a Fishman Humbucking soundhole pickup and I like the way it plays. Before buying this guitar, I also played a new Martin mahogany topped 000-17 that was really nice but not nice enough to dethrone my mahogany topped Larrivee 00-24. I also played several other guitars from Martin, Taylor, Eastman and Gibson but the Furch came home with me. The Furch fits in nicely with my Forum VI LSV-03 (Moonwood/Walnut) and my Martin OM-35 (Sitka/EIR). I'm still learning the subtleties of the Furch's soft V neck which is somewhat different from the  Larrivee and Martin neck shapes. Overall, the build quality and value of my Larrivee guitars is hard to duplicate for the cost of their instruments. Of all the guitars I have bought in the past 20 plus years, the 00-24 still gets more than its fair share of playing time.

Well, Gibson just released their Century series which is 3 of their models all of which are 12 fretters, the J-45, 185, and the 00 model. The J-45 is listed at $2399. I've been tempted by this as I would also like a real slope shouldered dreadnought. But my dealer who loves Gibson talked me out of it and I ended up ordering a Larrivee L-03mh. I think Furch makes good guitars. But I don't like that they keep their wood tuning system secret. We know how it's done. Couple this with 2 videos of Larrivee vs Furch and Larrivee easily won with my ears. So much for their tuning system. A couple of years ago I wanted something besides a Larrivee. My dealer sent me two sound demos and asked which I liked better. The one I chose was an Eastman. The other was the Furch. The top strings on the Eastman just sung out better. Anyway, I'd love a 12-fret dreadnought square or slope shoulder. Too bad Larrivee only did this a couple of years ago on a limited run. My dealer had two, but they were already taken before he even got them. I have considered the Furch Vintage series 1 which has an all-mahogany dreadnought for $1879. But in that price range maybe I'd be better off with a Martin 15 series. I've read Martin has a much better resale value.

I imagine that Engelmann top sounds great on your Furch. I've had a few custom guitars (bought used) with engelmann, and, man, it can really deliver for fingerstyle playing. Hope you enjoy it!
