Sorted… got a Furch Blue OM MM on the way!

Looking for something all solid woods for under £750 if there’s anything about?

no cutaways, just not my bag.

I quite like all mahogany guitars, but not a dealbreaker.

Anything that’s not a dread or a jumbo, and preferably just acoustic, no electric/plug in/knob bits!

  • Auden are a good option. There is an Auden Chester Neo on ebay for £699, all solid, cedar top, rosewood back and sides. There are some youtube reviews with some great demos. I'd say they are great value for money. Hand built by luthiers in China then shipped to the UK and setup up over here. Worth a look :)

  • A second hand Eastman E10 00 would be your best choice.

    I’d find a Furch in that price range.

    That's a great deal. They've got some really good discounts at the moment. I've been pondering on whether to try to sell my OM-CM but I'll have to wait for their sale to end!

    If it’s the one that is £949 I almost bought one myself a while ago. I’ve yet to find better value for money in acoustics than what you get with a Furch. Larrivee possibly running them close.

    Congratulations. I’ve got 2 Furchs and had a third. Excellent guitars, hopefully you’ll enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

    Richards have had a 25% off Black Friday deal where they were selling some of the Blue for around £750 which is an incredible deal. I assume that's what the OP has gone for.

    Congrats. Sounds like a great deal. 

     Apologies for the slight derailment but how do Furch, particularly the vintage series, compare with the mainstream Martin and Gibson stuff?  I’m a bit intrigued by the brand but not likely to have the opportunity to try in person.
