Artist Collaboration Program

QuoteDaveGunning

Are you an established or emerging professional artist considering the purchase of a new acoustic guitar at this time?  If so, and you meet our criteria, this could be a wonderful opportunity to acquire a world class instrument at a significantly reduced price.

For over 30 years Frantisek Furch has been building fine handcrafted guitars in a beautifully restored mill in the Czech Republic.  Throughout Europe and beyond these guitars bear the Furch family name.  Since being introduced to the USA and Canada approximately eight years ago under the Stonebridge name brand, they have earned a high degree of respect from professional artists, guitar enthusiasts, retail shops, and songwriting circles.  There is no doubt about it, these are serious musicians’ guitars.

Please check out our the SGI Stockroom to view all the guitars we have available: SGI Marketplace Stockroom

In late 2013, the factory expressed a strong interest in having their family name introduced to USA and Canada as well.  As such, Stonebridge Guitars International has recently been offering their guitars under both the Stonebridge and Furch brand names.

Over the history of Stonebridge, the Artist Collaboration Program has played a important role in helping introduce the guitars to North America.  At this time, we have decided to use the same program to further help establish the Furch brand.

As we work at getting a new guitar brand name out there, we face the same kind of challenges professional musicians do in promoting themselves in today’s music industry.  We have learned that there can be tremendous benefits in combining our efforts at a grassroots level with hardworking and talented musicians.

We work together primarily on social media to help spread the word to our community about the artists who play our instruments.  It’s a collaborative process built on trust and mutual respect, rather than a typical exclusive endorsement contract.  We basically promote each other in our respective ways.

To be clear, we are not handing out free guitars!  However, we are offering successful candidates a significant discount towards the purchase of one or more of our instruments.  If you happen to be thinking about getting a new guitar and the timing is right, this might be a perfect opportunity for you.  It is a chance to acquire a handmade, world class guitar without having to spend a fortune.

      The factory used to make an arch top, it was awesome. Unfortunately they stopped making them a few years back. Perhaps you can find a used one. Search for Furch A17-40CM.

    This week’s feature from our showroom:) A Furch RAINBOW OMc-LR-xDB. The moment we started tuning the first string up to pitch we were impressed by the volume and tone. Once it was tuned to concert pitch, we put this guitar through the paces and it’s a monster! Can’t believe the power and clarity of the bass. Words fall short to describe the feeling of playing it. This guitar was custom ordered for our stock. Price: $5795 CAD ($4400 USD) Specs: Straight grain alpine spruce top, master grade rosewood back and sides, Koa back centre strip, Koa tail wedge, rosette of premium Koa with abalone shell ring, ziricote fingerboard and bridge, ziricote headstock overlay, Koa binding of body, fingerboard and headstock. Gotoh 510 gold patina with ebony buttons. Amazing build by @furchguitars ! #acousticguitar #guitar #luthier #musician
    ****SOLD**** contact us to order your own RAINBOW Series today.***** We are huge fans of alpine spruce tops. It’s a tonewood with incredible sweetness and clarity. It’s a softer spruce that leans toward cedar in tone but still has the clarity we love from Sitka when played with force. We custom ordered this Furch RAINBOW series Gc-LC for our showroom here at @sgimusiccorp / @brickhouseguitars . It has an alpine spruce top (Switzerland moon wood) and cocobolo back and sides. There’s a host of other appointments too. At less than $4500 USD ($6000 CAD) @furchguitars is producing elite level custom acoustic guitars, with premium tonewoods and solo luthier level voicing, at a much more attainable price bracket than a guitar built by the competitors. Free shipping anywhere in North America! Send us a DM. #acousticguitar #customguitar #luthier #alpinespruce #cocobolo #fingerstlyeguitar #guitar #wow #madeinczech #usa #musicians #songwriters #canada #kitchener #kitchenerwaterloo #ontario
    This delightful pre-owned Stonebridge guitar from 2008 was recently traded-in to @brickhouseguitars . The guitar is perfectly set up and plays very smooth in the hands of beginners and pros. The solid cedar top has opened up brilliantly and produces a soothing yet defined tone. It is exceptionally versatile and excels when you put it through the paces. An ideal companion for the road or studio. $725 with gig bag. #acousticguitar #cedartop #luthier @sgimusiccorp
    One of a kind Furch RAINBOW Series with aged sitka spruce top, adirondack spruce bracing and ebony back & sides. It’s very hard to explain how amazing this guitar sounds. In terms of power it’s a 10/10 cannon but it also prevails in how expressive it is. Visually it’s a masterpiece. #acousticguitar #furchrainbow @furchguitars #guitar #luthier #czechmade #customguitar #fingerstyleguitar
