Furch CNR System Neck Design
A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.

1. A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
2. A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over aperiod much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates agradual bow in the neck, afactor of essential importance for playability.
3. A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures astable position of the neck and its angle vis–vis the body.

Contrasting black details
The spruce soundboard of the Violet Masters Choice is decorated with binding, pickguard and an annular rosette in a contrasting black design.

Excellent playability
The ebony fingerboard of the guitar is equipped with special shortened frets which deliberately do not extend to the edge of the fingerboard. This prevents them from protruding due to fretboard shrinkage at lower humidity. The resulting area contains a flexible ebony-colored filler, which can perfectly absorb any changes.
