BIG SKY
S=super jumbo, 23 is akin to the current yellow series, CM= cedar on mahogany, Cut=cutaway.
Contrary to what it looks like, it is a lightweight guitar, with a very open and expansive sound. Some deep bass on tap, warm mids, and clear and light highs. The cedar top gives it a volume threshhold. The mahogany back and sides is more transparent than mahogany normally is. Not as sassy as normal. The topsheet and bracing are very light and responsive. Traditional looks (think Old European. Furch is from the Czech Republic) and modern refinements (matte satin finish on the neck, tuning machines, and the voicing of the instrument) Scale is just about 26" so a little longer than normal. Mahogany neck, ebony fretboard and bridge.
I wasn't looking for something like this, but the price was right, and I'm blown away. Personally, I think Furch should bring back the super jumbo size! It's a hard guitar to put down!

Rich Piano-like strings that last longer than others
Great for adding detail to a darker guitar. Feel good. Last a long time. I like to play on them for a few days before recording with them though, they have a bright sheen when first put on. Overall, they are awesome. I recommend people treat themselves to a set.
