Furch Guitars  (Furch), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of premium-quality, all-solid-wood acoustic instruments, announces the introduction of the Pioneer Series: a brand-new line of short-scale, all-solid-wood small-body acoustic guitars designed to deliver Furch’s renowned acoustic performance and tone quality in a more compact, portable and accessible format.

The Pioneer Series embodies Furch’s commitment to delivering exceptional acoustic performance in a highly portable and accessible format. Suited to everyone from aspiring guitarists and traveling musicians to seasoned professionals, these instruments combine the signature features that have made Furch guitars a global choice: individual soundboard voicing, the CNR System® Active neck construction, resonance-enhancing finishes, and the proprietary Booster Soundport acoustic resonator.

Petr Furch, CEO of Furch Guitars, explains: “When we set out to develop the Pioneer, our goal was to make the tonal richness, projection and playability Furch guitars are known for accessible to more players, especially those seeking a compact, more affordable instrument without compromising sound quality.” He adds: “We chose the name ‘Pioneer’ to capture two key ideas: the spirit of exploration and an engineering sophistication rarely seen at this price point. Like pioneers pushing the frontier, musicians using a Pioneer guitar venture into fresh creative territory—whether on their travels, at home, in the studio or on stage. And while many brands strip features from their entry-level instruments to hit the lowest price point, the Pioneer stands apart by including all our signature innovations found in our higher-priced models, such as an individually voiced soundboard, CNR System® Active neck joint, resonance-enhancing finish and the Booster Soundport, making it truly unmatched in its class.”

The Pioneer features a body shape and bracing pattern inspired by Furch’s acclaimed Little Jane travel guitar. Like the iconic Little Jane, the Pioneer Series delivers impressive tone and projection in a travel-friendly size. Furch retained the proven body shape, added a cutaway for easier access to the higher frets and removed the folding mechanism, simplifying production and reducing cost while preserving the sonic character and portability players love.

“The Little Jane’s foldable design has won the hearts of countless guitarists around the world, but it requires specialized hardware and extra production steps,” says Petr Furch. “With the Pioneer we kept the best features: the established body size and shape, bracing pattern, volume, projection and comfort, and we’ve offered them in a more accessible package for a broader community of musicians.”

Each Pioneer model delivers impressive projection in its travel-friendly size thanks to the Booster Soundport, Furch’s acoustic resonator built into the side of the body. Inspired by extensive research into body resonance and soundhole geometry, the Booster Soundport reduces internal air pressure so the soundboard can vibrate more freely, producing a fuller, richer tone, and making it easier for players to hear every nuance. “Thanks to the Booster Soundport, players enjoy a more intimate connection with their guitar. It’s like having a private stage monitor in your lap,” adds Pavel Hoffmann from Furch’s R&D team.

In line with Furch’s dedication to innovation, the Pioneer also features the CNR System® Active, the company’s proprietary neck construction that automatically compensates for changes in humidity and temperature. Paired with a simple, user-friendly string action adjustment screw, it ensures each Pioneer maintains stable, precise playability across a wide range of conditions

The Pioneer sports a 615 mm (24 3/16″) scale length with its neck joined to the body at the 14th fret, balancing compact dimensions with full-sized response. The fretboard carries a 400 mm (15 3/4″) radius and the “Furch Soft V” neck profile, offered with either a 45 mm (1 3/4″) or 43 mm (1 11/16″) nut width, so players can choose the feel that best suits their hand size and playing style.

The Pioneer Series launches with four all-solid-wood models, each offering a distinct tonal character:

Pioneer-EM (Engelmann spruce top, African mahogany back and sides): Combines the crisp dynamics and brightness of spruce with warm lows and a balanced midrange of mahogany. Suggested international retail price: €945 / $964. Suggested USA retail price: $1007.

Pioneer-ER (Engelmann spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides): A beloved tonewood pairing delivering articulate treble, rich overtones, and deep lows for a harmonically complex sound. Suggested international retail price: €1,149 / $1,172. Suggested USA retail price: $1,223.

Pioneer-CM (Western red cedar top, African mahogany back and sides): Western red cedar offers a mellow, nuanced tone with quick response, complemented by the warmth of mahogany. Suggested international retail price: €1,098 / $1,120. Suggested USA retail price: $1,170.

Pioneer-MM (All-African mahogany): Delivers a warm, mellow voice with focused midrange and subtle compression — a classic all-mahogany sound in a compact body. Suggested international retail price: €1,025 / $1,046. Suggested USA retail price: $1,092.

The Pioneer Series is available immediately through Furch’s global network of authorized retailers and from the Furch online shop, alongside the Little Jane travel guitar models.
