Furch Guitars is a Czech guitar manufacturer founded in 1981 by Frantisek Furch. Furch began making instruments his own instruments as he had no access to quality ones. Starting under Czechoslovakian socialist rule, he originally hid his craft from officials.[1] As restrictions eased in 1987, his instruments became available publicly. The factory is currently in the town of Velké Němčice, Czech Republic.[2]
