AussieJames: Have a friend who sells Furch guitars along with Martin, Lowden, Santa Cruz, Breedlove, high-end German made guitars and two local Korean guitar brands. When I visited his shop a few months ago(which has about 3-40 guitars hanging on the wall any given time), the Furch guitars was priced at around US$1,000 to 1,500 range. Did not test the Furch but he said Furch guitars are the poor man's Martin.
BTW, he visited NAMM in January and is pursuing exclusive distributorship on Olson guitars http://www.olsonguitars.com/

Their wood boxes get good reviews everywhere these days. Lot of bang for the buck. never knew they used to make roundbacks.

Furch wood guitars sound good, but their neck is a bit weird for me. once played on furch roundback and it wasn't anywere near my Legend tone-wise.

IMHO better line of guitars produced by Furch is Stonebridge. great for fingerpicking.
