Furch Pioneer CM – Cedar & African Mahogany Travel Guitar

The Furch Pioneer CM is a compact, all-solid travel guitar designed for players who want a warm, expressive voice in a perfectly portable format. Built with the same care and voicing techniques found across Furch’s higher-end lines, it delivers a remarkably open, responsive tone that feels far bigger than its size suggests.

At the center of the Pioneer CM is a solid Western Red Cedar top, chosen for its immediately warm, harmonically rich response and its ability to respond effortlessly to a light touch. Paired with solid African mahogany back and sides, the guitar offers an intimate, earthy midrange and a smooth, rounded high end—making it an ideal instrument for fingerstyle, nuanced accompaniment, or relaxed songwriting sessions. Cedar brings out color and sensitivity, while mahogany keeps the tone clear and focused.

Furch’s individually voiced soundboard and the Booster Soundport help the guitar project with surprising confidence, giving you a fuller, more immersive playing experience. The short 615 mm / 24.2" scale, compact body, and exceptionally comfortable neck make it easy to play anywhere, while the CNR System® Active ensures long-term stability and consistently low action.

Finished in a natural open-pore style with clean black binding, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, transparent pickguard, and a high-protection gig bag, the Pioneer CM feels every bit like a serious instrument—just distilled into a size that fits your life.

Warm, responsive, and incredibly inviting, the Pioneer CM is the travel guitar for players who want a softer, more expressive voice that never feels like a compromise.
