What a lovely little guitar Michael!
...and straight in the overhead locker on the plane!
I saw one last year in an instrument store in Stockholm and have been thinking about it ever since. No distribution in the US, either. Best idea for a travel guitar I've seen so far.
Hey! The Furch distribution and servicing center is located at 1865 Air Lane Drive, Suite 19, Nashville, Tennessee. Take care;-)
How beautiful! If only I had money.. Thanks for this detailed video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. I really like your original tunes and added them to my learn list, especially the 2nd one. And now I have a new craving for a guitar I didn't know existed. Arrgh.
That's crazy ! I want one!
I’ve never seen such a thing ! Great idea and nice sounding
This is love!!!
Very Nice instrument! And it sounds real good.
What a great little guitar!
yes, very cool!
Is this the real Michael J. Fix? WOW!!!
Yes, thats a great little guitar, great idea. Another guitar that can do a similar thing is my little Baby Taylor. It has the neck attached to the body by two screws and is easily taken off as long as you have a screwdriver with you. So it will also fit into a small bag.
Yeah I also own a baby Taylor, but is not quite the same. Furch is a real guitar that will last a lifetime, which after having had many Taylors I can't say the same. The folding of the furch takes way less time than doing it on the Taylor, plus you can save the neck on the furch, which on a Taylor you can't
@@javiercisternasnajle I agree. I have had three baby taylors , and (ok it was my fault), two of them came apart at the joint between the neck and the headstock. But I used the best body with a neck and headstock I already had, and have one good baby taylor now .

Iv had my baby taylor for over 10 years now and treat her like shit, and she's still a great little guitar. Iv never dismantled it before though lol.
Hi Michael, ordered the Furch Little Jane today, right after watching your video. Thank you for posting the video and sharing your experience with the Little Jane.
have fun with your new Little jane... make sure you take her with you wherever you go!
Can't wait to get mine :) they are selling out in Germany
Great Video! I have a full sized Furch Millenium 23! It is my dream guitar!
thanks Rick.
Hi Mike, nice "Show & Tell" . I remember you used that lovely little Jane during the workshop last time @ KulturGUT Bechtolsheim. Sounded very good, especially for all the bluesy stuff. Greetz from the dog and the rest of the gang!
yes, I remember, just after I got it...love to you all!
I was looking for a parlour but this would be a definate option.
I was actually looking for a parlour-size guitar when I came across the 'Little Jane'
delighted to find one as new with pick up as well delightrd with it..
Nice, a cool little guitar and the compact packaging can't be beaten. But if you can't get to Germany to buy a Little Jane, you could always come and make a Little Wing traveler at Brisbane Guitar Making School ;-)
I can recommend that!
Hi Michael,
There are a couple of videos I've seen on the Little Jane in the last two weeks, which show it "in tune" straight out of the back pack. It made me wonder if it really did stay in tune.
I also wondered how the neck to nut joint would last over time, or would it get sloppy.
It's certainly an interesting concept, and seems very well made and a good sound.
Guess we will have further updates.
Regards Dennis
I think that would have been a fluke...I don't know any guitar strings that would go back to perfectly in tune after losing all their tension like that!
Take a look at a "Voyage Air" guitar.
Having problems with my neck separating from
Headstock. I just bought it a month ago. Furch says it’s no big deal. $1600 guitar … I think it’s a big deal .
What's the main issue with it? 🤔
Mr. Fix, That's great! Thank you for the review. Do you know if they make a classical nylon string version of this guitar? The only other company I'm aware of that makes a similar guitar is Journey Instruments - but this Furch seems even more compact and the sound is very good, too - plus you play to beat the band!
I don’t know about a nylon string version...perhaps contact the company directly.
I'll have to try this. I have a FULL SIZE Voyage Air that folds up.... but having some issues with it...
I found this in Germany; (popular in Europe) But I dont know how readily available Furch guitars are in other countries.
Been thinking of building something like this, but also to collapse the body flat. Wonder if that's possible.
Structurally impossible
What's the tune being played at the begining of the video? It's sweet.
polityka nazw that piece is an excerpt from ‘The Balcony Bunch’ - an original I intend to do a full-length video of that tune.
What would ya compare this to baby Taylor or a baby Martin ?
I don't have either of those available for direct sound comparison, but I would say that the Furch has a pretty nice tone, lots of volume for its size, and folds up very small!
Those guitars are garbage compared to a furch, not hating, just facts, I have a baby Taylor and have had many Taylors minigs. This guitar is the real deal.
Always frustration because Every vidéos on this is almost all about thé smart système.
What about thé sound and playability ???
Also have to compare with Well established models such as Martin junior/ lx1, Taylor HS mini.
Vincent Delmas Playability is excellent, and the sound is very nice for a guitar of this size - I hope you get a good idea of the tone of the instrument from the video. It was recorded using stereo condenser mic’s
@@MichaelFix thx for your caring. Searching for the best possible little guitar for guitar / sing stuff. Cause i'm very small ( i mean Prince Small lol ) size of the guitar matter.
i know Taylor GS mini or Martin Dr junior are well established reference but i like the idea to have something different and not inferior in the same time.
The " best " model i find are the little jane ( love the size and sobriety ) and the Breedlove prairie burst ( not sure of the exact name, it's a relatively new series parlor size i guess, maybe a little bit bigger, and with a cutaway wich i appreciate even it changes the harmony of design )
This is way better quality than your Taylor and Martin. I have a baby Taylor and have had many gs mini, and this is in another planet in terms of wood quality and durability
@@javiercisternasnajle i m a happy owner of the little jane since few months now. Sound and playability is good. Just have putted a lr baggs system to be able to plug it ( but it's not so satisfying this way for the moment )
i tend to play acoustically.
Have to say if you don't need the portabiliy, maybe you can try bigger sized guitar ( Furch, why not ) 'cause i'm feel they have to compromise for the compact size. cheers
Too bad its USD 1500 ... Way way too expensive for a regular acoustic guitar with high portability
Depends. If u use it for 20 yrs, then it's 75 dollars a year.
Furch LJ is top of the line. Play it first and then comment:)
Is not a regular guitar dude, I bet you've never played it
Can't tell you how many guitars got smashed by baggage mishandlers.
Wear some socks, bare feet are disgusting!
