The Little Jane is Furch's travel guitar, with a neck that folds into the body so the packed instrument fits a bag small enough to carry on.

YouTube video Alamo Music Center · 2022-03 — Close look at the Furch Little Jane travel guitar, including how it folds down and how it sounds.

Why it matters

Travel guitars usually shrink the body, and the compromise is audible; the Little Jane instead folds the neck away, which shortens the packed length while leaving the body and soundboard intact. It is built in the Czech Republic from solid tonewoods, so it costs several times what a laminate travel guitar does. Owners generally treat it as a second instrument for travel rather than a main guitar.

Note

The travel model with a unique take-apart neck design.

Specifications

  • Scale length: 615 mm (24.21 in)
  • Neck shape: Furch Soft V

Before you buy

  • The folding mechanism needs care, so read the reassembly instructions
  • It costs several times a laminate travel guitar
  • Solid woods carry the usual humidity precautions
