The core of Furch Guitars' portfolio is their six color series: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet. Each of these series is defined primarily by the grade of tonewoods, finish, and appointments.

The flagships of these six series are called Master's Choice. Unlike the standard color models, Master's Choice instruments are made to set specifications, such as the body shape, top and back tonewoods, and fingerboard width. Furch relied on both the master luthier's and the master musician's perspectives in determining these specifications.

Other guitar models include vintage guitars, grand nylon guitars and traveling guitar Little Jane
