The neck is Mahogany, and Ebony is used for the fingerboard, bridge and head plate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Stonebridge G24SR example is in good condition with minor play wear and a couple of pressure marks on the top that don't break the finish.  Fret wear is light to moderate, primarily in the lower positions and under the B and E strings.  The guitar plays well, with the full, even sonic representation, volume and projection the Grand Auditorium is known for. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Stonebridge hard shell case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStonebridge G24-SR Materials and Construction \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the Grand Auditorium body shape introduced by Taylor Guitars in 1994, this Stonebridge by Furch G24-SR adds a cutaway (some labels for cutaway models would read GC24-SR).  The Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides have Sitka bracing, with Mahogany used for the body blocks and kerfed linings.  The neck is also Mahogany, with Ebony for the bridge, head plate and unbound fingerboard.  The position markers are small Abalone dots, and the rosette features an Abalone ring.  The top is protected by a thin clear pickguard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck joint is a hybrid precision mortise and tenon, and a two-way truss rod is accessed through the sound hole.  The head and neck mate with a finger joint, providing maximum gluing surface and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware includes a set of Furch-branded tuners by Ping Well, with 15:1 ratio.   The nut and compensated saddle are Graph Tech Tusq.   There are no installed electronics,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrantisek Furch and Stonebridge Guitars International \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrantisek Furch has been building guitars and other musical instruments for decades, and as opportunities opened up in the Czech Republic, moved to full time instrument building. The “Stonebridge” name refers to the Charles Bridge in Prague. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurch guitars have been well received throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the UK under the Furch name.  In 2003, Furch and their Canadian partner Roger Schmidt created the Stonebridge Guitars International distribution company in Kitchener, Ontario Canada to handle the North American market.  In 2018, Furch decided to bring worldwide distribution 'in house', opened a US distribution center in Nashville, and dropped the Stonebridge name and that distribution arrangement.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStonebridge Guitars International still exists and markets the Avenir line of instruments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
