Gregory Furan is a notable luthier based in Canada, known for his craftsmanship in building high-quality guitars. He operates out of Toronto, Ontario, and has been active as a luthier since 1996. Furan's lineage traces back from Sergei de Jonge, who was mentored by Jean Larrivee, a protege of Edgar Munch, establishing a continuum of luthiery expertise from Munch's arrival in Canada in 1964 to Furan's contemporary work. He specializes in creating concert-quality classical and acoustic steel-string guitars, indicative of a focus on providing professional-level instruments for musicians.One of his recognized creations is the C-49L Classical Guitar, which reflects his expertise and commitment to quality. This particular guitar model is a handcrafted piece made from solid spruce and rosewood. It's noted for its excellent sound, making it suitable for classical, jazz, and fingerstyle players.

Through his work, Gregory Furan continues to contribute to Canada's rich tradition of lutherie, marking a spot for himself in the realm of custom guitar creation.This Gregory Furan C-49L Classical Guitar was fitted with internal pickups, as part of a recent professional installation, enhancing its versatility and making it suitable for amplified performances without compromising its acoustic qualities.
