The Signature Standard models were handmade by the Furch Guitar company in the Czech Republic in late 2009, they featured AAA-grade timbers and were supplied in a British-made, Faith-logoed, Hiscox ABS flightcase.
The Signature Standard models differed from the Limited Edition models by using standard Bubinga for the binding - as opposed to the more expensive and exotic Koa. Plus, the Standard Signature models did not have Patrick James Eggle's signature inlaid into the headstock.
Sadly, there were actually only 14 of each of the 3 types of signature standard models produced, as European currency fluctuations became too great to ensure consistent pricing. The serial numbering does NOT run specific to the model, so therefore it is not possible to distinguish whether you have number # of #. (Unlike the original Ltd Edition Models which were labelled #1 of 10 etc). The serial numbers on the Signature Standard models are to be read as being numbered in the order of release from the workshop at the time.
