That's going to be a nice guitar. "33'' is roughly equivalent to the Martin 18/28 designation -- great materials, build quality and finish, but not much bling or decoration. I'm pretty sure "SR" is Sitka/Rosewood. I could be wrong about all of this, but that's how I understand the Furch designations.

I have Furch OM-32, very similar, just mahogany instead of rosewood, amazing guitar. Furch OM-33 is like Martin OM-28 Eric Clapton, just better

Much more responsive than the OM-28 and better balanced. Just a great guitar all round.

I own a furch om32sm and previously had an om33sr which I had on loan for a while. While the om32 is more suited too my style the om33 is a stunning guitar and I would happily own both. The sustain is amazing, and theres a wonderful sparkle to the highs with great bass response. The build quality and materials are also stunning. I have also tried a martin om28 & prefered the furch. Get it you wont be sorry.
