Suhr Guitars is an American-based guitar brand beloved as a representative of modern high-end guitars.
Notable players who favor the brand include Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, and Mateus Asato.
John Suhr, founder of Suhr Guitars, began his career at the renowned Rudy's in New York. He gained high acclaim for his work designing amplifiers at CAE and as a master builder at Fender.
His outstanding work with his own brand, Suhr Guitars, goes without saying.
This model is the Modern, one of Suhr Guitars' signature models.
It was ordered by the American music store, Wild West Guitars.
The Modern's slightly smaller, asymmetrical body shape offers excellent playability whether standing or seated, fitting a variety of playing styles.
The body back is Basswood, the top is Burl Maple.
The top is finished in a natural color, showcasing the beautiful, swirling grain of the Burl Maple to its fullest.
The clear resonance and attack provided by the Maple are complemented by the richness of the Basswood, achieving a rich and balanced tone.
This wood combination is considered the golden ratio, often referred to by John Suhr as the Holy Grail of sound.
The neck is Roasted Maple with an Ebony fingerboard.
The neck profile is Elliptical .800″-.850″. It features stainless steel jumbo frets and a tapered fingerboard radius, known as a tapered fingerboard, where the radius flattens from the low to high frets.
The beautiful finish, possible only because Suhr Guitars possesses a deep understanding of how the neck shape should respond to string vibration, is not something anyone can achieve.
The pickups are Suhr Aldrich for the Neck and Bridge, and ML Standard for the Middle.
The Suhr Aldrich is the highest output humbucker in the Suhr Guitars lineup, an exceptionally capable pickup that delivers high gain without sacrificing picking nuance.
Its tight low end and punchy midrange make it ideal for driven sounds.
The ML Standard is Michael Landau's signature pickup, a model that combines the essence of 60s single-coil tone with added power.
The bridge features a Gotoh Floyd Rose tremolo system.
This minimizes tuning instability while enabling dynamic arm-based effects.
Left-hand vibrato offers a distinct nuance, covering everything from subtle to passionate effects, further expanding your expressive range.
A high-quality masterpiece combining Suhr's signature playability with premium sound.
