PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVEWe're absolutely stoked to present this Suhr Custom Modern Carved Top! We waited quite some time for this one, but all in the pursuit of perfection - and boy, our friends over in the Lake Elsinore factory seriously knocked this custom order out of the park. This one features a bevy of incredible custom features, including a lightning-fast, shred-friendly Even C Extra Slim profile neck, a resonant swamp ash body, an absolutely stunning quilted maple top matched beautifully for the guitar's arched carve design, Suhr Thornbucker & V60 pickups, and a beautiful natural mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard - all dressed up in a custom Faded Trans Wine Red Burst finish complete with matching headstock. The Suhr Modern is Suhr's take on the "Superstrat", a hot-rodded platform for the modern-day player who's not afraid to deviate from the norm and needs a more aggressive look and sound, whilst still retaining the familiar shape, Suhr features, ease of use, and high-quality craftsmanship. In regards to the Modern platform in general, it's clear from the specifications of this model that John and the gang took a minute to sit down and think about what the most practical guitar would be for a player who wants to focus on playing and sounding their best with no obstruction. We love how this guitar retains features from Suhr's more vintage-style models, such as the perfectly-shaped Even C neck as well as the Gotoh 510 bridge with a steel tremolo block and the locking tuners. The latter is especially cool because, well, let's face it - the double-locking tremolo that usually comes on this style of guitar is awesome, but isn't for everyone. Opting for the standard 2-point trem and locking tuner configuration ensures both easy maintenance while still getting pretty much all the way there in terms of tuning stability and usage. The pickup selection is top notch with this one. The Thornbuckers are a great representation of the PAF tone that, for most, is considered the holy grail of vintage humbucker sounds. As with this guitar overall, the pickups are a great combination of vintage inspiration with modern design. Like Mr. Thorn himself, they're definitely not a one-trick shredding or hard-rock pony. Though you can easily saturate these pickups without losing note definition or articulation, you can also get some slightly overdriven, vintage-style bluesy sounds and even some beautiful crystal clear clean tones - especially in the auto-split 2 & 4 positions with the awesome V60 single-coil in the middle, which is the pickup of choice for most Suhr s-style builds nowadays for a reason. The outputs between the pickups are nicely matched, and the single-coil is very usable on its own for S-style punch as well. Dressed to kill and has the tone to match - that's this Suhr Custom Modern. MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION
