From John Suhr Guitars

Suhr Classic Antique

Our customers have asked for an instrument that has a vintage look and feel, without sacrificing playability and tone. Enter the Classic Antique™. We designed this guitar to ensure it preserves the spirit of a vintage instrument while performing like a Suhr. Impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that every neck pocket is tight, every fret is perfectly dressed, and that every instrument is ready for peak performance before leaving our facility.

The nitro-cellulose lacquer finish and our proprietary antiquing process make each Classic Antique™ feel like it has been loved for years. The Classic Antique now includes: our innovative SSCII (Silent Single-Coil) hum cancelling system, a vintage tinted nitrocellulose neck with stainless steel frets, and a Maple fingerboard option.

Old Growth Riverwood

At Old Growth Riverwood, we harvest river-submerged wood locally from the Cape Fear River and recycle/reclaim wood from old barns, structures and old buildings locally, regionally and nationally [if our customers want us to recover wood for them and turn them into gorgeous custom products — preserving the history of the wood for generations to come]. All of our wood is processed, milled and recycled right here Wilmington, NC and we even recycle the wood shavings by donating them to horse farms! We are a small U.S. mom and pop and we are proud to brand our products as made in the U.S.A. We love what we do… we love our customers… and, we love our environment!
