Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.95 Lbs
Another one of our "Like Mike" builds.
It's tough knowing that one of your heroes specced one just like this !!!
It's hard to tell from the pictures but the sparkle in the finish of this guitar is absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a smaller radius this is the perfect guitar for you - I was surprised by how much I like the neck shape. Also keep in mind that the DSV's will give you a beautiful warm tone with smooth response to your pick attack...sounds like vintage buttery goodness.
From John Suhr Guitars
Suhr Classic
When our customers asked for an instrument with all the tone and playability of our Classic Antique, without the antiquing – we listened. The Classic Pro marries vintage design with modern improvements resulting in an instrument that is capable of producing iconic tones while retaining the build quality, features and playability you’ve come to expect from Suhr.
Suhr DSV Pickups
The DSV has a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker. The DSV Neck is a versatile pickup that combines the warmth of a vintage humbucker with increased clarity and definition. The DSV Bridge is similar to the DSV neck in tone, but wound hotter for more output, increased sustain and a sweet midrange response.
The DSV is similar to our SSV pickup, but warmer and fatter with a smoother response to your picking attack.
