What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good

Weight: 8.15 lbs.

It’s always a great feeling to be able to pick up a guitar and immediately think “this is an incredible instrument.” The stunning 3-tone sunburst really pops with the tortoise shell pickguard. The comfortable roasted maple neck offers excellent playability from the nut to the 22nd fret, and the pickup configuration allows for maximum versatility and nearly every tone a guitar player could want. This guitar is a fantastic example of the excellence that Suhr is known for!

Manufacturer's Description from John Suhr

The Suhr Classic is a nod to the iconic double cutaway shape that has embodied Rock and Blues music for decades. The Classic retains this vintage vibe while adding modern improvements to meet the needs of today’s players.

The improved headstock design enhances tuning stability, eliminating the need for a string tree. The optional side input jack moves the instrument cable out of the way for effortless tremolo use. Frets are Plek leveled and hand dressed for superior playability.

From vintage quack to grinding blues to soaring lead tones, the Suhr Classic delivers every time.
