Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
This guitar has got an acute case of multiple personality disorder and we love it! The JM body cut from Paulownia is sleek and takes the Tobacco Burst finish beautifully. Add on to this luxurious lightweight body a decidedly strat-style set of electronics and pickups, a roasted maple neck, and simplified Volume/Tone controls and the options will be familiar but altogether new! A perfect recipe for inspiration.
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
From John Suhr Guitars
Who doesn’t love its big, bold, sweeping shape? While giving the nod back to another era, the Suhr Classic JM starts with a sleeker, more refined body shape and adds enhancements to playability previously unattainable to the guitarist interested in a truly vibe-y guitar.
The Classic JM Pro offers options for a Gotoh 510 Tremolo that sounds great, and stays in tune with excellent intonation. Or, if you prefer, you can have a recessed TonePros tune-o-matic bridge with strings that pass through the body for super resonant performance. We also offer your choice of either two huge sounding but hum free S90 pickups or two Suhr SSV humbucking pickups with a low profile three way pickup selector.
