Sound Pure's Take
Pure time machine magic that can start and stop on a dime--this is what modern guitar making is all about! Taking the sound and feel of the 60s with the bulletproof craftsmanship and obsessive pursuit of perfection embodied by every Suhr since John's first years ago. This is a lifetime achievement for the builder and a lifetime instrument for the player--don't let these moments pass you by!
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.
