Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. No further work required.
Comfy neck, strong tone! The SSV Humbucker at the bridge gives you just a little bit more oomph for playing rock rhythm while still giving you the sparkle and clarity you come to expect from S-style guitars. The indian rosewood board feels like heaven under your fingers.
From John Suhr Guitars
The Classic S features a new 60’s C vintage standard neck profile with indian rosewood or maple fingerboard and V60LP single coils. The Classic S retains many of the original specifications of the Classic Pro including the SSCII hum cancelling system and stainless steel frets. Proprietary Suhr locking tuners and the Gotoh 510 tremolo provides superior tuning stability.
