Crafted especially for vintage feel and tone with modern playability, the 2015 Classic Antique series embodies the best of Suhr's builds. The Classic Antique series is John Suhr's response to the gigging musician's need for professional-grade instruments at an affordable price point, with the most requested specs of Suhr's catalogue applied to incredible 'S' and 'T' style guitars. Lightly reliced finishes ensure the guitarist can take his or her axe out to the gig without having to worry over smalls dings and dents in the guitar's finish!

John Suhr’s ‘T’ style guitar, like all aspects of his brand, are rooted in tradition. The Classic T Antique series has taken the most notable characteristics of 50’s ‘T’ style guitars that gained so much notoriety, and applied a few modern twists for exceptional playability. It all starts with the Swamp Ash body, a common staple of vintage ‘T’ styles. The tonewood has a natural brightness and crisp clarity that can only be attributed to itself, with awesome natural presence. With the capability to cut through any mix, and the vintage mojo that can nail just about any clean tone imaginable - you’ll be hard pressed to find a more impressive build of a vintage tone machine like this one!

In the spirit of the original, the Classic T Antique™ was developed to meet the demands of players who asked for an instrument that preserves classic tone and design, while improving on the limitations of vintage instruments. The T-style guitar has long been the go-to workhorse for many guitarists. The new Classic T Antique™ propels this design to new heights by blending the best of the old and new schools, in a design that will make you re-think what is possible.

IMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every Classic T Antique is built with impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail to ensure that every neck pocket is tight, every fret is perfectly dressed, and each instrument plays its best before leaving our facility.

A FINISH THAT RESONATES

The antiqued Nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the Swamp Ash body to resonate freely and feel like it has been loved for years.

UNRIVALED PLAYABILITY

The Even C medium neck profile, medium stainless steel frets, and 9-12" compound fingerboard radius improve upon the playability of vintage instruments, resulting in a neck that is equally comfortable for chording and soloing.

ROCK-SOLID STABILITY

The one piece roasted Maple neck provides improved stability and lends a classic “woody” tone to the instrument. Suhr Locking Tuners improve tuning stability.

BUILT FOR TONE

Our Classic T pickups cover a broad range of vintage and modern tones. From clear and twangy to thick and growling, the Classic T Antique is equally at home in a Nashville honky-tonk or on the Sunset Strip.The 3-saddle vintage style bridge and compensated brass saddles combine vintage tele tone with improved intonation.
