Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

This one's a keeper. It's an elegant workhorse of an instrument. It sounds and plays so good you may forget to oogle how it looks, but you really should. Underneath that beautiful finish is a piece of swamp ash that vibrates like a tuning fork. Nothing beats a Suhr neck, either: vintage feel, modern playability. These pickups bring you all the classic T tones and more; from womb-like warmth to treble-edged spank. There’s always going to be new territory to chart with this one in your arsenal.

SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed

From John Suhr Guitars

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.
