Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The matte on the back of the peghead was restored. The heel and Fingerboard were polished.
The Suhr Classic T Antique is a masterfully crafted T-style guitar that blends vintage-inspired tone and feel with modern precision. Its two-piece swamp ash body delivers excellent resonance, snap, and clarity, while the Classic T pickups capture the familiar twang and articulation that made the design iconic. The lightly aged lacquer finish and comfortable 60s C-shaped maple neck give the guitar a broken-in feel from the first chord, while stainless steel frets and the SSCII noise-canceling system provide modern reliability without sacrificing character. Finished in Trans White with a classic Bakelite pickguard, this Classic T Antique is elegant, responsive, and full of timeless Tele-style personality.
From John Suhr Guitars
The 2018 Classic T features a new 60’s C vintage standard neck profile. The Classic T retains many of the original specifications of the Classic T Pro including the SSCII hum cancelling system and stainless steel frets. The Wilkinson compensated 3-saddle bridge provide classic 3-saddle tone with superior intonation. 2018 also marks the introduction of Vintage Natural, a new finish option for the Classic T.
