Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Frets that were lifting slightly were reseated and secured. Select frets were leveled, crowned, and polished. The truss rod and bridge were adjusted.
The Suhr Custom Classic is a beautifully refined, professional-grade instrument built for effortless feel and inspiring tone. Its two-piece alder body in Black Cherry Metallic gloss pairs comfort and clarity with sleek, familiar contours, while the satin-tinted maple neck in a 60’s C Vintage Medium profile feels smooth and instantly inviting. A rolled 7.25" rosewood fingerboard adds a broken-in touch, making every chord and bend feel natural. Dual Suhr DSV humbuckers deliver warm, articulate punch with focused bite, and the Gotoh 510 trem provides rock-solid stability and expressive control. This Suhr is a smart long-term investment—built to perform flawlessly and stay exciting for years.
From John Suhr Guitars
Suhr Classic
When our customers asked for an instrument with all the tone and playability of our Classic Antique, without the antiquing – we listened. The Classic Pro marries vintage design with modern improvements resulting in an instrument that is capable of producing iconic tones while retaining the build quality, features and playability you’ve come to expect from Suhr.
Suhr DSV Pickups
The DSV has a broad sonic aperture with very little compression, making for a dynamic, vintage output humbucker. The DSV Neck is a versatile pickup that combines the warmth of a vintage humbucker with increased clarity and definition. The DSV Bridge is similar to the DSV neck in tone, but wound hotter for more output, increased sustain and a sweet midrange response.
The DSV is similar to our SSV pickup, but warmer and fatter with a smoother response to your picking attack.
