Sound Pure's Take
Wow, this guitar is ridiculous!! It is definitely an eye-catcher that harkens back to an older time, but it's full of all the innovations Suhr has spoiled us with over the years. The Pau Ferro board is a joy to play and like all Moderns, the neck is super fast and easy to play. All your legato licks will come with ease but you can also lay into it as hard as you want. Get ready to turn heads and melt faces with another outstanding offering from one of the most incredible builders around!
