What We Think

Weight: 7.5 Lbs

Suhr Modern #JS5F4G is a true love letter to one of my personal favorite Suhr artist's, James Norbert Ivanyi. James is known for fiery lead playing, tight and percussive rhythm playing, but also being able to play extremely dynamically. These specs are identical to James' main player, and I can see why.

Plugged in, this guitar absolutely screams when you want it to. Everything from chunky rhythm tones to liquid lead tones are available on full tilt; but it's worth noting that this one cleans up remarkably well. For a player using a single channel amp, you'll find this to be an incredibly expressive guitar and very capable of every end of the spectrum from glassy cleans to molten-hot gain tones. 

This one is extremely comfortable to play and the upper fret access is unparalleled. Playing this one is an absolute dream and even the most demanding licks and chord shapes almost seem too easy.

Don't let this one pass you by; this is an unbelievable guitar for anyone looking for the utmost in playability, classy and sleek looks, and of course, TONE.

Manufacturer's Description from John Suhr

The Suhr Modern features: a balanced asymmetrical body, a 24 fret elliptical neck profile, and innovative neck heel.

The innovative Suhr Modern is our high-performance take on the 24 fret design. From the speed and precision of Fusion to the pounding rhythms of Metal, the Modern is designed to deliver on every level.

With its sleek elliptical neck profile, balanced asymmetrical body, and innovative neck heel, the Modern delivers unmatched playability and comfort. Top quality wood selection and lustrous finishes make the Modern as stunning to look at as it is to play.

Quality tonewoods and Suhr pickups ensure the Modern is never short on tone. If the ultimate in performance and beauty is what you are after, look no further than the Suhr Modern.

MODERN SET-NECK

The thick, sustaining sound of the set-neck electric guitar has helped define Rock music for half a century. The set-in neck joint produces a warm, singing tone and facilitates easier access to the upper frets.

Basswood:

Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, Basswood gained prominence as a favored tone wood for shredders in the 1980’s. It is light in color and weight with almost no grain pattern. It is best suited for solid colors or as a backing wood for a figured top. Basswood bodies have a fat, well-balanced tone that produces smooth sounds without any hard edges.
