Sound Pure's Take
This is one of the best playing Suhrs we've ever seen!! You could play this guitar with your right arm tied behind your back and be happy. Perfection, clarity, inspiration, articulation, and expression are all present in this wonderful guitar and you will have no problem playing any style of music on it. Like everything John Suhr has ever sent us, this spectacular guitar plays like a dream, sounds incredible, and feels like your new best friend in terms of comfort. And talk about a classy look too!!
