Sound Pure's Take
The Suhr Modern Plus Bengal Burst is a precision-built performance machine that blends modern playability with boutique tone. Its basswood body with flame maple top delivers balanced warmth and clarity, while the roasted maple neck and compound-radius fingerboard feel effortlessly fast and smooth. Jumbo stainless frets and a 2-post tremolo ensure stability and expressive control. The SSH+ and SSV humbuckers, paired with a V60LP single-coil and push/pull splitting, offer everything from articulate sparkle to soaring sustain. Impeccably crafted and supremely versatile, this Suhr is a serious player’s guitar and a smart long-term investment.
From John Suhr Guitars
The Modern Plus features a roasted maple neck with pau ferro or maple fingerboard. The Modern Plus retains many of the original specifications of the Modern Pro including the sleek elliptical neck profile, balanced asymmetrical body, innovative neck heel and stunning flame maple top. Proprietary Suhr locking tuners and 2-Post tremolo provides superior tuning stability.
