What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A portion of the frets were not level with each other requiring them to be leveled, recrowned, and polished into near mint condition.Other frets showed evidence of playwear and these were also reshaped and polished into a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further videos were required.

The Suhr modern is one of those guitars we always try to have on hand. It's simply so versatile, vibrant, and easy to play that we couldn't imagine life without one. Whether it's your go to gig guitar, well-worn workhorse, or favorite fiddle for futzing around at home it'll serve you dutifully! The SSV, V60LP, and SSH pickups will capture every facet of your playing in stunning detail and offer whatever tone you want to pull out of the light and resonant basswood/maple body. And just like any one of John Suhr's wonderful instruments, the neck feels smoother than butter and comfier than your favorite recliner.
