Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 7.4 lbs.

Condition: Used, Very Good

Opening the case to reveal this beast of a guitar was a truly breathtaking experience. The .800"-.850" modern elliptical is an incredibly comfortable neck, and with the moderns (as well as Suhr in general) being known for great playability, this is absolutely not an exception. Tonally, the guitar is throaty and tight and absolutely sings in the upper register. The incredible playability combined with the expressiveness of Suhr's pickups makes for a top-notch combination.

From John Suhr Guitars

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.
