What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was needed. 

This Suhr in a vibrant Two Tone Tobacco Burst is a perfect blend of precision and soul. Crafted from genuine mahogany with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, it delivers warm, resonant tone and exceptional comfort thanks to its smooth 60’s C Vintage Medium neck. The Thornbucker and Thornbucker Plus pickups provide incredible clarity and dynamic range, making it equally suited for shimmering cleans or searing leads. Recently given expert luthier attention, this guitar plays effortlessly and feels solid in every way. A true investment piece, it’s reliable, inspiring, and ready to make music that matters.
