Here for sale we have a Suhr Classic S Antique electric guitar in Light Aged Fiesta Red finish. Suhr guitars are the work of John Suhr, who started his career as a guitar technician at Rudy's Music Stop in NYC. He began building guitars in 1974; creating Mark Knopfler's famous signature model under the Pensa-Suhr name in 1984. After a brief stint as a senior master builder in the Fender Custom Shop from '95 to '97, JS Technologies (Suhr Guitars) was founded in 1997, growing into the world renowned high-end instrument brand we know today. 
 
Made in the USA in 2019, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a 3-piece Alder body, Roasted Maple neck & 22 fret Indian Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with Chrome hardware including a Wilkinson Year One 6-Point tremolo bridge with Bent Saddles & a set of Gotoh Kluson vintage style tuning machines. The pickups are installed in an HSS configuration, with an SSV humbucker in the bridge and a pair of V63 single-coils in the neck & middle positions. These are wired to a 5-way selector switch, master volume, neck/middle tone & bridge tone controls, with a push/push coil split for the bridge pickup. 
 
The Roasted Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 60’s ‘C’ Vintage Medium profile feeling slender, whilst the Oil finish to the rear of the neck provides a comfortable, smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. The Maple  fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 9"-12" compound radius and Medium Nickel frets assist with string bends and vibrato techniques, delivering a tailored ‘modern/vintage’ playing experience in any position, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The double cutaway body design allows for great access to the instruments highest frets, allowing the player to make the most of the entire register.
 
The Suhr V63 single-coil pickups deliver quintessential ‘Strat’ sounds with a dash of Suhr's signature refinement. They sound sparkly with a hint of darkness, whilst retaining clarity with each note. The Suhr SSV passive humbucker in the bridge provides a bright & snappy tone without sounding at all brittle or harsh, and with a hot output can drive your amp into a searing overdrive tone for rock rhythm parts. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a glassy clean tone. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup offers a smooth, warm, rounded tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones. The addition of the push/push coil split adds another level of versatility, allowing you to achieve all of the traditional Strat sounds along with some beefier tones for rock rhythm parts & searing leads.
