Suhr 80's Shred MKII Electric Guitar, Neon Drip, Ebony Fretboard
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Suhr 80's Shred MKII guitar! We've been hearing from you for a few years now that you'd love to see us carrying Suhr guitars. Well, we listened!
Sure, this guitar might look like it's straight from the 80's, but rest assured, the craftsmanship and build quality put it head and shoulders above those hot-rodded strats of old. It's hard not to immediately take note of a guitar like this. "Colorful" would be an understatement. So would "badass"! From an era when music was just loud VISUALLY as it was sonically, this Suhr guitar hangs in there with the best of them. The Gotoh Floyd bridge is reliable and lets you really wail on the tremolo without ever having to worry about your intonation. The satin maple neck is lightning fast to maneuver on and pairs well with the bright, yet balanced, sound of the ebony fretboard.
You can split the humbuckers for a thinner and brighter single coil sound, or utilize them to their full potential and let them roar. They are overwound enough to maintain clarity even when heavily distorted, while yet still being able to achieve some mellower and more traditional tones. But when it comes time to let your hair down, put on those neon spandex pants, and dive back into the 80's, this is the guitar you'll really want by your side. It even has a momentary kill-switch button on it, which provides for endless possibilities of simply having fun with a guitar in your hands.
This is for the guitarist that isn't afraid to sound amazing while also making a visual statement! If you like neon, 80's spandex, wild colors, or simply enjoy having some of the finest handmade instruments around in your hands, this bad boy will be the axe of choice for the bold and the brave.
Special Features
The Suhr 80’s Shred will bring you back to the glory days when shred was king. When it was all about big hair, spandex and how many notes you could fit into one solo. Guitarists everywhere sought the ultimate in playability and over-the-top styling to set themselves apart. This our friends, is the culmination of that quest for shred. The Suhr 80s Shred MKII comes with a quarter-sawn Maple neck and your choice of either Maple or Ebony fingerboard. The Maple neck with Maple fingerboard produce a muscular tone with strong mids and a percussive attack. Choose the Ebony fingerboard for a slightly more scooped tone. The 80s Shred MKII is equipped with our slimmest elliptical neck profile, and a flat 16″ fingerboard radius. The shred is strong with this one! Stainless steel frets offer silky smooth bending and long-lasting playability. Every Suhr receives a PLEK fret dress, ensuring the best possible string action, playability and intonation. The sculpted heel of the Modern allows for easy access to all 24 frets. For optimum tone and stability, the neck joint must not be too tight or too loose, therefore all of our neck pockets are precisely fitted by hand, by expert craftsmen. A sleek take on the Classic design. The body is slightly downsized when compared to a Classic. It has a sharper radius on the edges and slightly longer horns to give it a modern, yet classy look. The Gotoh Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system keeps your tuning locked down while you dive bomb to your heart’s content. Armed with our high-output Aldrich humbuckers the 80‘s Shred covers everything from chunky low string riffing to screaming high string bends with ease. A momentary push button kill switch lets you easily pull of your favorite stutter effects.
