Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to present this Suhr Classic S Antique HSS guitar!

If you're looking at this, chances are you're already familiar with the impeccable reputation that Suhr have built for themselves over the years. Known for their high-end boutique hot-rodded guitars, the craftsmanship, and playability of these guitars is unparalleled. If you're looking for something that will be reminiscent of that Strat you had back in the day but want it to play and sound like it was put together with some of today's finest guitar builders... Well, you can stop your search right here! This guitar has a vintage look, but make no mistake that this isn't a vintage sounding strat. Its nitro finish is lightly and tastefully checked and relic'd and the fretboard is tinted to complete the vintage aesthetics.

The SSCII noise reduction system gives you silent circuitry (that's right! No more messy 60-cycle hum when soloing a single coil pickup) while still preserving a true single coil tone. The single coil pickups are genuinely vintage-sounding while still having enough body to them to be able to handle some more modern applications with distortion. Vintage Strats can tend to have very thin and shrill sounding bridge pickups, but not this bad boy! Even when you split the humbucker you're still left with a sound that, while bright, still has body to it and does not sound like an ice pick going through your eardrums. In the full humbucking mode, the bridge can handle any amount of distortion or saturation you choose and will help really make this a much more versatile guitar than a standard 3-single-coil s-style guitar.

The compound radius fretboard makes the playability effortless and stainless steel frets ensure that you can own this guitar for decades without having to worry about getting it re-fretted. The even 60's neck shape feels extremely comfortable and will either remind you of your favorite old strat or will redefine what a playable neck should feel like for you. It's not toothpick-thin but also is far from being chunky. It's a true playground for your fretting hand.

This guitar can really do it all. It sounds great clean and pristine, but also really starts to shine as you add a bit of dirt to the tone. This axe truly rocks!
