Suhr Modern Custom HH Guitar, Trans Green, Burl Maple Top, Ziricote Fretboard, Roasted Flame Maple Neck

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to present this Suhr Modern Custom! There is a lot of gorgeous wood figuring to look at on this one. The top is a gorgeous and beautifully bookmatched burl maple. The neck is a piece of figured flame maple that has been roasted for a smooth satin feel and added rigidity in the wood. The fretboard is a piece of ziricote that also has some really interesting grain patterns that look really great with the abalone dot inlays.

We traveled to John Suhr's factory and hand-picked all of the woods used for this guitar and we couldn't be happier with how it all came out. Every inch of this guitar gives you something to look at and appreciate. It's mesmerizing right out of the case. But it only gets better once you actually plug it in and play it. They really did a phenomenal job with this one and the construction is out of this world. The fretwork is so good on this and we received it already with very low action and an ease of playing that would make most other guitars and guitarists green with envy.

Both humbuckers can be split to achieve a thinner, airier, and more vintage single-coil sound. But then, of course, you can run this racecar-of-a-guitar at full speed for a rich, thick, and meaty tone that will be sure to turn some heads. The Aldridge pickups have high output and are aggressive when fully opened up, but can also be easily tamed with the tone knob on the guitar. The ziricote fretboard sounds like ebony. It's bright and snappy while still having some decent mid-range presence that keeps the tone articulate when you need it to be. This guitar can handle anything you throw at it, whether you're looking to play clean, slightly dirty, or very heavily overdriven. The feeling of the neck is nothing short of sublime! Sure, it looks awesome with all that flame figuring and the dark roasted color, but it also feels wonderful on your fretting hand. The smooth satin neck allows you to fly up and down with ease. 

If you're aiming to turn some heads with your tone as well as with the looks of your axe and want a piece that's truly unique and built by some of the best luthiers on the planet, then all we can say is... You're welcome! :-)
