No Suhrprise to anyone - but here it is!

[slash-ed]

Most of you know about this already I think but I didn't get around to posting it here when I first got it.

Here's my latest, greatest superstrat - Suhr Modern in Chili Pepper Red. Mahogany neck/body, quilty maple top, pau ferro fretboard, stainless steel frets.

I'm a bit afraid to admit it but... I think I like it better than my N4. :S

Posh as.

Hey Ed, with the mahogany body and neck, and the maple top... How similar does it sound to a Les Paul?

Looks fantastic BTW

Thanks!

Not really at all like a Les Paul. There are so many more factors than that - shape and thickness/ratio of mahogany to maple, scale length, bridge type, etc etc. It does sound like the most mid-forward, "hifi" sounding superstrat I've ever played though. Even more so than my Korina N4.

Very nice indeed.

Ugh, that headstock

Conway was asking if they do it in swimming pool blue?

[slash-ed]

Only lava pools here sorry.

[jeremyb]

Way nicer than the pool, congrats!

I like it... I like it a lot.

Suhr pickups or some other make?

That's what I wondered. You'd hope it didn't sound like a version of a Fender or Gibson, but something very much of its own.

Ugh, that headstock

I don't get the Suhr headstock hate? Is it because it looks like a Samick headstock? Samick just copied it from Schecter who got it from Tom Anderson and Pensa-Suhr who've used it for yonks.

It's like seeing a war-time banner headstock Gibson and disliking it because the logo resembles that of a Blueridge....

Amazing guitar by the way, well done Ed.

I'm in with the Suhr headstock hate. Not at all because it looks like a Samick. I just don't like that aesthetic. I always hated the Tom Anderson and Pensa-Suhr headstocks too!

Amazing guitar though, for sure! If I wasn't so shallow with the headstock hate, I'd possibly already own a Suhr Classic T
