Suhr Guitars Classic T HH Blackout
Dual Humbuckers
Dark Pau Ferro Neck and Fingerboard
Custom Boutique Electric Guitar from John Suhr
Modern specs and features for incredible tone and playability
This Custom Classic T is one of our all-time favorite configurations! Every time we get one through we are floored by the tone and playability. Just a killer, killer machine! Over the top FANTASIC sounding. This guitar is OUTSTANDING!
John Suhr sure knows how to build a stunning guitar! When we originally ordered this Classic T we were thinking about a hard and heavy rock machine. However, once we spent some time playing it we were stunned about how versatile and phenomenal sounding it is at just about any style of music! Tone ranging from hard rock and metal are obviously not a problem. But the subtle nuances of a Gibson 335 can conjured on some jazz and fusion style riffs, as well as some spanky, single coil country and blues tones as well, thanks to the great pickups and versatile electronics setup.
The solid Pau Ferro neck and Alder body with strings through construction add a lot to the solid feel and tone of this guitar. Clear and crisp with blooming notes. Not harsh or spikey- just well rounded. The Suhr JST SSV and SSH+ humbuckers are wired to a 5-way switch (Bridge full, Bridge/Neck split, Both full, Neck split, Neck full). There is a push/pull on the tone control to split the bridge pickup. The black hardware and blackout look, combined the Abalone dots and logo, gloss headstock and Montego Black Metallic finish of this guitar give it an understated elegance that comes alive upon closer examination. (Montego Black is not actually plain black- but has a very subtle, pearlescent / metallic quality when viewed up close and personally)
Like all Suhr Guitars, this one plays great! In fact, I dare say you’d be hard pressed to find anything that plays better. It’s also uber-comfortable thanks to an elegantly contoured body (tummy, arm and heel). Suhr Guitars builds some of the finest boutique electric guitars on the planet. The ultimate in craftsmanship and quality control.
