Suhr Guitars Classic T

Custom / Modified Fender Telecaster-inspired boutique electric guitar from John Suhr

Modern specs and features for incredible tone and playability

This guitar is fantastic. Just fantastic! It’s so fantastic that it’s the third time we’ve ordered a guitar with very similar specs to this one. Each time they were killer and this one is no different. Just an outstanding tone beast! A true players machine! The ultimate in versatility and playability!

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 phenominal 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 be 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 verstaile 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 and defined. Especially in the bottom end. The Suhr JST SSV and SSH+ humbuckers are wired to a 5-way switch and there is a push/pull on the tone control to split both pickups when you are in the middle position- so every combination of single coil and humbucking tones can be achieved.The black hardware and blackout look, along with the 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 personal)

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.
