I posted a thread here about Suhr guitars and finally I found time to post pictures of my Suhr Standard. I'm no photographer, but it doesn't really take a lot to make this baby look good.
Specs:
SUHR
Standard - Mahogany/Flame-maple top, scraped binding
Mahogany/Indian Rosewood neck, natural satin
Even C Slim neck shape
Match-figured headstock, Sperzel locking tuners
Gotoh 1055 bridge, recessed
Plek'd Medium Stainless steel frets, Buzz Feiten
DSV neck humbucker
V60 middle single-coil
DSH+ bridge humbucker
Aged Cherry Burst with Cherry back finish
All AMAZING

I got this used. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to grab this bargain because a deal like this is hard to find. I paid only half the selling price if it were brand new. Having said that though, this guitar was rarely played. It still smells like new and I think the previous owner never took the guitar out of the house... even out of the case for that matter. This guitar was well taken cared of and is in super mint condition. (unfortunately, the guitar ended up in my hands -- haha!)
The craftsmanship is just superb. The finish, the frets, the nut, the tuners, the pickups... I tried really hard to look for flaws, but no avail. Gibson and Fender Custom Shop should learn a thing or two from John Suhr.
The guitar is very responsive, the wood breathes life and resonates like no other bolt-on guitar I've played or owned. I really love the shimmer that the stainless-steel frets deliver aesthetically and tonally. The Slim C neck shape is very even all across the board and very comfortable to play with. Slim is sort of an overstatement because it doesn`t feel really slim at all. It should be called `even C perfect`.
The pickups sound very unique and I`m still getting used to the tone of the double-screw bridge and neck humbuckers. They sound a lot tighter and clearer, but smoother than your regular single-screw humbucker. They seem to be missing that attack a-la JB when soloing. However, I really love that pin-point accuracy and tightness of the bridge pickup whenever doing fast staccato picking. In addition, there`s a lot of chunk in these bad boys which compliments the mahogany body and neck.
The 2, 3 and 4 positions really give you that strat quack a-la SRV. You can go from an Ibanez/Les Paul tone in the 1 and 5 positions, to a Strat with a flick of a switch. John Suhr surely got his strat quack down.
I`m really happy with this purchase. Really comfortable guitar with tone and looks to spare. Maybe in the near future I`d get another one but according to my own specs. Suhr guitars are totally worth it.
