NGD - Suhr Modern Custom

[secondwindow]

HOly Mother of God that is insanely gorgeous. That's exactly the type of Suhr I'd want. nicely done

Thanks! I left work early today so I could have more playtime.

Wow! That's beautiful. Been jonesing for one of these for a while.

Of course, I have to agree. ;-]

I had Modern that I returned a few years ago because it just didn't seem right - nothing at all wrong with it, but just not for me.

Lately, I'd been wanting to give Suhr another try. I spotted this one and couldn't get it off my mind, so went for it. I even broke my own rule of buying a guitar that I hadn't played first - with no returns allowed. I had SERIOUS buyer's remorse after I pulled the trigger, but that all went away within half an hour of playing it.

Very nice

Thanks! I was really worried about dead spots based on recent threads, but I lucked out.

I think your avatar pic needs to be updated to the new guitar.
Congrats its a beauty

Thanks! Actually, that avatar is a pic of yet another new guitar that I'll post a NGD for soon.

I'm liking the Aldrich, but only have a couple hours on it. So far, I've had no thoughts of swapping it out. The output is high, but doesn't feel over-the-top to me.

If you do decide to swap out the pickups I recommend the SSH+/SSV set.

Very nice! Can I ask exactly how you took those pics? They really show the guitar quite well.

Wow! Coongrats.

I can recall the first guitar I bought with "Roasted/Baked Maple" on it. It was a Bonamassa LP Studio
and they cooked it a little too much (during the great Rosewood/Eboony crisis and lawsuits Gibson endured).
The Roasted Maple board ended up being not as wide as the Mahogany neck, and you could feel it.
It was clearly a new technique and poorly executed.

It's kind of crazy how that was about 10 years ago when one company was forced into "Roasting Maple"
and now it is kind of standard on a lot of guitars. I have grown to love it. I have a Charvel with a Roasted
Maple Neck and it feels and plays great.

Amazing! Love the top. I am about to pull the trigger on a new guitar, and a Suhr Modern Terra is leading the pack at the moment.

Agreed. I like the back as much as the top.

 

[Piing]

I prefer the back

Those look really cool.

I'm leaning that way too. The top is sharp, but the view of the back and the roasted neck really caught my eye.

Thanks for the tip. I had a set of Thornbuckers that I liked, too. For now, it'll stay as-is.

Thanks! I'd be happy to share how those pics were taken, but I wasn't the photographer.

Most of those pics were from the Reverb listing. The first two are from Suhr; the front and back pics with someone holding the guitar. I just googled "suhr" and the serial number to find those.

Their Terra line looks great!

The pics really got my attention and the specs got me to pull the trigger.

Those look really cool.

Yeah I am digging them, especially the blue one. I just wish there were some demo videos online - as of now there is absolutely no info on them (aside from on the website)
