Any Suhr antique/vintage out there?

[andy888]

Wondering if I could see some pics of a relic'd Suhr....I am thinking of getting one.

Thanks!

nice mude!

How is the feel of it? is it difficult to intonate? rolled fingerboard edges? does it stay in tune?

cheers!

Here are a couple pics of my Suhr Antique. Killer guitar and feels really legit.

That is killer. There is one of those, same headstock but black at a store near me. Costs about $6000 US dollars though :-(

:love: That is such an awesome collection it's worth the double img post :-)

Could you perhaps elaborate on them? Specs, degree of relic'ing, playability?

Thanks!

All of them has a Vintage C-medium neck and FL single coils as well as the SSC.
The 3-tone has a 7.25" - 9" radius. Heavy relic and brazilian fingerboard. Basically a very good 64 strat. Gotoh 6-screw bridge.

The black has 10" - 14" radius and a SSV humbucker. Heavy relic. Wilkinson 6-screw bridge

The white has an old growth maple neck with 9" - 12" radius. Gotoh 6-screw bridge. Light aging.
It's the heaviest of the bunch but it's def the one with the fattest, punchiest sound. My go-to guitar. The FL in the bridge is awesome.

All of them play like butter. Obviously, the radius set for different action, but they all play absolutely great. I like them all for the different feel they have.

Thanks. I'm contemplating an antique as well, but I'm a little bit sceptic towards heavy relic'ing, but some say that has the best feel/playability? I'm leaning towards light aging for cosmetic reasons - how's the "worn" on that one?

It's not really visible until you look up close. Then you see all the nice small cracks. The neck feels absolutely great when it's worn like heavy relic'ed. You feel right at home.

Thanks! I'll def. try one, given the chance.

This is a really F'n Killer looking guitar !!!

they do offer a non-aged version that is an all nitro/lacquer finish with vintage appointments. I have not played one yet but would be interested to check one out just to compare with my 'normal' custom suhrs.
